you don't know the situation.
you don't know the story.
Whitey was ruling New England, and apparently Santa Monica.
so you are the one who is not-knowing.
and PS: whitey was as bad as they say but one thing: he only targeted what are known as 'skumbags'.
please stop discussing Whitey. you need to respect his memory.
calling him a 'piece . o . . .wahtever' is the kind of thing that you shouldn't do.
you will cause yourself problems. He was more complex than you give him credit for. And he endured stuff that you wouldn't like to have to go through yourself.
I don't like him but I understand a lot more than you could even know.
and for someone who might really just be in witness protection . . . you might worry about talking ill of him. He had many many friends.
