Violence Quotes in Black Mass: Whitey Bulger, the FBI, and a Devil's Deal

He might be utterly devoid of morals, but Whitey sure is ambitious. And punctual. Jokes aside, this is a huge early warning sign that Bulger is going to be trouble, but Connolly doesn't even skip a beat. Not a good look for an FBI agent.

Although Bulger wasn't a particularly cruel kid, he was certainly known to throw hands from time to time. Of course, as we'll see, adult Bulger seems to get a disturbing amount of joy from inflicting pain on other people.

Make no mistake—Bulger isn't some sympathetic criminal who only turns to illegal activity to save his dying wife, or [insert sob story here]. He's a criminal because he loves it. He beats people up because it's fun. No wonder he rises to the rank of mob boss in record time.
