Johnny Depp did a good job of playing James "whitey" Bulger


Hello everyone, I was locked up in FCC Coleman USP-2, unit K-2 Cell 205. " Jim " I call him; You know him as James " whitey " Bulger , he is in Cell 232. from about January 2015 till I was release on Feb 22 2016, Jim and I talked about guns ( we are proud gun nuts and both former gun runners ), watched wild life nature and gangster flix every day. We watched " Goodfellas " (but not long cause he hates Henry Hill!) Casino, Blow, Donnie Brasco and our favourite Gangster movie... Public Enemies. John Dillinger was Jims hero growing up in the 30s. He likes Johnny Depp gangster flix just like me but did not want to meet Johnny Depp for the making of " Black Mass " because there are a lot of Hollywood changes to what really happened and did not want to endourse the film. We are both Ex-Military U.S. Air Force aircraft Engine Mechanics, that's how we first hit it off. Jim worked on Wright R-3350 duplex-cyclones on Boeing B-29 Bombers back in the 50s, Me on F-108/CFM-56-2 jet engines on KC-135R aerial refuelling tankers in the late 90s, then moved on to GE F-110 and P&W F-100s on F-16, F-15 fighter jets. He was a wild guy back then, me in my day, so we both would get in trouble. We would say " the old guy got to pay for what the young guy did ". He is Very intelligent and knowlegable on war/military history. He is more like a retired high school history teacher, but can change to Irish mob boss real quick.. He is very regretfull of the gangster life he lived and the loss of human life that goes with it. I am writing a book and trying to make a movie of my gun-running days and will include the year we got to know each other very well.

Whitey is in Cell 132..of K-2 unit and has always been in that cell in K-2 unit since coming from AZ fed prison, like Oct 2014, I was in cell 205 ( second Floor ), but just before I was released, the hole unit( except whitey in the first floor handicap cell )changed cells and I ended up in Cell 105 ( just bellow 205 ). that's why I made the mistake of saying "whitey" was in cell 232. Clearified that just in case " davedave11 " was going to use that to try and call be out on BS. Some people on this site don't believe me, OK
