For a second I thought you were kidding, but the FBI did capture him in Santa Monica, CA. I figured he was either overseas or six feet under by now.

Interesting.

Having grown up in the 1970s and 80s outside of Boston, I've always tried to keep track of this little situation. He's a man who really damaged a huge number of lives in that area, as well as helping to fuel the Irish conflict by turning Heroin into guns.

I'm guessing some people will be giving (some of) their neighbors a second glance this weekend, and wondering if they are living under an assumed alias!

First Osama, now Whitey. We're on a roll.

He's facing the death penalty and I'll bet he dies in prison first.

I never thought I'd see Whitey get bagged.
