      it was Baldwin-Felts, but at the end of the day pinks are pinks even if their paychecks get written by another private “detective” agency

        Yes, thank you! The Pinkertons are right bastards but they weren’t involved in this very specific union busting scrum. Just, you know… *waves hands vaguely… all of that

          they’re all just little warlord bands just like from the bronze age onwards. mercenaries are mercenaries. the only thing that changes is the symbols they use to identify themselves.

          to reiterate:

          pinks are pinks no matter who cuts the checks
