LIVE COVERAGE: Whitey Bulger Found Dead at West Virginia Prison

By Staff and Wire Reports
Published 9 minutes ago | Updated 2 minutes ago

Notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger was found dead at a West Virginia prison on Tuesday, federal sources told NBC News.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday morning that Bulger had just been moved to a new prison in West Virginia. The Federal Bureau of Prisons online inmate log on Tuesday listed Bulger as an inmate at USP Hazelton, a high-security prison with an adjacent minimum security satellite camp in Bruceton Mills.

The 89-year-old Bulger had recently been moved from a prison in Florida to a transfer facility in Oklahoma City. Prior to that, he was held at a prison in Tucson, Arizona.

Bureau of Prisons officials and his attorney declined last week to comment on why he was moved.

I'm sure he had some very fine qualities. He was just misunderstood. After all, who hasn't caved in some rats head with a bat and regretted it later?

but only kind of...

I'm feeling some comfort in knowing that he didn't get to die of old age in prison, he was in for a few years and I hope he was really uncomfortable the whole time, he deserved nothing better.

Is there even a whisper of any connection whatsoever between trump and bulger?

Speaking of mobs and horrible people, can't help looking for dots.
