Everyone except maybe his brother Billy is disappointed Whitey Bulger didn’t take the witness stand in his own defense. Still, the trial produced many memorable quotes and exchanges. Here are some of them:
Stevie Flemmi, nicknamed “Dr. Mengele” by Whitey for his joy in pulling out the teeth of his victims’ corpses, on his treatment at MCI-Walpole: “I would have liked the conditions to be more humane. I mean I’m a human being. I think I would like to have a chair.”
Johnny Martorano, when asked about the Winter Hill Gang hierarchy.
Prosecutor Fred Wyshak: “So it was a democracy, so to speak?”
Martorano: “So to speak.”
Bulger attorney Hank Brennan to informant Flemmi: “Quid pro quo? Is that just Latin for rat?”
Bulger lawyer Jay W. Carney cross-examining Kevin Weeks: “What would you do if (someone called you a rat)?”
Weeks: “Well, why don’t you call me outside when it’s just me and you and see what I do.”
Weeks: “I lied to my parents. I lied to my wife. I lie to my girlfriends.”
Carney: “What lies do you tell your wife?”
Weeks: “‘I’m not cheating.’”
Carney: “What lies do you tell your girlfriends?”
Weeks: “‘I’m not cheating.’”
Kevin Weeks on what the prosecutors called the “House of Horrors” at 799 East Third St.:
Weeks: “You know, I never liked the house after people getting killed it in anyways, so I was kind of relieved when I heard Stevie (Flemmi) was coming by with his stepdaughter.”
Carney: “Why were you relieved?”
Weeks: “You never know, it could have been my time.”
John Martorano: “We were up to our necks in murder.”
Extorted bookie Dick O’Brien on taking George Labate, one of his agents who wanted to quit, to visit Whitey:
“Mr. Bulger came over to him and said, ‘You’re going to go your own way?’ He said, ‘You know, we have a business besides bookmaking.’ Labate says, ‘What’s that?’ Mr. Bulger said, ‘Killing (expletives) like you.’”
Carney cross-examining Weeks about his sweetheart deal:
Carney: “You won against the system?”
Weeks: “What did I win? What did I win?”
Carney: “You won five years ...”
Weeks: “Five people are dead. Five people are dead.”
Carney: “How does that bother you?”
Weeks: “Because we killed people that were rats, and I had the two biggest rats right next to me. That’s why it ...”
Whitey Bulger: “You suck.”
Weeks: “(Expletive) you, OK?”
Whitey Bulger: “(Expletive) you, too.”
Flemmi on the creed of the Winter Hill Gang:
“In for a penny, in for a pound.”
Bulger: “Do what youse want with me!”
Vivencia Bellegarde banks on us
Howie Carr, 8/8/13
Look at it this way: Vivencia Bellegarde is only laying on the voodoo curses that Americans can’t be bothered laying on anymore.
Of course this is nothing more than what Gov. Deval Patrick would call an “anecdote.” She’s from Haiti, and as a newcomer to our land, it’s just part of her cultural heritage that she would, as the state trooper put it, “begin screaming that I was a ‘dumb motherbleeper’ for paying for food when she gets it for free.”
The trooper continued: “She repeatedly called me a racist and told me she was from Haiti and she was gonna ‘put voodoo on my white (expletive).’ ”
Talk about ingratitude. She ran a Boston Globe delivery truck off I-93 — after all the sniveling editorials and puff pieces they’ve written about the millions of Vivencia Bellegardes who have swarmed into this country when they realized that the old song is true.
Everything free in America.
Where’s the gratitude? The Globe has realized its dream, converting all the old working-class neighborhoods into non-working class neighborhoods, and this is the thanks they get — one of their drivers forced off the road by one of the beneficiaries of its immigration policies. As the trooper wrote, “She didn’t care about the guy she hit because he isn’t dead and all she cares about is smoking a cigarette.” You know, this is what celebrating diversity is all about — different sets of rules for citizens and for the layabouts who have moved here. For instance, Americans are only supposed to have one EBT card. Vivencia Bellegarde had three of them “with only one of them bearing her name.”
“I questioned her as to why she had other peoples’ EBT cards and she began screaming.”
It’s only a matter of time until Barack Obama announces that the state police “acted stupidly.”
Back to the narrative: “Sgt. Kenneth Foley entered the room to try to calm her down and convince her to complete booking and she immediately called him a racist and began screaming.”
Apparently Vivencia was extremely concerned about her 5-year-old child at home.
“She then shouted that she was ‘coming for all you white motherbleepers.’ I asked her to clarify what she meant by that and asked if she was threatening me or the other troopers’ lives and she refused to answer.”
I’m perplexed. If this is such a racist society, why doesn’t she go home to the socialist utopia of Haiti? No one’s forcing her to stay here, living on the arm, with no job, although somehow she manages to own a 2006 Cadillac, three EBT cards and God only knows how many other freebies from the “racists” who, unlike Vivencia and the millions like her, actually have to get up in the morning and go to work for a living.
Maybe under its new ownership, the Globe will write the truth about the likes of Vivencia Bellegarde. But don’t hold your breath.
