Legendary Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger, who has been on the run for more than a decade, was arrested Wednesday in Santa Monica, multiple law enforcement sources told The Times. Bulger, 81, has been the subject of several books and was the inspiration for "The Departed," a 2006 Martin Scorsese film staring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson. Bulger fled Boston in late 1994 as federal agents were about to arrest him in connection with 21 killings, racketeering and other crimes that spanned the early 1970s to the mid-1980s. He was arrested by the FBI inside a building without incident, according to the sources, who asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak on the matter. The details surrounding his arrest were unclear Wednesday night. The FBI in Los Angeles declined to comment. The arrest came as the FBI launched a media campaign in 14 cities to help determine Bulger's whereabouts. The last credible sighting of Bulger was in London in 2002, the FBI said.
Well, well, well. The chase finally comes to an end. Hey, let face it. Whitey Bulger made Dr. Richard Kimble look like a fuckin pussy. The guy is on Americas Most Wanted every week and just disappears without a trace for 16 years. Its not like this asshole is in the prime of his career. Dude is fuckin 81 years old.
I was 13 waiting for my nuts to drop when this guy first went on the lamb. I never thought I'd see the day he was captured alive. I figured someone would find his skeleton one day at a mansion in Maui sitting at a table surrounded by mounds of money just chilling there like fuckin One Eyed Willie.
Ps. I would def Smush with the girl at the 34 second mark. I'm a sucker for exposed shoulders.
