WHITEY

So, finally, they caught Whitey Bulger.

Whitey Bulger Arrested in California

Just a couple of days after a new APB, they found his girlfriend and then the man himself.

If you do not know who Whitey is then you are not from Boston.

Bulger has been on the lam for many years and has been one of the most wanted men on the FBI's list.

His notoriety is more tasty because there is a side story. His brother, William, was, at one time, one of the highest profile politicians in Massachusetts. Speaker of the House and Democratic Party leader he finally became President of the University of Massachusetts. He was a brazen bastard himself and succeeded in spite of his brother's bad guy career.

Whitey was a killer. He was also an FBI informant, a sideline that will certainly emerge as he is charged and tried.

His life was the stuff of movies. In fact one, The Departed was ostensibly about him. One of the rare sightings over the years was at a screening of this film in San Diego.

If I was on the run, I would come to California. It is warm and the people are nice. And, more than in the east, they mind their own business.

What would it be like to successfully elude the authorities all this time and then be caught at 81, your sunset years? Let's see if Whitey has anything to say about it.
