Maybe it's a language translation thing?
Love = adore.
Woman = lady.

Perhaps, but we don't know where polyfarlino is from, what language s/he normally speaks and writes in, plus also there wasn't anything that jumped out as being grammatically suspicious. Just the substitutions of two synonyms.

Wim Kok eh? Well, may his soul finds whatever creature he was praying to. (if any)

Yeah, and TMZ had some other gruesome details too. I guess if you rat on the mob they never forget, even if you are 89 years old and in a wheelchair. IMO it's kind of suspicious that it happened the first day he was in this maximum security prison he was transferred to. So much for security. I guess rough jailhouse justice wins in the end.

When you snitch on the mob, you're never safe, not even when you're old and infirm. Here's some more info on Bulger's death:

James "Whitey" Bulger is dead. Trouble is, he lived longer than his victims. At least he died in prison. He didn't die a free man.

Are we not allowed to say good riddance in a thread like this?

I don't know if that would be appropriate.

While there may not be too much controversy regarding Mr. Bulger's demise, it may set a bad precedence for future passings that may split the membership (like with politicians).

Agreed. Best to keep things civil when it comes to the departed, dearly or otherwise.

[KNIGHT OF THE LAKE]

I completely understand that. Still maybe we should refrain from putting career criminals in here. I don’t think they deserve that kind of notation or rememberance. It’s not that Bulgers a famous person that is controversial. He’s a thug whose famous for being a thug. Grew up in Boston, he’s not well liked
