Elderly Irish American couple shot dead at home in professional hit

@CitizenWhy, The Westies indeed were in Hell's Kitchen but above 42nd St. FWIW I should know: my father was a Westie and Jimmy Coonan's best man at his wedding.

I'm 69-years old and I concider myself well beyond the "use-by" date, lisammc. Not much left now but to await the "Grim Reaper"!

Since when are people considered "elderly" in their late 60s!

Whitey Bulger's gettin even?

Springfield9's comment is too true. When in college I worked the docks in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The mob left us college guys alone for some reason, but they preyed on the other dock workers. Strikes were called every day, on some day more than once. Construction at that time was completely mob run. No idea if that's true today. .. P.S. My mother got me that job through an Irish-American gangster to whose daughter she had been very kind.

@colkelley .. The Westies were a New York City Irish American gang, below 42nd street. The neighborhood is now gentrified.

I worked a job (years ago) where there were 6 no-show workers. Their time cards said they were there and even put in overtime. We never saw them. Construction has a dark side.

There will be more to this than meets the eye.

Wouldn't it be the Westies in Boston?
