Battle of the Bulger ends.

No loss.

Sometimes, I admit, I wish there was a hell for these scum to burn in

The closest we can do is a one way ticket to Gary Indiana...

[Joods]

He was on FBIs "most wanted" list with Bin Laden. Quite an achievement.

I really wouldn't call that an achievement. LOL.

People like this, should be used as lab rats, and crash test dummies!

What a loss to humanity. Sicko Mobster and serial killer ends up dead in prison. Now, mind you, I am no fan of revenge, but at the same time, his murder in prison should not come as a shock, nor will I lose any sleep over it.

Mobster movies may make great for entertainment, but in reality mobsters are disgusting selfish psychopaths whom have no value for life or empathy for others.

Just think, if he'd had his career a few years later he could have been president.

I can remember an episode of the Boondocks where Riley starts up a chocolate syndicate, running a fundraiser like a cartel, and Huey asks him: “You watch a lot of gangster movies, right? How many of them have a happy ending?” It’s pretty clear that things never quite turn out well, and even if it doesn’t end with them whacked or arrested, it either ends with the protagonist acutely aware that either is a possibility, and that there’s no guarantee that someone’s going to shoot them the second they roll credits, or with them acutely aware that they’ve sacrificed a big part of themselves in getting as far as they did.

At least Black Mass, the film about Bulger, did a good job of showing how, underneath the “Modern day Robin Hood” reputation he cultivated, he was pretty much a thug with good publicity.

Then again, if we can’t expect scientists to not watch Black Mirror without trying to make it happen IRL, it’s probably not reasonable to expect people to see gangster movies and want to be a part of them. Every generation’s gangster movies get even darker (see the Warner Bros gangter movies from the 30s, The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos for more on that), and it still attracts a following of people willing to be a part of them.

The world is a better place now.

His manner of death - being beaten beyond recognition and had his tongue cut out - is excessive brutal.

Consider the fact that such an end would befit the orange haired baboon, and no one can make any case that his crimes against the human enterprise is even an infinitesimal fraction of those of the orange haired baboon.

They did a bit on NPR - by the guy who was the manager of the apartment building where Whitey and hisd wife lived.

He said that they were great tenants. 

The manager helped the FBI nab Bulger - and was worried about retribution, so he wrote and asked Whitey if he had to look over his shoulder.

Bulger replied " Naw - they would have gotten me anyway. We re good".


Still - I think I'd move to Alaska....

Ah! That was featured on the Moth podcast! Good episode.
