James “Whitey’’ Bulger, the Boston gangster who eluded authorities for 16 years before being captured and convicted of participating in 11 murders in 2013, has died at a prison in West Virginia.
I can’t believe that many people will shed a tear for the 89 year old gangster/murderer/thief. I don’t think Bulger should have had any complaints. He lived 89 years, with the vast majority of that time was making other people’s lives miserable while he was living the good life.
He was a stone cold killer, a sadistic narcissistic heartless degenerate. On top of all of those uncomplimentary handles, he was also a RAT/FINK FBI informant. Whitey beat and killed numerous people for the exact the thing detested, being RAT.
Bulger, was found dead Tuesday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed in a news release, which said Bulger had arrived at the Hazelton Penitentiary in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, on Monday. It is not clear just who sent him to the Big Shamrock in the sky. Whomever his killer was, they should be congratulated for their accomplishment.
In his hay-day he was feared by most people for being a cold blooded killer, that would rather send a person to Boot Hill just for disagreeing with him or giving him a dirty look. In plain and and simple terms, he was a grade 1 scumbag.
Just like many celebs, famous or infamous, that get sent up, many times there is a price on their head or some inmate that is in for life with nothing to lose wants to get their name in the books for offing a celeb. On top of that, killing a celeb gives the killer some CREDS (credentials) that are important for survival in prison.
Bulger joins a long list of infamous criminals that finally had justice exacted on their sorry lives.
RANKER
For some criminals, the notoriety that comes with getting caught for murder, rape, and other horrific crimes is exactly what they want. The newspaper articles, biographies, and constant attention that are often attached to the world’s most evil crimes give certain criminals a sense of purpose, as if they are celebrities who will have their names remembered long after they’re dead. Unfortunately, being a notorious criminal also has plenty of downsides, especially when you’re heading to a prison filled with other hardened criminals. For a few famous criminals, fame is what leads to their untimely death within the walls of prison.
If you’ve been wondering “Who are the most famous criminals to be murdered in prison?” this list holds the answers. The men on this list have proved that maintaining a low profile in prison beats having a famous name, since being well known for their heinous crimes is what got many of these criminals a death sentence not ordered by the legal system.
From cannibalistic serial killers to pedophiles who ruined the lives of hundreds of children, the men on this list were murdered in prison by fellow inmates, whether it was due to their notoriety or personal issues.

In 2012, Michael Parr and Nathan Mann killed convicted child rapist Mitchell Harrison. The murder took place in Mann’s Frankland Prison cell in County Durham, England. Mann sliced Harrison’s neck with a makeshift knife made from a razor blade and a plastic utensil. After Harrion died, the pair stabbed him in the eye and cut open his stomach. They planned to remove Harrison’s liver and eat it, but told the court they couldn’t bring themselves to do it.
When asked why they killed Harrison, the pair simply shrugged their shoulders. A psychiatrist described Mann as “a remorseless, callous psychopath” who fanaticizes about cannibalism and is “one of the most dangerous men in the criminal justice system.”
