Well, that's what happens. Kind of goes with the occupation. He won't be mourned too heavily, I'm sure. He was a rat.



Infamous Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger – who was a fugitive for 16 years, was sentenced to life in prison in 2013 and was portrayed in film by Johnny Depp – was killed at a West Virginia prison on Tuesday, the day he arrived at the facility, multiple reports say. He was 89.

Bulger was killed at a West Virginia prison, according to the Boston Globe. He was transferred to the high-security USP Hazelton on Tuesday morning in Bruceton Mills. He was recently moved from a prison in Florida and had a stop in Oklahoma City before arriving in West Virginia.

Fox News confirmed that Bulger was found dead at the prison.

A union official for correctional officers at the high-security prison told WV News there was a homicide at the facility, but couldn’t say whether it was Bulger. Hank Brennan, Bulger’s attorney, told BuzzFeed News, he couldn’t “confirm or deny it at this point.”

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation was notified and an investigation has been initiated. No staff or other inmates were injured, and at no time was the public in danger," the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement.

Bureau of Prisons officials and Bulger's attorney declined last week to comment on why he was being moved. A person familiar with his move told the Boston Globe said Bulger’s health was deteriorating.

Bulger was convicted of racketeering, and other crimes, including extortion, conspiracy, money-laundering and drug dealing in August 2013. The jury believed he took part in 11 of 19 killings.

The mobster was one of America’s most wanted criminals until he was captured in Santa Monica, Calif. in 2011. He had spent more than 16 years on the lam before his capture.

Following his conviction, Bulger was transferred to the U.S. Penitentiary Coleman II in Sumterville, Fla., in 2014 from another high-security facility in Arizona, according to the Boston Globe. He reportedly was scrutinized for his relationship with a female psychologist.

Bulger was being transferred to the same facility where Paul Weadick, another convicted killer from Boston, was serving a life sentence, the Boston Globe reported, citing records.

Weadick was convicted in June for murdering Steven DiSarro, a Boston club owner, in 1993. The Globe reported Francis “Cadillac Frank” Salemme, a former New England mob boss himself, was involved in DiSarro’s and was convicted in the killing and sentenced to life in prison.

Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi, another former Bugler associate and FBI informant, testified during Weadick and Salemme’s trial that he walked in on DiSarro’s murder and walked out.

Flemmi had teamed up with the Winter Hill Gang, where Bulger became a top lieutenant in the 60s, in 1974. Bulger became one of Flemmi’s key allies during his time in the criminal underworld.

Bulger’s life was portrayed in the movie “Black Mass,” starring Depp.

His girlfriend, Catherine Grieg, remains in prison at a federal woman’s facility in Minnesota and is set to be released in September 2020. She was captured with Bulger in Santa Monica in 2011.

Greig pleaded guilty in 2012 to identity fraud and harboring a fugitive. She also pleaded guilty to criminal contempt in 2016 for refusing to cooperate with authorities.

William Bulger, the gangster’s brother, was a high-ranking official in Massachusetts. He served in the state Senate starting in 1970 and became president of the state Senate eight years later. He went on to serve in the post longer than anyone in its history.

In 2003, he was forced to resign as president of the University of Massachusetts system amid growing pressure over his brother’s case. He said in a statement after his brother’s arrest in 2011 expressing his “sympathies to the families hurt.”

“Whitey” Bulger had one son with a waitress and former model Lindsey Cyr. Their son died at the age of six from Reye syndrome after having an allergic reaction to an aspirin injection in 1973.

Breaking News: He fell on his fork 72 times.

What’s worse, being a mob rat or being a crooked FBI agent on his payroll ? At least his big shot politician bro was family. So there’s that. They only got him on 11 of 16 murders ? That must have been a slow year if all the stories are to be true

Best whitey story I heard was how he and his associates “came into possession” of a 14million dollar MAss winning state lottery ticket.

Follow up to the lead story:

An unnamed inmate just received a huge pile of money on his inmate account.

Made it to 89. Pretty good run for a mobster, in or out of the pen.

Whitey would have had a lot of enemies. He was not a good guy.

Lived WAY longer than any of his victims.

Whitey Bulger

Whew! For a moment I thought it was a human.

He was apparently brutally beaten to death with a heavy object in a sock and then had his eyes gouged out as well. A fitting end I'd say.

I heard the above account on the Howie Carr show.

Dude was too old to fuck and too proud to suck.

I’ll believe he’s dead when I see him laid out in a Southie Funeral Home. Sorry but with this guy it could be the FBI staging a death to protect him like they did for 30 years and let him die with family.

Every last FBI agent that used him as an informant or assassin should be in prison.

Any comment from Robert Mueller?

quote:

What did Bob Mueller know about the FBI’s framing of four innocent men for a murder they didn’t commit, and when did he know it?

This is an important question for the “special counsel,” and for two days I’ve been emailing his press office, asking for answers about his tenure in the U.S. attorney’s office here, specifically, his time as acting US attorney in 1986-87.

No response. Zip, zero, nada.

This is a major FBI scandal, perhaps the most outrageous one in American history. The FBI railroaded four men to prison for a murder the G-men knew they did not commit, and then made sure they remained in prison for upwards of 30 years.

They (or their estates, because two of them died in prison) were eventually awarded a total of $102 million in 2007 by a federal judge for false imprisonment.

The four men were Henry Tameleo, Peter Limone, Louis Greco and Joseph Salvati. They were convicted of murdering a small-time hoodlum named Teddy Deegan in a Chelsea alley in March 1965. An FBI informant named Joe Barboza committed perjury in a state trial in 1968, to settle some old scores and protect one of his old friends, another serial killer who was the brother of another serial-killing FBI informant.....

Makes me wonder how Sammy the bull has survived so long...

You're right - the eyes were gouged out to send a message. Brutal.

Interesting concept

Was Whitey Bulger’s Prison Murder a Deep State Hit to Protect Mueller?


It may indeed turn out that Whitey Bulger was murdered in prison as Mafia retribution for his special “relationship” with the FBI and the fellow mobsters he betrayed. Those things do happen. However, the timing, along with certain circumstances, is especially suspect. Bulger survived on the run for 16 years, and then nearly two years in prison while awaiting trial, and an additional five years in prison since his conviction in 2013 on multiple charges of murder and racketeering. Why was he not murdered during the past seven years, and why was he silenced permanently almost immediately after being transferred to a new prison?

The wheelchair-bound former mob boss was murdered within hours of being transferred to the Hazelton prison. It appears that his assailants had advance knowledge of his arrival. Since 2014 he had been incarcerated at Coleman II federal prison in Florida. However, before being transferred to the Hazelton facility, he was shuffled briefly through the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma. A number of questions arise:

• Why was Bulger transferred to Hazelton?

• Who initiated the transfer order?

• Why was a high-profile convict with numerous enemies placed in Hazelton’s general population rather than a protective unit?

• Why was Bulger, nearly 90 and having health issues, transferred to Hazelton, which reportedly has no adequate health facilities for his condition?

A possible — and plausible — answer to these questions is that very high-level people in the anti-Trump Deep State “resistance” within the administration knew they must not let Bulger reveal any of the dirt he knows on Mueller. It looks like and smells like a setup to rub out a potentially damaging witness. An investigation of the Mueller-FBI-Boston Mafia conspiracy would start a thread unraveling that would also lead to Uranium One, Skolkovo, the Clinton Foundation, and many other criminal actions in Mueller’s career. Mueller’s carefully crafted sterling image would crumble, and with it the Trump-Russia collusion illusion that the Deep State and its media shills have spent enormous resources over the past two years promoting.

As long as they provide law abiding citizens protection from him and his type, I'm not that concerned about what they do to each other.
