BBC News - Gangster James 'Whitey' Bulger killed in prison
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46036058
A predictable end really. Both Johnny Depp and Jack Nicholson portrayed him well but as an FBI informer (if correct) he was always going to struggle in prison. Not a nice guy at all.

Weird, randomly found myself reading his wikipedia page on my lunch break yesterday. No surprise at all he's been murdered.

Beaten to death in his wheelchair apparently, don't know why someone as high profile as that would be in a general population part of the prison?

Don't know the whole story but possibly a fitting end for someone who ruled by intimidation and violence.

He was probably quite formidable in his day and if anyone had exacted that 'revenge' when he was in his prime then it may have seemed an impressive retaliation.
Statement killings of the elderly and infirm just don't seem to sit right. Certainly his reputation seemed larger than, and distorted the reality of, what this man - what any man - becomes with age.

I get your point but you live that kind of life it never leaves you.
Also for guys in the jail already doing life killing somebody with a reputation like Bulger is a big thing from them enhances their own reputation standing in jail etc.
