They finally got Whitey. Your tax dollars at work. End of a 16 year manhunt, worldwide. Lets see how much time they give an 81 year old man.

I grew up in the city of Boston during Whitey's reign and knowing how he ruled and devastated the community, I would support the death penalty - without hesitation. My guess, however, is that he'll get a life sentence - in a cell all by himself. The feds will have to keep him safe because he became a marked man when it was revealed he was also a confidential informant.

On a more intriguing thought, I'm wondering how many others in law enforcement are worried about what Whitey may say to implicate them....I don't believe, for a second, that John Connolly (FBI) was the only corrupt member of law enforcement that was complicit with Whitey's criminal activities.

You're right on Dan. I'll bet there is a flurry of retirement activity right about now.
