My only exposure to the Pinkerton's has been in RDR2; so this is actually really interesting to find out about the person who started it all.

[@HellsCowBoy666]

RDR2 isn’t far off from how truly vile the pinkertons were

[@zooweemama911]

In one instance, the Pinkertons were hired by Henry Frick, who oversaw a steel plant for Andrew Carnegie in Pennsylvania that had gone on strike due to bad hours, dangerous working conditions and poor pay. Carnegie seemed to be a decent fellow, Frick on the other hand wasn’t. Anyways, the Pinkerton detective agency was deployed to end the strike and it ended in a massacre after the workers started throwing rocks. The Pinkertons opened fire, and it ended with 7 dead and 11 injured for the strikers, 3-8 dead for the Pinkertons and many more injured. This is just one example of how the Pinkertons were used, not as much of a detective agency but more as a private army. Frick himself survived an attempted assassination by a disgruntled worker, he was shot twice in the neck by a .38 caliber revolver, and then stabbed a few times in the leg, he then rose and helped subdue his attacker with the help of an assistant or two. This was shortly after the strike. Frick also caused the flooding of a small town, Johnstown in Pennsylvania, that was settled under a dam where Frick and Carnegie had a hunting and fishing club. Which, at the time was the worlds largest dam. The road out went right over the dam and someone ordered it lowered by three feet. After a few days of heavy rain the dam failed and flooded Johnstown, the flood killed 2200 people and caused the equivalent of $450 million in damages. The guys who hired the Pinkertons weren’t great people themselves, many of them were greedy businessmen, this is reflected by the Pinkertons own attitude of bending the law to their will with almost no oversight. Fascinating stuff.

@@zooweemama911 How was he responsible for the flooding of the town, when you say, "someone", instead of Frick, "ordered the road to be lowered by 3 feet". Especially since Frick himself had a investment into the Club that you mentioned. Just curious is all, because although I ultimately assume no one *intentionally* caused the wearing down of the Dam to cause the flooding, & to me anyway, it sounds like that "someone", along with the rain, caused the flood, & not Henry Frick. So since you have knowledge of it, & If you could elaborate I would appreciate it!🙃

I maybe one of the few here who knew of Allen Pinkerton outside of Red Dead Redemption. Back in the 90s I picked up a 1960s era kids book about him and other media led me to want to be a detective.

[@billtheslink4541]

I am a security guard, albeit now I am at the top of my field doing aviation security at an airport. A large part of our work still is directed against organized labor. My last assignment with a company was Amazon. Part of my job, because I was a smoker, was to hang out in the smoking area with the employees and talk to them. Many thought I was their friend, and I really did care about many people there, but I was always on the job gathering intelligence about who was unhappy about what and if there was any talk of unionization. All was reported back to the company. It made me feel dirty and I left for my new job. Be careful what you tell a security guard, no matter how friendly they seem. Their main job is to spy on the employees. Think about it. No unarmed guard will ever defend you, or at least he isn't supposed to. He has no more legal authority than any other civilian. What is he there for?

[@Dank-gb6jn]

@@SirBlackReeds I call him a philosopher because that’s what I, and appreciably many others see him as, (as evidenced by the continued positive interaction my comments get). As I’ve likely said somewhere else: I don’t, and never did agree with everything GC has said, or his political opinions and beliefs. That was never a concern of mine when I first started listening to his old specials a good chunk of years ago; so why should it be a concern now? Further, we have to face the fact that the so-called “left” of today is *vastly* different than it was in Carlin’s young days or even his older days. It’s not the party of FDR anymore. What the “left” was then, likely wasn’t full of the vitriol and word twisting it is today. Could Carlin’s words have chosen differently? Sure, just like all of our words could’ve been chosen differently in many situations. Carlin wasn’t a fool, nor was he a subpar hack as some like to claim. I think he was a master at what he did, and the burden of proof otherwise is on the detractors.

His story just goes to show, people are complicated. Assisting slaves to freedom, along with John Brown. Then going into Union Busting. Unions had a very narrow window of usefulness. If you notice those at the top, who ran the Unions, were never made up of the rank and file members. They were made up of "members" but not those who'd rarely done the work, of those they unionized. You swapped one boss, for 2. Each taking from you. One boss requiring you to buy goods from the company store, or pay rent for the company housing. The other, taking dues and other tributes, that lined the pockets of the union bosses. The boss tells you to strike you strike, you strike. Where you MIGHT face off against The Pinkertons, or others ... and get injured or killed. If you refused to strike, you DEFINITELY faced off against the Union thugs, where you had a GREATER chance of ending up killed or injured. That Union MO hasn't changed all that much today.
