- This Gizmodo article should fill you in on the basics of the original story.
- ‘The Pinkertons’ started as private bounty hunters on behalf of banks and railroads. They weren’t very good at it.
- They soon graduated from killing the family members of outlaws to killing the family members of Union organizers.
- That includes women and children.
- They are credibly believed to have destroyed evidence when ordered to testify before Congress.
- Nerds may know who they are because they sued Rockstar Games.
- They’re still actively engaged in Union-busting at the behest of companies like Amazon and Starbucks.
- As a 19th-century newspaper columnist put it so eloquently: “No man of refined sensibilities would enter the ranks as a hired Hessian of plutocracy, expecting to shoot down his brothers at the command of capital.”
