    • Quotes

      Self - Son of Victim Michael Donahue: The FBI - they haven't been on our side since the day they killed my father. It took them four and a half hours to come to my house to tell my mother whether my father was dead or alive. They covered up the murder of my father. Helped pretty much to set it up. It's shameful. It's shameful. I think the FBI is worse than the mafia. They're the most organized crime family on the planet, who can do whatever they want, change the laws when they want, and they're not to be screwed with, to be honest with you. We've seen that first hand.

    Democrats Enabled Criminal Whitey
    A good documentary showing the corruption of the Democrat Party, aligned with the corrupt Department of Justice and the corrupt FBI. There is truly a two-tiered justice system in America. Democrats get away with everything, while the Democrats use the FBI and the DOJ to prosecute their a political opponents , the Republicans, unjustly. It's sad that a community like Boston would glorify a total criminal like Whitey Bulger, and worship everything that he did, instead of identifying the true evil person that he was, and rightly prosecute him for every crime that he committed.
