    I'd love to be a gangster, just for a week. Have a driver to drop me around, pop around to a few friendly businesses, ask them wheres my money, they'll say the business is bad and I'll say, I don't give a rats, you find me my money, gotta business to run and standards to uphold, with my two bodyguards beside me and our pristine suits

    Then we'd leave and tell them we'd be back, hop back into our mercedes and go to a restaurant, where eveybody would be fearful of us and the waiters would fall over to help us, the best of food and for free

    Then we'd go to a club and get front row seats and put in the V.I.P area and all the service we want, the champagne flowing.

    Then the next day have a driveby and a shootout, wipeout that pesky gang that always caused **** for us and who we swore vengeance against and epic getaway and escape to the harbour where there would be a boat waiting for me to go to somewhere exotic with the authorities in hot pursuit and I'd speak in an Italian accent.. yeah, cho biatches

    What the F*** is a 'great gangster'

    Well, he's clearly a master of the trade. He's lasted to 81 without being taken out by a rival and evaded arrest until now, when he's virtually on his deathbed. I suppose you could say he's the last 'celebrity gangster'.

    They still have to catch this guy now though - the leading figure in the Sicilian Mafia. He supposedly admitted to killing over 50 people himself. Pretty formidable character, and still quite young. I reckon he's a bit more unhinged than your average mafioso, having read a little bit about him.

    He was 89. Are they sure he didn't just die?

    The BBC headlines it with "Killed" but then says he was found dead in his cell.

    I'm sure more details will come out soon enough but if all of the prison movies I've seen are anything to go by it'd be easily enough seen with the naked eye if he was killed, or just died.

    Ah well, no great loss really is it?

    The Boston Globe already has his obituary up. here:
    The former South Boston crime boss was the city’s most infamous criminal. He became as widely known as some of Boston’s reputable citizens, and in his own milieu he insisted he was an honorable criminal who lived by a scrupulous code. He portrayed himself as the neighborhood’s protector, keeping drugs out of Southie and striking at the forces behind the imposition of school desegregation, which he and others saw as the beginning of the end of the insular, isolated South Boston, where they grew up.

    But that self-serving narrative, which Mr. Bulger spent his entire career cultivating, was left in tatters after his 2013 racketeering trial in federal court in Boston. He was portrayed as a menacing figure who bribed FBI agents, flooded his own neighborhood with drugs, chained and interrogated men before shooting them, and strangled at least one woman.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    A fellow inmate with ties to the mafia is being investigated according to Matt Pearce of the LA Times.

    Assassinated by nature?

    Dana White, founder of the Ultimate Fighting Campionship says he had to leave Boston when Bulgers goons came looking for extortion money. He was having his first bit of success running boxing matches. Didnt know what to do, payed them first then decided it was best just to pack up and move.

    I cannot understand the fascination with this man.
    Even more difficult to understand is the fascination of the Irish media.
    "Irish-American gangster..." would you ever **** right off.

    The people who were in charge of bringing a notorious criminal into a general population prison, populated by mafia, and leaving his cell door open should be investigated also

    Updated -


    According to the Boston Globe, Bulger was in a wheelchair and beaten to death by multiple inmates armed with a sock-wrapped padlock and a shiv.[91][92] The Hazelton prison confirmed that the homicide took place there the morning of Bulger's death (the third homicide in a 40-day span).[93] Fotios "Freddy" Geas is the primary suspect in orchestrating the killing of Bulger and he has not disputed his role.[91]
