Whitey Bulger Was In California This Whole Time?

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Authorities used a "ruse" to lure legendary mobster James "Whitey" Bulger out of his hideout -- an apartment in Santa Monica, California -- and arrest him, the FBI said Thursday.
Acting on a tip, members of the Fugitive Task Force staked out the home Wednesday and then arrested Bulger and his girlfriend, fellow fugitive Catherine Elizabeth Greig, who was inside the home, said FBI Special Agent Richard DesLauriers. Neither put up a fight, authorities said. After the arrests, members of the Fugitive Task Force, which included the FBI and police, searched the home. Agents found firearms and a large amount of cash, a law enforcement official told CNN. The end of the 16-year manhunt for one of the nation's most notorious gangsters -- charged with 19 counts of murder and a slew of other crimes -- came within days of the FBI launching a publicity campaign, airing ads about Greig in 14 markets across the country where the couple were known to have ties, authorities said. The arrests were a "direct result" of the media campaign, authorities said. A tip came in about 8 p.m. PT Tuesday (11 p.m. ET), DesLauriers said. Less than 24 hours later, Bulger -- one of the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted fugitives and the inspiration for the 2006 Martin Scorsese film, "The Departed" -- was in custody. On Wednesday, members of the task force began surveillance at the Santa Monica apartment and decided the tip was "fruitful after observing two individuals who appeared to resemble the two fugitives," DesLauriers said. "At approximately 5:45 Pacific Standard Time (8:45 p.m. ET), using a ruse, agents and other task force members lured Mr. Bulger out of his apartment," DesLauriers said. Authorities did not detail what the ruse was. The agents determined his identity and arrested him "without incident," then went in the house and arrested Greig, DesLauriers said.

So we thought Osama was holed up in some cave when really he was watching porn in some mansion in the middle of Pakistan and we thought Whitey was on the run throughout Europe when in reality he was chilling with his feet up in California? What the fuck, America?  Is this even a big deal for people? I feel like I'm a little biased cause I've read like 2 books on the guy so for me this is front page news. I'm actually debating if this is even blog worthy. Actually I don't give a fuck. You'll probably just skip over this post because it doesn't have a pair of tits and ass on it. There's a 80% chance I'm in the worst mood I've ever been in my entire life and I have no idea why. Just mad at the world.
