Know your enemy

by a Monday, Nov. 24, 2003 at 11:35 PM

Vons hires goons to dress up like storm troopers and video strikers.

Know your enemy...

Here's photos of two of them and their goon squad car at the Vons on Barrington and Santa Monica at the UCLA Students in Solidarity with strikers march and rally held on 11-22-03

License plate

by Scabbie Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2003 at 11:51 AM

Did you print the license plate of the "goon" so your union "Brothers" could dispense some good old "Union justice?" I think Vons hired the goons to try and keep you ass wipes in line

lensmen

by Meyer London Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2003 at 1:33 PM

Those creeps look like expert camermen. I bet they make money when no strikes are going on by taking upskirt pictures and selling them on the internet. They are hoping to make it to the big time someday - film crew members on the Jerry Springer Show.

I suspect

by fresca Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2003 at 7:42 PM

I suspect they were simply taking advantage of an opportunity to film these hapless strikers for the next episode of "Uneducated and unmotivated buffoons and the messes they get their pathetic asses into".

Photo of Bush Admirer?

by x Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 at 7:32 AM

Could it be that we now have a photo of Bush Admirer or one of the other cyber goons that harass this site?

I fail to see ...

by Max Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 at 8:02 AM

I fail to see why anyone should consider these gentlemen to be his or her enemy.

What exactly were these men doing besides taking notes and videotaping the violent and turbulent acts of the disgruntled ex-employees? Nothing, of course.

And besides, these men certainly have a right to document the misdeeds of the foul communistic proles as a record for the court jury to decide guilt of criminal misconduct.

Video cameras sure are cool technology.

The two losers

by Meyer London Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 at 9:18 AM

Well, if any "turbulent and violent acts" were taking place the two goons didn't look too scared. You don't suppose they were taking pictures of strike leaders (no doubt "ringleaders" in their eyes) so that these workers could be harassed after the strike is over, do you? Nah, not a chance.

Fantasy and conjecture

by Max Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 at 9:48 AM

Why should any law abiding American fear the rampageous misconduct of radical reprobates? They shouldn't.

What they should do is videotape the malicious mischief of these delinquent adults and then report them to the proper authorities. I imagine that is exactly what happened here.

"You don't suppose they were taking pictures of strike leaders (no doubt "ringleaders" in their eyes) so that these workers could be harassed after the strike is over, do you?"

That's exactly what I think they were doing. They were videotaping them so they could "harass the ringleaders" throught the use of "the rule of law". This appears to be a concept that communists and anarchists can't seem to fathom.

But law is king in a civilized society. Anarchists and communists wouldn't know anything about that though.

"illegal death threats"

by Max Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 at 10:17 AM

Meyer London has once again taken leave of his senses. And the Indymedia status quo is once again preserved.

What a bunch of whackos!

Funny Stuff

by mediawatcher Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 at 4:02 PM

Funny stuff, Mr. London.

What decade do max, cabbie, fresh, and all the other
ilk come from with their tired obsession with communists,
and the IMC in general? Are they just the mutiple personalities of bush-asskisser or multiple surveillance
morons with nothing better to do with their time besides
monitor the IMC and masturbate to their own right-wing agenda. Shouldn't ya'll be better spending your time at the FOXNEWS website or the O'Reilly jack-off page. Quien Sabe...

Equal Opportunity Goons

by neo-cons suck Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003 at 4:08 PM

they got a white goon and a black goon and both of
them look like pigs doing some moonlighting.

the supermarket corporations are so desperate to
break up the union that not only will the greedy
fucks resort to wasting food, but they'll hire
goons to do surveillence on the stikers.

just shows how desperate von, albert, and ralph
are to follow the walmart example...ain't gonna
happen...

At least the goons are working

by Scabbie Thursday, Nov. 27, 2003 at 8:08 AM

The stores aren't desperate but I suspect you Union sheep are getting a little worried. Do your Union boss men forgo their pay during the strike or do they lap up the gravey while you march around? Dumb shits. Union "Brothers" .......please

Shouldn't ideology not matter?

by KWC Saturday, Nov. 29, 2003 at 12:21 AM

Though I disagree with much of what is said on this site, I read Indymedia because I want to be informed on both sides of the issue. I want to be rational, and sensible, I want to view things from all possible angles to find the right solution, which usually doesn't come from the lunatic fringes, but rather somewhere in the middle.

I personally find this article, especially the postings of license plate numbers, wholly irresponsible and devoid of journalistic integrity. So the big bad stores hired private investigators to monitor the strikers. Big deal. It keeps the less responsible of the strikers from making idiots of themselves by going out and "sticking it to the man" by damaging property. If this footage is used at a later date by the supermarkets in retributatory action, then file a suit against the EEOC. But don't attack the stores for keeping track of a potentially unstable situation.

PHOTO OF SAME GOON AT OCT. 22nd March

PHOTO OF SAME GOON A...
goon_in_22nd_oct._march_2.jpg, image/jpeg, 486x348

This same goon was probably hired by the pigs. In this picture also taken by a, he is walking with the protesters at the last October 22nd march against police brutality.

They watched the Scabies

by Von's Striker Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2003 at 3:38 PM

The Goon Squad was at our store in Mammoth Lakes a little over a week ago. This was because we picketed our managers home to stop store delieveries by UPS (teamster drivers). They soon decided that it was the scabs who needed watching and not us. ie...theft and more theft. One of the Goons stated "It is total mess in the store". after a few days they left and a few scabs were fired. So scabies beware they are also watching you more than us, just like the cameras above the checkstands you will be caught and delt with after the strike when the company no longer needs you.

Funny Farm

by johnk Wednesday, Jan. 04, 2006 at 11:58 PM

Napoleon XIV was recording engineer and novelty singer-songwriter Jerry Samuels whose best known songs include the thoroughly demented "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" (1966, 1973 remake).
