The FBI has been instructed to
pay $8.5 million to the families of James Bulger's murdered
victims,
Michael Donahue and Edward Halloran. Judge William G.
Young, "Ruled that the FBI was responsible for the slayings
because of the agency's negligent handling of Bulger."
The FBI is very good at
leaving innocent members of the public to face murder attempts
and actual slayings. Their criminal negligence is now world
famous and very embarrassing. I don't know how they sleep at
night. It is a very callous, heartless, immoral, treacherous
agency, more interested in fame than crime fighting.

Families of 'Whitey' Bulger
victims win nearly $8.5m in suit
May 1, 2009 06:21 PM - A federal
judge today ordered the US government to pay a total of nearly
$8.5 million to the families of two men who were gunned down on
Boston's waterfront in 1982 by longtime FBI informant James
"Whitey" Bulger.
In a ruling from the bench, US
District Judge William G. Young said it was "next to
inconceivable that our government, through negligence,
inattention, self-interested hubris and outright corruption''
could cause the horrific slayings of Michael Donahue and Edward
"Brian" Halloran...
Today's award is the second
judgment the government has been ordered to pay to the family of
Bulger victims. In September 2006, a judge found the FBI's
mishandling of Bulger and Flemmi caused the 1984 murder of
Quincy fisherman John McIntyre and ordered the government to pay
$3.1 million to McIntyre's mother and brother. An appeals court
upheld the award and the government recently paid the judgment,
according to Christie, who also represented the McIntyres.
