The Brothers Bulger (279-332)

SUMMARY

Seven weeks after Billy's election, on December 23, 1994, Whitey was gone for good and the cops didn't want to believe it. Everyone of Whitey's old pals was either in jail at the time or died after being arrested. While Whitey was missing, Billy was writing his autobiography titled "While the Music Lasts". In this book, he explains his past and talks about Whitey. As expected, Billy lost the campaign to Loftcus. This was the first time a Bulger was defeated and last time any would run for any elective office again. Randomly stated and quite surprisingly, Whitey loves dogs to the point of crying for them. When he seen a man put down a puppy by shooting it, he wept. Whitey also kept dog treats in his car for any strays. A corrupt man has a sensitive spot... wasn't expected. Whitey also loves his brother; thats obvious. He'd always threaten people for Billy even though Billy was against that. Although what Whitey did for Billy was immoral, it still showed a lot of love. It's like a man robbing a bank to pay for his dying daughter. There were many people that called themselves the "anti-Bulgers". They'd constantly write about the brothers negatively. With all the facts in the media and other causes, Whitey hid from the world. On September 3, 2009, Whitey turned eighty and to this day, Whitey Bulger is still missing. It is believed Billy Bulger sends his brother money, but the truth is nobody really knows.


QUOTATION

"Gamel got the distinct impression that Billy did not want to be talking to the FBI. Gamel told Billy that if he did hear from Whitey, he should urge Whitey to call Gamel, so that a surrender could be arranged.
'I'll consider it,' said Billy.
Later that month Billy and Whitey did speak, on the phone, at Eddie Phillips' house. Gamel did not recieve a call from Billy" (Carr 281).


RESPONSE

In this quote, we have FBI agent, John Gamel discussing with Billy Bulger on Whitey. Gamel wants Billy to basically persuade Whitey to surrender to the FBI. When Billy says "I'll consider it," I knew that Billy would just tell Whitey that Gamel wants him to give himself in. Or, its possible that Whitey just told Billy he won't do such a thing. That remains a mystery, however either way, I feel Billy showed affection towards Whitey. He wanted to help Whitey in either case. Gamel not recieving a call was predictable. I mean come on... its Whitey Bulger!
