BulgerMania seems to have broken out in Italy because police are seeing Whitey Bulger and his girlfriend everywhere. Even if you don't look like Whitey Bulger but happen to be an old white guy, do not go to Italy.
The FBI posted an image and video of a distinguished-looking white couple strolling through Italy. And, what do you know, distinguished-looking white guys who don't even look like Bulger are getting hassled. Earlier this month, poor Robert Dowdy, a Yankees fan from Rhode Island who doesn't even look like Bulger, got picked up by Italian police.
This time, George and Iris Weiland of Wisconsin, took a trip to Italy and "were waiting in a parked tram, ready to take in the sights, when police swarmed the vehicle with guns drawn."
Bulger, who is likely camping out in a place that is not Italy, must be getting a kick out of this.
