Infamous Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger was killed Tuesday, shortly after being transferred to a federal prison in West Virginia, a law enforcement source told The Post.

89 years old, and someone shanked him in prison.

You live by the sword you die by the sword.

Seeing details on this now. Apparently he got beaten with a lock in a sock. Sounds like some Dr. Suess sh^t. "Crossing mfers in prison might get you murdered with a lock in a sock."

And the dude tried to take his eyeballs, but it sounds like he wasn't entirely successful with that. Isn't that some sh^t with some sorta gangsta meaning when they take your eyes out?

Lock in a sock ain't nothing to play with

Apparently he lived by a lock in a sock not a sword.

ESPECIALLY for prison. Few guys manage such a long life in those conditions, not to mention that his was cut short. Whitey must've had genetics for longevity.

Wonder what the boys on his block are going to think of a guy that shanks a 90 year old man.

He’s probably had a green light on him for a looooong long time

he was only arrested in 2011, he was on hiding in cali all those years

my mother waited tables for him in boston once or twic when she had just gotten out of college, her friend used to serve him and his friends drinks and dinner regularly.

supposedly he was very nice to staff, but everybody in town knew exactly who he was and to tread extremely lightly. there are still bodies out in the reeds outside of town. just trust me on that. irish gangsters used to run the southern parts of the city and dorchester, and the italians ran the north end. now the north end is hysterically rich, and south boston is basically gentrified as well although there are a few stragglers.

An ex-Mafia hitman who’s being eyed as the prime suspect in the fatal beatdown of James “Whitey” Bulger can guarantee his status as a boss behind bars — if he really was behind the infamous Boston gangster’s death.
Fotios “Freddy” Geas is suspected of rubbing out Bulger, 89, on Tuesday morning — hours after the aging mobster was transferred to Hazelton federal penitentiary in West Virginia.
“He’s a rich man now. He’ll run any prison he’s in,” a law enforcement source told MassLive.com.

Geas has led a life of crime, with a rap sheet dating back to his teens. He and his brother Ty were convicted of killing Bruno, a Genovese capo, “cowboy style” in 2003.
Geas hired the hitman in Bruno’s murder — but shot Westerman twice in the head himself after luring him to a home in Agawam for a purported home invasion.
The Geas brothers served as hitmen for Anthony Arillotta, who became a made man in the Mafia in 2003 but then flipped by becoming an FBI informant after he and the two men were charged in Bruno’s murder.

this was an inside job. they knew damn well whitey bulger would get murdered the second he was exposed to a larger population. he's whitey f#cking bulger, FFS. he ratted out every major crime boss in boston and probably new york. and the ones he didn't rat on probably had family members killed, or bit it themselves.

Effin brilliant. I think I woke up my missus by laughing.
