- Ex-Mobster and henchman of White Bulger, Kevin Weeks joins Emily Rooney in Greater Boston to talk about his new book, “Brutal: The Untold Story of My Life Inside Whitey Bulger’s Irish Mob.”
The two discuss his version of the events that happened within the Irish Mob and both the media and the public’s response to his retelling of the story.
Life long Boston resident . This isn’t the sopranos . This guy is a serious badass . Believe it .
Same mob stuff that was depicted in Sopranos, no different.
@@djshortsleeve9132I think they meant that this isnt a 'story' its very real and the victims were very real people.
I read his book and it's a great read one of the best true crime books I've ever read!
@@bencotton9414does he talk about the murders in detail?
I always thought Johnny Depp's performance as Whitey Bulger was the best of his career. "Black Mass" is a very underrated movie.
how is it rated?
I thought Edward Scissornutz was.
Its intense for sure
It was entertaining but it was not even close to realistic. It was way too much like a comic book villain. Those who knew him said he didn't talk like that at all.
Watching it right now 🔥
This dude had a small killing house in a quiet, suburban, Boston neighborhood that they called the "haunty." He was the one who most times cut up bodies into manageable pieces. And you can't tell me he never killed anyone.
I love to romanticize mob figures as much as the next guy but it’s a fucking joke that he’s out on the streets. Absolutely did so many terrible things
At least he’s giving proceeds to the victims families. Sammy never did anything like that.
It was in southie t I'm pretty sure it was flemys mom's old house fucked up. I'm pretty sure it was right next to billy bulgers house.
He seems so calm the way he talks. He was one tough guy in his prime.
Got here because of Dana white lol anyone !?
I believe you. Joe Rogan said early in Dana's career he had to move because of mafia threats on him and his boxing club.
Yea Dana white called delta and was on the first flight outta Boston wit his scary ass lol
@@millzworld yep don't blame him
Fetti.huh wat color
@@davidfrazier4446 what leave me alone if you can't speak English
If you believe that this man didn’t killed nobody, you are in wrong world. Their is no way he was on that level without make his bones
Hell yeah I mean how else would someone like whitey prove that he can be trusted in that life? I think commiting murder would be up there on a man that can be trusted
isnt murder illegal in the u.s.?
Of course he killed and deposed of a few bodies
He didn’t kill anyone. He watched his boss and friends kill people. He’s innocent bystander
@@donaldvonglitchenberger4108haha. Innocent? He's a co-conspirator
It's not believable that Weeks did NOT kill anybody himself...
He's credited for committing/participating in 5 murders which he served 5 years for
+chris sickestshit i did 5 years for non violent crimes
...
even if he never pulled a trigger being involved in them helping with the bodies and whatnot he is just as bad
5"47- of course he is going to deny it but I agree. It is hard to believe he never killed anyone. He probably did, like beat the shit of out someone, but Flemmi and Martorano and even Whitey were the straight out killers.
I wish they did interviews like this now.
So classy, so intelligent.
And blessedly quiet both sonically and visually.
Now it's all noise, noise, noise in all it's forms.
The fact that this thing is free and walking the streets says everything you need to know about this country and its government.
John martorano confessed to 20 murders. He did 12 years for it. A little over 7 months for each murder.
No kidding !!!
The government is the biggest gangster. They run the rackets now. Back when the mob ran everything things were better for the neighborhood we policed our own. Now the government fucks us every which way
Great interview, this lady brings it.
When it comes to media vs Weeks, I'll believe the guy who's story ends with "and here's where we buried the bodies" and lo and behold, the bodies were there
like him or not kevin is very well spoken in all of his interviews
Dancing Spiderman insightful.
@@DancingSpiderman I would pay to see you say that to Kevin Weekes' face so I could watch what would happen.
yeah he's really allegorical
@@emt5330 screw him
Man speaks English all of a sudden he's fuckin Einstein is america that retarded ?
I'm surprised Ray Liotta isn't playing this guy in movie.
Rainbow Project Jesse Plemons- Todd from Breaking Bad plays him in the upcoming movie
+Rainbow Project Too old
+Rainbow Project....fucking good cast mate. Black Mass had Kevin Bacon in as a fictional character so why not Liotta? He's played so many gangsters too
Jesse Plemons did fantastic
Someone mentioned Ray Liotta being to old and you may be right but I can totally see why RainbowProject would think he'd be good. He's so smooth in those roles and if he/she is anything like I am-my mind doesn't let him age. He'll forever be the guy (literally) sweating to pick his brother up from the hospital, seeing helicopters the whole time. He's eternally Henry circa late 70s
What is more than a little disturbing, is how could you distinguish this guy from a normal guy you'd meet everyday? Now, I am certain there would be "clues" after a while once you got to know him but, it just shows that we often don't know what someone is capable of.
+dnsmithnc Kevin Weeks is older and wiser now and when this was recorded he already had served his time, testified, and been through all this....BUT, you'd be truly surprised as to the character of the average organized criminal back then.....since then the gov't has decimated most italian and irish OC groups that more and more street gangs have taken over most of the opportunities except for bookmaking(gambling) and loansharking....a lot of guys can be quite likeable and loveable EXCEPT when you cross them or end up in debt to them
+El Leeway exactly Kevin's been out of the game since 96!!!!!!!granted he didn't do as much time as he should of but if he's giving back in any way shape or form let him
You will find when meeting these people unless you are talking money ,they do not talk to you and with good reason. You have to be intoduced by a made man as our friend.
Aside from the murdering and dismembering I'm sure he was actually a pretty nice guy.
dnsmithnc black mass movie
Kevin is such a well spoken young man. His life could have taken so many different paths.
His brother went to Harvard....
@Johann Albrecht it's a subjective term. The comment was made by a "larry". I don't know anyone under 70 named larry

@@thomasjdm7388 One of my best friends is named Larry. Worked with a few also, and knew another Larry. I think your comment may have been satire tho.
@Thomas JDM his brother went to Harvard. So what!! Doesn’t change the fact that this tubby clown is a gigantic POS…and a dyed in the wool criminal!! And a rat to boot!!
It's sad that these scumbags are making money from being criminals
The government is the biggest criminals. The mob kept everything in line for the most part. Things were different and alot of people liked it back then. Now the government runs all the rackets
in the old mob days ,real gangsters didn't write books or spill everything in interviews , blame the media , for glorifying that life, people adore these gangsters till one of their family members is among the buried
Joe Bananas?
People love to hear about gangsters and pop like they kno about that life, until police get involved...then it's off to Hollywood
Yeah anyone speaking out is basically an informant ✌️
Successful mobsters didn't need to write books, what's more, they probably knew the price to pay for doing something like that.
How about joe valachi? Valachi papers.
It's not believable that this guy didn't kill anybody. Should be behind bars for the rest of his life. Another example of the dysfunctional nature of the US criminal justice system.
well, he told ed bradley he shot and stabbed people, so...
@@plasticweaponI can say I stabbed and killed People. Without proof it means nothing
I would not believe for a minute that week's killed no one.
Holy crap! He seems like such a calm, nice man. I suppose if he was reaching for you with intent to harm, he may appear scary.
Is it Joe Pesci?
This criminal now gets to put out a book about his crime. Only in America. Anywhere else this guy would never get to make money on a book about his crime. He would be put to death. In America, crime is the best paying job.
in most countries crime is best paying job...in other countries he'd get more time for littering cuz they're so harsh
Was it worth the time? you sound like a jealous crybaby lmao
Was it worth the time? You're a sad pathetic being to talk like that. I truly feel sorry for you
Was it worth the time? You almost done throwing your tantrum? I'm sorry you had such an awful childhood that left you so bitter
Was it worth the time?- What is your obsession with everyone's mothers? In your eyes it is not morally acceptable to write a book but it is acceptable to be a racist rapist? Also not quite sure how you are getting in contact with any of these people's mums, best to keep your fantasies private for future reference
After watching Black Mass several times on HBO, I wince every time someone uses the "Whitey" nickname. Dunno how historically accurate of a film it is, but it's riveting as hell. (Plus -- Sherlock with a Boston accent. Everyone wins!)
The thing I’ll never understand is apparently it’s ok at certain times to rat and then others it’s not. I’ll give you an example. The arrest of Vito Genovese for drug trafficking. Luciano and Gambino wanted him out of the way so they set him up. Nobody considers that ratting though.
No respect for family and friends. Loyalty and honor are hard to come by.
"you're not worried about getting whacked" wow straight up. great interviewer!
loyalty in the underworld is a punchline.
What’s worse he’s not in jail for life or he got a book deal. I can’t decide
Jail for life for what?
Murda
I get a murdery vibe off this guy.
How
Maybe because he murdered a bunch of people.
The man has lived a hardcore life.
With the number of men they had . They achieved a lot in the underworld.
.. hes a rat. so he achieved nothing.
WT Hendrix he’s a rat bastard that gets no respect! It doesn’t take much to pull a trigger. Jeff weeks achieved nothing. He’s a loser.
HES A FUCKIN RAT.
One more thing..................little brother Billy Bulger knew exactly where his brother was the whole 16 yrs he was on the run. How was Whitey able to have so much money with him when he was arrested??? How was he able to be on the run for so long???? Pleading the 5th in court about his brothers whereabouts????? Not knowing about the Winter Hill Gang and the criminal activity his brother was into for most of his life, but yet Whitey served time in Alcatraz for armed robbery (I think it was??) He didn't have any idea about that prison stint?????????.....................but yet he 's smart enough to become Senate President and President of UMASS Boston??? Come on.............
Proof ??? I think Billy may have TALKED to him but I doubt he knew where he was. Whitey would never tell him and put him in that position. Remember, he was an elected official.
OH ......AND THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL. You're pretty funny or pretty naive. Little brother Billy was and is dummer than a fox. The Irish loyalty runs deep even today. They're both in the shit deeper than anyone realizes, Billy was just smart enough to not get caught. Most of the witnesses are dead and the government isn't going after the little brother now that they have the BIG CHEESE behind bars.
zl1vette427 He was an elected official?!
When does that stop anyone from being a class A d-bag? They're the worst of them all.
@@dublintoo did Billy shit in your pancakes or something?
Excellent interview, she is a great interviewer.
If anyone has not read his book "Brutal" please read it!!!! It's brilliant! And offered so much more insight into that life and Bulger himself!
This man should be the least "guilty" rat in the history of organised crime! You can't criticise him for giving up a rat!!!
And at 3:42 - "he approached us"...I believe him because even Michael Franzese said the biggest misconception of the Mafia and organised crime is that people think they sit around all day coming up with ways to commit crimes and take advantage of people! But even he said "people came to us" because he said that those approaching the Mob for help knew the Mob wouldn't rat them out to the cops or try and do them over and would put up cash if need be...
And he made no excuses or bones about what he did at 6:10 - "I helped to bury them..." he seems honest and forthcoming and he even mentions here that he donated proceeds of his book sales to the victims' families and even though obviously it doesn't make up for those lost loved ones, he didn't need to give those families anything if he didn't really want to!
And at 9:33 - this gang was SO DOMINANT during their reign that Bulger got bored and decided to kill this journalist...hence "Jim Bulger decided to make him a hobby..." and they had a weekly routine of going to their safehouses where they kept their guns to clean them and keep them in good condition...
And even though Black Mass wasn't factually accurate, Johnny Depp SHOULD'VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR!!!!
Pretty sharp guy, too bad he made the decisions he did
Kevin, you own this
The face only a mother could love.

shame on those that buy the book and I hope the state is getting their money back for his 5yrs as public charge!!!!
One of the best books ive read, i could hardly put it down and read it front to back in 3 days. On average i read a book a week so when i say this is a easy to read page turner i really mean it. Do yourself a favour and get this book, you wont regret it. Btw i read this book before i saw black mass the film which i also thought was a shit hot film.
A good book indeed, I have a signed copy and he wrote: Rich, always sit in the back seat!
She is a terrible interviewer
I disagree
TheSwoleBroscientist simpin ain't easy
Your not wrong she was not very good
She's a very good interviewer. I wish we had more like her nowadays. I love that set too. It never calls attention to itself; it lets the people be front and center. Modern-day offerings are poor in comparison.
@@13ivanogre13 she sucks
Kevin didn't kill anybody,hahahahaha
Worried about getting wacked! Lol
He made Dana White an offer he couldn't refuse
Sometimes these people like Kevin get caught up in Mafia dealings by accident and it's no way out but go along with it.
Kevin didn’t get involved by accident
Rats on rats on rats
Decent interview overall but she could have done a bit more back research, particularly about his upbringing. Around 8:00 she begins to talk to Kevin about how he had "such a normal upbringing" - but the first chapter of his book is devoted to detailing how his upbringing was abnormal - his father would beat his children regularly in order to teach them to fight and toughen them up, to discipline them, and his neighborhood encouraged settling scores via street brawls, which were regularly observed by parents and friends. I am not sure if this qualifies as normal.
SOSdoesnotknow Depends where you grow up.
BIRISHPM regardless of personal experiences the man himself said that his father was abnormally violent with his children, so he would disagree with her statement
She blew it on that one and that's a major mistake, not reading the book.
She always gets a smart remark in before her next question
what I don't believe is that Whitey Bulger would have talked to his crew the way that he talked to them in the movie because yeah he's a killer but so where they and you can't tell me that you don't have to walk on eggshells when your face to face with a straight-up killer and they all were so I don't think that any of them would have taken that kind of lip even from Whitey
You are wrong, I'd see why a civilian would think so, but if you knock of whitey back then your. Mother brother sister etc etc all will die slowly, because if you cut the snakes head off many people lose out on alot of meals, ya get me.
There's more to business than just being the toughest. Foresight, knowing the angles, having the plans...that's why you become the leader. The rest of them needed him to make money. It's how any organization operates. They could all be scary killers but without a boss, they'd be nothing. So, if the boss says something, you better believe they'd listen.
Don't forget, Connely was Bulger's connection. Bulger held all the chips.
(Cowaberated) Yes I am from Boston also.
I can't believe this dude threatened Dana white and made him leave southie I have a lot of respect for Dana and how he's help build up the ufc glad he left so Boston or he probably wouldn't lived long I. Can't imagine how a few people can cripple a neighborhood
I can believe this dude threatened Dana White and made him leave Southie
I can't believe Dana White pays fighters who make him millions chump change like 10-12000 a fight. That's as corrupt as this guy. F Dana White
His eyes 👀 are a window into his evil soul ......dude is straight up crazy .
Oh so you're a psychologist then? STFU, you're just an NPC who obsessively watches all kinds of media.
What year was this interview done, please? I cant find Kev to talk to him.
Hes hard to find intentionally. If he wanted to talk to you or you knew him actually you would likely be able to get in touch with him. Im assuming you dont know him - dont seek these people out, whether 'active' or 'not active'. These guys, its like sharks. either you, too, are a shark, or youre prey. To sharks everything else, and often even then other sharks are prey.
He only cut off the hands and feet and pulled the teeth from the victims
Culinary school didn't work out and he had all those knives...
No flemmi.was the dentist
@@13ivanogre13 this comment deaded me
Kevin was and still is a solid guy he should've been the 1 that took over the Irish mob
I wouldn’t believe a thing he says. Of course he’s going to omit information that would jeopardize his freedom. He worked with the police to snitch on other people to protect himself. He could have easily have agreed to not mention corrupt officers that he had dirt on as well.
So you're mad he outted corrupt cop? Shouldn't you want that?
I think Howie's versions are probably correct here.
Remember Kevin Weeks wants to return to some semblance of "normal life" according to his own words.
Would you tell all even if given your freedom.
Boston accent, the only decent yank accent that’s pleasant to listen to
when was this interview taken?
Why was the interviewer trying to establish credibility from this guy who was actually there ?
how you put your boys in a cage
ALL I WILL SAY IS AT LEAST MR WEEKS IS TRYING TO CHANGE HIS LIFE AND I BELIEVE IS GENUINEY REMOURSEFULL ABOUT HIS PAST AND HE PROVES THAT BY GIVING THE VICTIMS 50 PERCENT OF HIS PROFITS FROM HIS BOOK I THINK HES A GENUINLY TORTURED SOUL KEVIN YOU HAVE MY RESPECT IM HALF IRISH MY MOTHER IS FROM DUBLIN I THINK JIMMY DIDNT DESERVE TO BE BEATEN TO DEATH I DONT THINK ANYONE DESRVES THAT BUT WE CANT REWIND HISTORY ALL THE BEST TO YOU KEVIN GODBLESS
WE CAN READ AND SEE YOUR COMMENT ASSHOLE just as much if you would’ve typed like a normal person!
Bulger deserved everything he got.
Well I'm never sure about what brought these Guy's to be involved in causing so much pain for so little gain and if he has changed his ways now ? But what I do know is I hate bullies and always hope they receive the bad karma they deserve in return and in all honesty I have made mistakes but to repeatedly continue to make others suffer without a care I couldn't understand and no doubt he will get whatever he deserves coming right back at him and for that I can't say I have any sympathy for the Guy ✌️
"Former mobster" Thats a good one! Once a mobster always a mobster
50% proceeds! go Kevin! dude has balls of STEEL TO DO everything he did years ago with Bulger, and NOW telling these stories... respect.
Yu look in his eyes bro he’s soulless it’s crazy.
Emily Rooney, the lady giving this interview, should know a thing or two about how to interview someone seeing as how she was the station manager of WCVB tv channel 5 in Boston for a number of years and she is the daughter of the late, great Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes tv show on Sunday nights. I personally thought this interview was great. Kevin Weeks, tho he is an accomplice to many murders, I believe has told the truth about everything. I do think however, there are things that he knows that haven't come out and probably will go with him to the grave.
+dublintoo I agree with you that Kevin Weeks probably still knows more than he has selectively chosen to divulge about crimes he committed or was witness to with James "Whitey" Bulger.
And you are also absolutely correct Emily Rooney is the daughter of the late, legendary CBS News commentator and journalist Andy Rooney, whose "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney" segment closed the iconic "60 Minutes " program for 33 years (1978-2001).
As for the professional credentials of Emily Rooney, she was NOT the station manager of WCVB-TV (Channel 5) in Boston, but the news director (for three years, 1990-93), and before that the assistant news director 11 years (1979-90). Miss Rooney's tenure at WCVB coincided with that station's position as having the most-watched evening newscasts in the Boston viewing area most of that time, broadcasts helmed by the popular husband & wife anchor team of Chet Curtis & Natalie Jacobson (1976-2001). Miss Rooney then went on to be the executive producer of ABC News' "World News Tonight" with the late Peter Jennings for a year (1993) before becoming director of political coverage and special events at the Fox network in New York for three years, just before returning to Boston and her current stints at WGBH Radio and TV. Although retired as host of the nightly "Greater Boston" program, Miss Rooney still hosts the weekly "Beat the Press" program, as well her own daily show on WGBH Radio.
I love her old school vibe. That's the way interviews USED to be done and I really miss it. Couldn't play today, too quiet.
Very disturbing all the posts here with "rat" and "snitch," as if divulging information about the brutal crimes of murderers is more dishonorable than the crimes themselves. To put this on a child-like schoolyard level--it's not "tattling" when the person(s) about whom one is telling is "in the wrong."
Also, I am disgusted with the romanticism (by Hollywood and people in general) of so-called "mobsters."T here is nothing funny or noble about the crimes committed by such lowlifes and the lives they lead. This tendency to romanticize organized crime reached its nadir with the television series "The Sopranos," a series I am happy to say I never watched, not even one episode. I had seen "The Godfather" films and Martin Scorsese's "Good Fellas," the latter which I think greatly contributed to this notion of mobsters being regarded "colorful" and their business "just another career choice."
I was curious to see the recently released film "Black Mass" because of its Boston connections, mainly to see the genuine locales shot in the film , as well how authentic were the performances of its lead actor, Johnny Depp, and supporting actor, Benedict Cumberbatch, in their portrayals of the notorious Bulger brothers (James"Whitey" and William "Billy," respectively) of South Boston. What I happily discovered is, for once, a film that doesn't wax comedic or romantic, but just shows the brutality of mobsters for what they really are. This is a break from the Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese oeuvres of "mob cinema." I also read online a comparison between the actual history of "Whitey" Bulger's criminal activities and those events portrayed in the film "Black Mass," and found there has been little distortion of the facts. While certainly not a documentary, this film directed by Scott Cooper is basically an honest depiction of events as they happened, with a small amount of artistic license allowed. I think the fact the screenplay is based upon the book and reporting of two "Boston Globe" reporters, and not the anecdotes of or books by any of the subjects themselves lends more credibility to the project.
If I was trying to dissuade a child from a life of crime, I wouldn't show him "Good Fellas" or let him watch episodes of "The Sopranos." Rather, I would allow that child (when old enough to understand, of course) to watch "Black Mass," which shows just how barbaric and brutal are the lives of those in the world of organized crime. Hopefully, after one viewing of "Black Mass," a young person would not ever wish to see any more films about mobsters and organized crime, such would be their revulsion about the subject.
you don't put another man in a cage for something you were a part of to shorten your time!
+gymnastix
if you'd seen the sopranos you'd know they don't romantice the lifestyle in any way
Tony Soprano is a Sociopathic piece of shit with a very dysfunctional family and no real friends
Still entertaining though
Goodfellas shows you several instances of brutal crimes (Joe Pecci charachter beats someone to dead with pistol and gets shot in the head) maybe not brutal enough for a you? how violent must a scene be before you deem it proper?
I'd advice you to finish Scorecese movies, and not stop watching halfway through. Most of the time it's all about how the easy road might seem glamorous but they turn out the be the dirtiest path and often if not allways lead to ruin and disaster.
Not Martin's fault most people are retards and can't see past the glamour. Then again Jon The Teflon Don was idolisted, just as Frank Costello and Al Capone were in real life.
So maybe Hollywood isn't responisble for romantiscing mobster?
Edit: Some Spelling, English isn't my mothertongue
+OFFICIAL863JLS LOL! Keep living in a dream world, cause they all do it.
+OFFICIAL863JLS your argument is that it would be ok to put someone else you shared crimes with provided the sentence isn't reduced?
gymnastix you know nothing about organized crime! These gangs were formed because of immigration. They were supposed to protect their own neighborhoods and ended up destroying it instead and killing themselves. Same with the bloods, crips and other organized gangs. Television didn’t have anything to do with the old mafia or organized gangs! Now, it’s all fake. A bunch of wannabe monsters with no rules or respect.
Holy moly this man scares me 😳
Year?
I love that Boston accent.
A mobster is now a celebrity?
This guy is a just an oversized Teddy Atlas.
Teddy from Bob's burgers lol
Lol
I think Kevin is telling the truth... He's not trying to escape blame or make himself seem like he's been misrepresented. He's taking responsibility for everything he did.
Enough said, Steve Flemmi said so !!
Goes to show: Bulger shouldve gone abroad..preferably somewhere with no extradition treaty. If he'd have enough to stay hidden all those years. To be busted by a pizza man from an Americas Most Wanted episode and be beaten to death in your wheelchair in a prison cell. Even IF he'd been found, he was in his 80s, he couldve fought extradition for the next ten years or so..an if you have money you can buy a local judge in some banana republic to drag his feet. Whats he care about U.S. court orders when he's making maybe 8ooo a year?
The mod fell apart becouse that oath they give to the family about no snitching never seems to matter. They all have Books and take the plea to rat eachother out. It's amazing 👏
This guy is at least honest and passing some of the profits to the crime victims. I read the book a while ago . It’s hard to believe what the true story is , but I doubt the people willingly sold the store , I seriously doubt the guy approached them to sell a profitable liquor and lottery store . He’s honest . There’s no turning back after a certain point.
Brutal is a great book
This lady is a good interviewer!
Human shyte gets to walk free after all the pain and suffering he caused. Disgusting.
At least he's giving a few bucks to the victims families and not just thinking about himself.
Gotta be the most boring interview with a mob enforcer EVER.
"Not worried about getting whacked yourself" that was an awkward end of an interview
Also "The book is brutal" yeesh
he seems like such a nice fella!
Oh yeah murderers are my fave! Super sweet

I know I'm beautiful😀 and like I said everyone is beautiful except people who exhibit a nasty rude soul such as yourself, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I don't base that on looks. It's a shame you're so focused on "ugly and cute" is, maybe you should work on your personality and make that more beautiful and spread positivity instead of being immature and shallow. Let's see what you look like so we can all judge you! I'm sure you look like David Beckham
Why is this guy not in a cage?
10:13 - shows how dominant these guys were to just decide to kill someone for just something to do...obviously Jim Bulger was driving the gang to do it and another story that shows how dominant and bored they were is that in Kevin's book "Brutal" he says they had weapons stashed in safehouses that they would go and take apart and clean to make sure they were working when the time came to use them...I like Kevin Weeks he makes no excuses for what he did and seems honest and remorseful for what he did...
that's kevin "two weeks"

Be carful my freind
A lot of armchair gangsters on here.. "rat.. looser..canary.. scumbag.." Sheeesh.. I would think half of the guys making those comments on here are part of the Winter Hill Gang on here..!

As a Native American Guido, I don't quite fit in because my favorite saying is bada bing bada boom, know what I'm saying?
There is no loyalty amog thief's and all that go's with it.
I’ve watched a lot of videos about whitey bulger (correct me if I’m wrong) but like he never snitched on his own people so I wouldn’t really call him a rat but what do I know 😂
This dude still walks the streets of Boston and nobody has stepped to him. Wonder why?
Probably because all those guys are either dead or in jail.
Why is this criminal not in prison? Corruption.
