Gangster James 'Whitey' Bulger found dead in prison

#karmaisabitch

Bye bye good residence.

I am surprised that this did not happen sooner seeing as all the people that he ratted out. Dangerous people. Dangerous connected people. Dangerous connected people who have people on the inside doing life, willing to make their families lives on the outside a little easier for a few minutes work.

Conspiracy Llama is intrigued by the timing of his death. One day after being transferred....
*puts on tinfoil hat*

In the US, violence behind bars seems to be part of the sentence package, a pretty sad state of affairs for a developed country. Bulger was an obvious potential target and should have been better protected.

He should have been put in the wing of the prison where they keep the older inmates that can't defend themselves from the younger thugs. Putting him in general population instead of protective custody just ensured his death, especially with the mafia out to get him for all the information Whitey gave to the FBI about his Italian mob competition when he was running Boston.

Dincy Nuttin.
Move on, no story here... look! there's a lady using food stamps from YOUR tax money!

Another case of how a cop can't fart without 10,000 recordings on YouTube, but no one's every seen doing anything wrong on prison security cameras.

I had assumed he should have been in the SHU.

Agreed. He gets relocated and then immediately placed in the company of people who are known to want him dead.

Yup. Bulger got the death penalty.

A sad commentary on who runs the prisons.
