US mob boss Bulger found guilty

Never personally heard of this guy but it would appear he is a bad egg (to say the least).

Quote:

James "Whitey" Bulger, one of America's most notorious underworld bosses, has been convicted of nearly a dozen murders, racketeering and conspiracy.
The 83-year-old terrorised an Irish-Catholic neighbourhood of Boston in the 1970s and '80s as leader of the Winter Hill Gang.
He betrayed no emotion upon hearing the verdict after a two-month trial.

I'd not heard of him until on the radio earlier, and he's got a name that most Brits would instantly recognise.

Finally. Now they need to go after his brother Billy, the really evil Bulger.

In related news, the entire jury has been found dead of an apparent suicide. Each shot 15 times in the back. :-?

If you can view this in the UK, and have about 45 minutes, it's a pretty good documentary. I've seen it a few times on one of the "History" channels here in the States.

Also if you want to see the Hollywood-ized version, watch The Departed.
