Summary:
One of America's most infamous criminals was recently killed a day after he was transferred to a higher security prison. "Whitey" was sentenced to a double life sentence plus five years for the 31 counts of crimes. These include money laundering, drug dealing, illegal weapon possessions, and being culpable for 11 murders. Most of the public seem to be content with his death, with comments such as "he shouldnt have lived as long as he should have."

Analysis:

This article was written this morning on October 30, 2018 which is very up to date on the information being released. I had absolutely no prior knowledge about anything this article covers. However, after reading it I feel somewhat informed about who James Bulgar was and his story as one of America's most infamous criminals. I can connect this topic to the deaths of other major criminals, or bad influential people to history, such as Hitler, Santa Anna, etc. I can connect this to those people in history because even though all of these people were hated by most of the public, and were wished to be dead already, they still get a lot of recognition even if it is bad.

  1. I don't think I could ever say something like "he shouldn't have lived as long as he did." Sure, he was a horrible person and made his mistakes, but if he died in an unjust manner, then we shouldn't be so quick to say things in the aftermath.

  2. Zoe Williams: This raises the highly debated question of whether death or having to live in prisons with your crimes is a worse punishment.
