The Assassination of Howie Carr
Whitey Bulger's former right hand man, Kevin Weeks, will be on "60 Minutes" this Sunday discussing his career with the Bulger crime syndicate. WBZ (Channel 4-Boston) has a sneak preview of his interview with Ed Bradley, in which he talks about two alleged plots to take out Boston Herald columnist, and WRKO talk show host, Howie Carr.
The other plot allegedly involved filling a basketball with C-4. Ouch, that would leave a mark.
One of the clips ends with Howie calling bullshit on Weeks' story, saying he wouldn't have had the stones to pull the trigger.
Good stuff.
I was down at his house one morning, about 5:30 in the morning, across the street in a cemetery with a rifle, waiting for him to come out. And ... he came out about ... between 7:15 and 7:30. And ... he had his daughter with him. I assumed it was his daughter, a young girl, and he was holding her by the hand, walking to his car. So, I had to pass on it.
