The Times article leaves out the details regarding his relationship with his younger brother, who was a long time state representative and then President of of the University of Massachusetts.
If my older brother was on the lam, I wouldn't rat him out, either.
And note this from the LA Times:
Using a "ruse," authorities lured the man out of the apartment, concluded it was Bulger and arrested him without incident. They arrested Greig inside the home. They provided no details about the ruse.Gosh, a "ruse"! What a novel way to apprehend a criminal suspect.
I'm guessing it went something like this, "Hello... UPS... What?... No, I need your signature."
"Arrested without incident"? Whatever. Seems like they wasted a good opportunity to suit up, bust down some doors, and send in a SWAT team for no good reason.
[p.s.: He lived a block or two from my mom in Santa Monica!]

You know that's the irony. That an arrest warrant for an allegedly violent murderer is served without incident using a "ruse", yet an old man (69 years old I think) was killed last week by a SWAT team serving a warrant for evidence of allegedly illegal prescription drug sales. Where do we go from here?
And let's not forget the Calvo raid, after *law enforcement* placed drugs on his stoop.
Sorry about the dog. Oh, wait. They weren't sorry.
