Whitey Bulger
Killers Tried to Remove His Tongue
... Victim's Fam Says Justice was Served

Whitey Bulger was targeted for a mob hit and the killers did what mob killers do with so-called "rats" -- they try to cut out their tongue and gouge their eyes out.

Sources at the USP Hazelton prison in West Virginia tell TMZ, Bulger was killed in his cell at around 6 AM Tuesday, NOT in a common area as first reported. We're told 4 inmates walked into the cell where Whitey was sitting in his wheelchair.

They brutally beat him with a lock in a sock and used a shiv to try and gouge his eyes out. They also attempted to cut out his tongue. We're told there was a lot of blood in Bulger's mouth but we don't know if the tongue was actually removed.

We're told surveillance cameras captured the 4 inmates walking into Bulger's cell and walking out with their clothes clearly bloodied. The attack was not caught on video.

We're told the killers went back to their cells, changed out of their bloody clothes and then walked back to Bulger's cell with a mop and a bucket to clean up the mess.

1. And the guard in the bubble was doing WHAT while this happened?

That's a disgrace. The Warden on down needs to account for this. Someone (a lot of someones) need to be fired.

The fact that it was on camera - and those guys KNEW it was on camera (the inmates know exactly where the camera's are). This means that they knew they could do this even with the camera on them. They knew the guards weren't going to stop them??

A disgrace.

5. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for anyone in an official capacity to be held accountable...

...To the contrary, this could very well be a case where everyone from the Warden on UP was complicit. For Bulger to be hit less than 24 hours after his transfer to USP Hazelton means that someone at BOP dropped the ball concerning his threat assessment and that doesn't happen. Remember, Bulger made the FBI look bad by staying on the lam and hiding in relatively plain sight for 16 years and DOJ (which controls both the FBI and BOP) doesn't like to be made to look like clowns.

Payback can indeed be a bitch.

17. I agree. It's obvious they were in on it. nt

2. Bulger, by being a mobster at the same time he was informing for the FBI...

...played both ends against the middle for decades and knew what the possible (probable) consequences of his actions could be. Although "omerta" (the code of silence) is largely ignored by younger crooks these days, there are still some old-school gangsters who hold fast to the law of the streets and the rules of the game. As the saying goes, "snitches get stitches" and Bulger, who lived by the sword, died by the sword.

3. 89 years... he made it pretty far down the road of life.

Wonder why they moved him so much towards his final days ?

4. Manafort, Trump or any of these stooges

would be quite a prize on the cellblock

[ADX]

6. Manafort, Trump, or any of the other stooges...

...would almost certainly never find themselves in a maximum-security United States Penitentiary (USP); they'd do their time at a low or medium-security Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), like Bernie Madoff is.

9. Trump will have to go to maximum security because of his current occupation

The lad has stirred up so much crap in the two years he's had this job, you know someone is going to try to kill him.

Madoff is a different story: a lot of people think all his victims were rich, and prisoners would be okay with rich people getting ripped off.

[ADX]

12. The designation "maximum security"...

...refers to the level of security employed to keep prisoners from escaping; it is NOT indicative of the level of protection afforded prisoners. The individuals incarcerated at maximum-security facilities are actually considered to be higher-risk threats to staff and other prisoners.

7. I only have one question

Who gave the orders for him to be moved to the prison where he was killed?

They're all there for doing worse to others.
Fuck them all. I hope they send the Con gang there.

[MelissaB]

8. Yeah, I have that same question.

[cwydro]

10. I'm not going to cheer on prison violence.

Nope. Just not.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. This is not justice.

[Drahthaardogs]

15. You're right.

Justice would have been executing this bastard in 1985. This was too little too late.

[Jake Stern]

13. What kind of sick fuck finds joy in this?

Reading the comments under articles about this make me want to vomit.

[Drahthaardogs]

16. The kind who find the fact that this monster strangled a teenaged girl to death

Repulsive. Fuck him

[Raine]

14. I have no sympathy for him but

it's disturbing that this was ALLOWED and probably encouraged to happen.
