Whitey Bulger Jr Research Paper

Did you know that unarmed black men are seven times more likely to die than white men? Racism is as old as human society itself. As long as human beings have been around, people have always seemed to have hated or feared people with a different skin color. Racism is just a part of the human nature. Trayvon Benjamin Martin was just 17 when he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, in Sanford, Florida on February 2012. The murder of Trayvon Martin affected many people. The death of Martin was just the first of several deaths where a white person killed a black innocent person. Since the deaths weren’t stopping the #BlackLivesMatter movement began.

At 12:30 A.M. on March 3, 1991, Tim and Melanie Singer, a married team of the California Highway Patrol, noticed a Hyundai speeding along the Foothill Freeway in northeastern L.A. The car belonged to Rodney Glen King, a native Californian who had recently been released from prison for threatening and assaulting a storeowner. Immediately, the Singers exited the highway, returned behind King’s vehicle, and began to pursue at speeds up to 117 mph. After nearly causing multiple accidents, King finally came to a stop outside Hansen Dam Park. Within seconds, Officers Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind, Theodore Briseno, Rolando Solano, and Sergeant Stacey Koon arrived in three LAPD cruisers

Particularly due to the age of the killers, the ferociousness of the crime and the age of the victim, the mass media reports allowed the public to get personally and emotionally involved in the case and have severe anger and resentment towards the children who murdered James Bulger. The public outcry was huge and, the decision by the politicians and press

Orenthal James Simpson, as known as O.J. O.J. was accused of robbing his own memorabilia back in a Las Vegas hotel room on the night of September 13, 2007. O.J. along with a group of men were accused of breaking into the hotel room. O.J. is a retired American Football player also known for being acquitted for the murders of his Ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and friend Ron Goldman back in 1995. (2007-2008 State of Nevada v. Orenthal James Simpson)

On his way to Selma, Alabama on March 3, 2017, for the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, Reverend Jesse Jackson delivered a message to the students at Montevallo High.

“Jackson promised to begin "a rainbow coalition" that would unite people across racial lines to advocate for better economic conditions for the poor.”(Johansen, Bruce E.). Jesse Louis Jackson was born on October 18, 1941, in Greenville, South Carolina. He is an civil rights activist, Baptist minister, and politician. Jackson joined Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference(SCLC), and took place in nonviolent protests against segregation full-time. Jesse Jackson formed the National Rainbow Coalition to advocate for equal rights for African Americans, other minorities, women, and LGBTQ. During Jesse Jackson’s life he fought for civil rights, founded the Rainbow/People United to Save Humanity organization, and broke barriers.

Jesse James was a well known gang leader, bank robber, and train robber. He was a member of the notorious gang named the James-Younger gang. Jesse James was born on September 5, 1847 in Clay County, Missouri. Jesse and his older brother Frank lost their father in 1849. The father, Reverend Robert James, abandoned his family and disappeared and was thought to go to the California gold fields.

Rod Blagojevich was at the height of his political career in 2008, he was seating in his second gubernatorial term as the Governor of Illinois. Before his was the Governor he was elected to the Illinois House of Representative in 1992 and then won the US House Seat for Illinois in 1996. All of this was nice for the ascetic view of his political resume, but behind the veil he was a “devious, cynical, crass and corrupt politician”. He wouldn’t for anything to get what he wanted and the people that he wanted in the seats around him. This view began all the way back in 1992 and it only picked up speed from there.

I personally believe that OJ Simpson killed Nicole and Goldman because there are enough evidences to point out that OJ Simpson did the crime. First of all, Simpson flee from the police and only guilty people would do that because if you know that you did not do anything illegal you’re going to be confident to face the police but Simpson did the opposite therefore that gave me a strong impression that he is guilty for doing the crime. He ran away to Ford Bronco and saying that he is going to commit suicide. Why would anyone try to commit suicide if they said they were innocent that they didn’t do the crime? Simpson tried committing suicide because he knows that he is not innocent and can’t bear the consequences of what he did wrong. They were

So why did 73% of white people believe that Simpson was guilty of the murder charges (Newport)? Because white people often weren’t looking at the case through a racial lens, they observed the case in a different way and were often overwhelmed by the amount of evidence the prosecution used in an attempt to prove that Simpson was guilty. Hairs consistent with those of Simpsons were found at the scene of the crime and on Ronald Goldman’s shirt. Also there had been blood at the scene of the crime that was consistent with the blood type of O.J. Simpson (which was a type of blood shared with .5% of the population). There had also been cuts on O.J.’s left hand in the day following the murder.

I believe that they did deserve the amount of years in jail, but I do think they should have made Jeffrey’s sentence longer since he did have a good size role in this. Why do I believe this is a

Now, almost 20 years later, after the divorce of James’ parents and the release of the boys, the James Bulger case is still as tragic and atrocious as it was when it happened.

I think we would all agree sixteen years is quite a long time. What if I were to tell you someone had been on the run from the law enforcement for that long before being caught? The name is James Joseph Bulger Jr. also known as Whitey Bulger. Whitey was one of the most notorious mob bosses in American history for his criminal reign in South Boston, Massachusetts. Whitey was a very violent criminal that had a rap sheet a mile long that included: murder, extortion, racketeering, and the list goes on. I am here to talk with you about the story of Whitey in his early years, his criminal reign in South Boston, and his life on the run from law enforcement for over a decade.

President Obama reduced the sentences of 46 non-violent drug offenders on Monday, July 13, as a part of his plan to decrease prison population and to change the policies that disproportionately affect African Americans and Latinos. This doubles the number of clemencies he has granted, with the total now at 89, the largest number since President Johnson’s 226.
