The guy compared big Paul to the Purdue guy. He ain't around no more. Back then, there were so many crooked cops, they would've been selling the location and info on the killer to the Gambino family. Those days are gone. Who knows, maybe this is only the beginning and we get a real gruesome story on how they pour gas in his cell and he burns to death. Wasn't the black guy who shot Colombo a patsy? Someone will make a name for themselves and get him inside. Nobody called Bulger's slaying.
