I wish you were right but Massachusetts had been controlled by the Bulger brothers and the FBI for 40 years until a few years ago.
They ran the Mafia out of there and most are still in prison. The Boston FBI arranged some murders and covered up others.
Read some of Howie Carr’s books. Whitey Bulger was the crime boss and his brother was the longtime Senate Speaker. They had more power than the Kennedys.
Even the mob would turn in someone who killed an 8 year old and blew the limbs off of several other children. This isn’t about thugs knocking off one another.
