The Pinkertons - Red Dead Redemption 2 

Where did you get those numbers from? 36.25 would be $1,335.10 in 2023. (This is wrong info)

Inflation is a bitch

@@ooooothatsshit158he’s saying the one dollar is worth 36$

@@Idontknow-et8oq man im too tired i read that very wrong

Lol that puts it into perspective 😂

What did they expect from the game told from the perspective of outlaws? And Milton is shown as an honorable man

I'd argue they made them actually look cool for once. In reality the Pinkerton were a bunch of mercenary for hire bull who would shoot union workers

I feel like Milton was done well He seemed reasonable they weren’t as bad as they think it’s only Ross

The Pinkerton's were dope af in the game, compared o how shitty they were irl. Me and my friend's still rp as them in online from time to time lol idk what they expected coming from a company that makes games where you can have huge gunfights with the police and national guard.

I'm guessing they just forgot about Booker Dewitt from Bioshock infinite.

It kind of adds to their villainous lore 😂

All the lawsuit did was prove Rockstar right.

Also in 2023, they were hired as literally muscle by Wizard of the Coast to threathen and rob a Magic the Gathering RU-vidr, made his wife cry, just because Wizard themselves accidentally mailed him the wrong pack of cards, resulting in the youtuber accidentally leaking the pack...which was meant to release in a week nevertheless. So even after two centuries, they still act like a Milton and a Ross.

Strike breaking isn't villainy

@@nogoodhandlesavailable its a little scummy but is fucked up if people end up losing their lives

Probably because Arthur normally leaves for weeks just to return to camp with thousands of dollars and a dead deer on his shoulder.

​@@Bruno-by8pbfair point

​@@Bruno-by8pbdon't forget a new color gun and haircut

Colm wasn't the sharpest knife in the draw😅

Gangs with badges are just top tier gangs, as in more mighty than non badged gangs.

So like cops

​@@LewisB3217exactly and why the feds have to police the yt trash state police but then again the feds prove to be just as much trash

so cops😭

People seem to think that they are anything but monkeys that still roam the earth in tribes.... some tribes are simply more organized than others....

That's what I'm saying

John Pinkerton

My favorite part of the game was when Arthur looked at Ducth and said "It's red deading time!"

It was the only cutscene we were unable to skip too.

Bruh... for one split second, my brain just accepted this sentence and conjured images. Needless to say, I'm massively turned on.

That would be truly unfortunate

@@ruska9773bc cornwall paid them to be on the van der linde gangs ass 😂

Lol. Funny thing is they're actually not much better than the gangs they hunted. Even today, yes the Pinkertons are still in business, they're primarily just hired thugs for corpo trash.

yeahhhh👀👀

@@ruska9773 they really didn’t, they gave them multiple chances to surrender peacefully

It's almost like he wanted originally to avoid conflict. And only changed strategies when he learned bloodshed was unavoidable.

​@@Matt_History Isn't that normally how law enforcement should act?

​@@twistedyogertYeah. But the Pinkerton Detective Agency wasn't so much a law enforcement group, as much as it was more of a Private Security Company.

@@twistedyogertthe Pinkertons weren’t Law Enforcement, they were private security, the only reason they are associated with Law Enforcement is because during the Civil War they had a contract with the government

2 teacher's was related to horrible evil evil war soldier's john f reynolds commited several homicides and then the other one the leader general who surrendered, your lucky that your teachers ancestor's weren't evil

History teachers are always the best. Probably such a fun job being able to tell history to kids. Especially if you live history

@@REBOOTGAMING492 Sins of the father are not passed on the son. Heritage doesn't own you.

HOLY CRAP NOW VOTE TRUMP

@@REBOOTGAMING492VOTE TRUMP PLEASE

They're also one of if not the largest & oldest private security firms in the country. Still little more than hired thugs for corpos. They're basically Max Tac or Militech from Cyberpunk.

I know them as the people who killed John.

@@Samm815they didn’t kill John tho, that was the 1911 version of the FBI

Well they would of been the ones going after the gang back in the day

Don’t care pinkertons will always be bad

It could also be a way to legally clear himself. It doesn’t look good or hold up well in court when you shoot someone in the back. So waiting for him to turn was probably just a way for him to kill Hosea and not get criminalized for it.

So Could hosea just walk over inside the bank awkwardly

@@tales-frontier no, I think that Milton would of shot him regardless. He has two outs, one Hosea turns around and it clears him. Or Hosea walks closer to the bank and kills him for aiding in an armed robbery.

i don't think that was a problem during old west days, most of those criminals were wanted dead or alive so it wouldn't matter how they died@@greenknightofwar7024

I can't believe Milton is a weezer fan

When does he shout it's pinkerton time?

@@Evilycwa During the mission Fleeting Joy, but it's very hard to hear

@@DeclanVH actually you can hear Milton mumble that famous line as well when they approach jack and Arthur while they fish.

“Emmm he’s right behind me, isn’t he..?” -Arthur Morgan

I'm a firm believer that he would've let the gang live as civilized people and prevented his cohorts from going after them, unless they caused massive chaos. I truly think that Milton just wanted Dutch and Ross wanted to see all of them dead or arrested, the true madman of The Pinkertons

@@cliffjumper416I believe so too, I think Milton is deceitful but not a liar a kind of contradiction.

He took it too far after the Saint Denis robbery.

​@@JackycakesV2He took it too far? Or did the gang maybe test his patience a tad bit too much?

@@baza0383 HE SHOT A GATLING GUN dude

Bravo, Vince!

It's a different way of saying "I met Dutch and lost 20 years of my life"

​@@StitchPenthat's when John became Winkleberg

I think John just thought Rip Van Winkle would be a funny alias to tell Milton

what seems funny to me is that even tho the violent criminal John knew about the story of Rip van Winkle, Milton did not catch the joke and seemed to believe it was his actual name

For what?

@@luismarin3500 no idea, it got mentioned in the video. Wouldn't surprises me if they did it just because they though the game made them the antagonists.

@@Bronasaxon im pretty sure that is it exactly, and also funnily as some other comments say all the lawsuit did was prove rockstar right

It was "Good day, sir" I think.

Yeah it was a peculiar choice

For a good while FBI and CIA where actually in the 3d universe (not counting the crappy remasters that changed them to the HD universe verisons) Only in the HD universe did they start that naming. Strange....

En el RDR1 están el Boreau creo que es una representación del FBI, Edgar Ross pertenece a esta agencia en el trascurso del RDR1.

CIA and FBI are powerful presently The Pinkertons however are impertinent

As said in the 3d universe they were using actual names like FBI and CIA but changed later. Red Dead one used Pinkertons already and with Ross there they had no choice but to keep the name since it tied to rdr1

Really it seems like everything throughout the game is done for Dutch’s well-being rather than the gang’s.

I highly doubt that considering what happens to John at the end RDR1

@@buck342443 That wasn't the Pinkertons though. Those were the actions of a government agency.

I’m imagining Agent Milton kicking down the door and shouting the speech he was yelling in Lagras (or wherever it was I’m bad at memory)

​@@revilno" i will hunt you down to the ends of the earth to ends of time"

@@revilnoit was lagras

@@nunziopuzo9210 ok

No, Dutch wouldn’t have let that happen, he doesn’t actually want to stop being an outlaw

Death before dishonor and working with pure evil like Milton. As John says in RDR1, Dutch was a far better man than the likes of Ross.

@@NikkolasKingHence why he said Milton and not Ross.

That's my main gripe with the story. John decides that out of all places he has to with his family to somewhere 5 mins from where he partook in a MASSACRE. He could've stayed in the Yukon, gone to Europe, Australia or Asia and live his life forever there with no risk, but no

​@@noamias4897Abigail was the rat confirmed

@@noamias4897Maybe he thought that after 8 years the pinkertons will calm down a bit since the gang was disbanded and the two lieutenants of the gang ( Arthur and Hosea) were officially dead. The only really stupid thing John did was using his real name , like WTF ? He was known by Ross at that point and he was a fugitive since he escaped a federal prison.

You're thinking of the BOI. The Pinkertons were never a law enforcement agency. They were always a privately owned company that worked as gun thugs for whomever would hire them.

I think I remember my dad telling me this when he worked for Securitas. Still a cool piece of trivia.

I had a few friends who worked for them and it seemed like something they really prided themselves on. Good reason.

He knew John was John, don't you think they found out who he was when they captured him?

​@@potatoman1111that was ross who found out

To give one more anecdote on Western Film makers social commentary and their competition.... For a long time Sergio Leone admired american film maker Sam Peckinpah, who was beside John Ford one of the 2 big house hold names of the American Late-Western Sub genre... but Peckinpah ( so goes the story ) made a comment that rejected him and also had a somewhat dislike of Italian westerns in general. So that's why Sergio Leone friend Tony Tonino Valerii had a scene in the Movie "My Name is Nobody", on a graveyard, with a gravestone with the name "Sam Peckinpah" on it, on wich the "Nobody" called protagonist and typical antihero played by Terence Hill commented on: "Sam Peckinpah..." (stated some what ironic) "...now that's a beautiful Name"

Anyone else smell burnt toast?

@@copperypuddle3858 you wanna imply I'm having a stroke because you don't get the context? It's notorious for rockstar games and they are known for qouting with their games typical movies on the same topics... I mean to mention alone how many times Rockstar Games qouted in all the GTA Titles Michael Mann movies like most popular with 1995 "HEAT" and also his less popular 1981 "THIEF" ...and also the "Miami Vice" TV-Series within the story of "Vice City" would make a very very long list... but yet alone that rockstar got short before the death of Edgar Froese and his little Band-project called "Tangerine Dream" the favourites film music componist of Micheal Mann ( who composed the music of HEAT, THIEF and Miamy Vice btw. ;) ) to do all the non radio-station related music in GTA V shows they kind of very very notorious with their movie quotes in the content of their games... Or is it about the social political commentary ? you would be surprised how an american actors heroes like beloved Clint Eastwood worked with Directors wich had been former known members of the block free Italian communist party ;) while they filmed all these "spaghetti western" movies for the most times back then in at that time still "Titos" Yugoslavia ;) And its also surely not without any reason why popular spaghetti western film componist Ennio Morricone wich wrote Music for both Sergios is so deeply beloved by Quentin Tarantino, also wrote "Heres to you" on the Anarcho-Communists Sacco & Vanzetti.

Call a bondulance

@@DrClock-il8ij cool one guy with only one video on each of his revealed troll-accounts with miraccoulus incident of just having just one uploaded video out from RDR tells to himself how "right he is..." I asume you also masturbate on pictures of yourself, while telling the whole time to your self how good in bed you are... go on harder! maybe you start to truly convince your self maybe at one day. 🤣

Tbf the word Pinkerton isn't even that intimidating, sounds like they deal with making pink stuff.

Honestly, they were portrayed BETTER than they were in real life. Here, they were just going after an outlaw gang with quasi cultists quasi anarchist tendencies. In real life, they were shooting miners who wanted to unionize, not even really for great pay (maybe just fair pay) but just for safer working conditions and reasonable hours.

.. aww yes, the ppl alive at the height of this "pinkertons" thing AND also played this game are in high abundance lol 😂

@@selphconscious I know you’re being a smart ass. But 1) this was taught in elementary school. And 2) the Pinkerton agency is still in operation today. It never stopped.

​@@WaldoBagelTopper What school did you go to that you needed to know about the Pinkertons?

I read something about that, what’s that about?

@@Fizhy someone got hold of MTG expansion cards early, made a vid about them; and not longer after, there were Pinkerton at his door to retrieve the cards. Some Google results imply that it wasn't the first time something like that has happened, but I can't remember the details.

​@@SamButler22pretty sure it was the pinkertons who Amazon hired to try intimidating unionizing workers, too. They're still just as massive scumbags as they've ever been.

Turn on a vpn and start spilling the beans

No

Legit the best part of the game. Bravo Vince

Yes R* knocked that outta the park with the realism and historical accuracy

this is the moment where dutch became heisenberg

I'd say he'd have left them alone. His main goal was Dutch.

He literally machine gunned them.

@@derpeth2101 i mean he gave them a chance.

@@SOUND_WAVE.. No, he didn't. Regardless, it doesn't excuse murder.

@@derpeth2101 Did you even play the game, Milton gave the Van Der Linde gang a couple of chances to turn Dutch in and live normal lives, and Milton got fed up so he decided to just kill them instead.

My mistake.

@@Fizhy Easy mistake to make, being as the name does come from the Scottish influence in the city's foundation.

So they’re still trying to catch Dutch going to Tahiti then? 😂

Did you work on the weezer cruise?,

@@SqueakyMcSqueaks no:( I am out of Galveston lol

@@miketrujillo3677 would've been ironic

Maybe before blackwater or chapter 3

​@@VextonomyDefinitely before Blackwater... It was his idea to pull that job after all.

No there was no rat. Its just the gang who leaves a trail of bodies everywhere they go. Their time, has pretty much passed. Whole theme of the game

Get some kip mate, the video ain't going anywhere.

@@Fizhy fair enough

On Decades maybe

Which The titans from the anime and manga Attack on Titans are named after a criminal.
