I was a kid in the early 90s, living in Colombia. At 8 or 9 years old, we had to live with the fear of car bombs in the streets every single day. I was scared my mom, who was a school teacher in downtown Bogota, would be near one of those one day. The DAS car bomb indeed shattered every piece of glass at her school. In those days it was perfectly legal to show dead maimed bodies in the evening news, so that's what we would get every night, to the point my parents and my grandmother would prevent me and my brother from watching the nightly news. But anyway we as kids heard stuff about his bombs, about his hitmen on motorbikes, when he killed Galan, and stuff like that. I do remember it as if it was yesterday. I could even point the exact street where it happened. I was 9, and I was walking down said street with my mother and my grandmother, and I saw a piece of discarded El Espectador newspaper on the floor. It read: Pablo Escobar Ha Muerto, alongside a picture of his bearded, bloodied body. I felt a huge wave of warm relief on my body, top to bottom. "Good", I thougt, "he won't be killing any more people". My mom told me that we shound't overjoy at the death of someone, and yes we shound't. But that day, at just 9 years old, I did. A friend of mine and my wife's lost his father at the DAS bombing, also as a kid. He has serious issues today, depression and the like. Pablo's name cannot be uttered in his presence.

The idea that Pablo Escobar (or Al Capone or other organized criminals) was particularly good at the business side of his career is very hard to justify, since the criminality of their businesses changes so much about the way it works. You are only competing against other criminals, and you have to use your own violence instead of the state's laws to enforce your dealings. I doubt Pablo Escobar would've done at all well in a business environment in which cocaine production and export were legalized. I think his willingness to do violence was his primary "value add" to the process.

These movie are created like that the character will not do anything so bizzare( like exactly how it happened in real life) that you disassociate yourself, but everything served in bits which seems contextually appropriate. I don't know but this what I felt, I feel it's more of a marketing thing than anything else.

amazing how people are easily carried away by the emotions that are displayed in the series. I think this makes narcos a great performance from the actors and crew. At the same though it blows my mind that people ignore stuff like a downed commercial airliner in the background. The show doesn't lie directly, it's more of an emotional manipulation in an very overt way.

How Escobar had hundreds of underaged girls kidnapped for him to rape and abuse. Our guide was shot in the streets by cartel members when he was a kid, back in the 90s. He actually showed us his bullet wound. I was really baffled by the experience. Thanks for making this video.

I've never been to Colombia before, but I was in Argentina, which is where I met my friend from Colombia. When I first met her she asked, "Joe, what do you know about Colombia?" lol In my head all I could literally think of was Cocaine, Coffee and Escobar.

Psychologists class a combination of three traits into one called the Dark Triad: Machiavellianism, Narcism, and Psychopathy . One wonders how deep does the darkness go? Whatever the case is with Don Pablo Escobar, he's fascinating. I wonder how many forensic psychologists are able to map out his complex personality. There is a certain logic to the absolute ruthlessness he transacted with. There are also many inexplicable successes. His insights that led to favorable outcomes which were impossible to predict given the limited amount of information he had to make decisions with. There are strokes of brilliance in his thinking - criminal genus. Was Escobar just, ruthless, cunning and lucky? He is a man whom will continue to fascinate for a long time.

Thank you for this video. I never watched the Netflix series. I don't like criminals being glamorized.

Three years ago I was in Colombia. One day I was walking by a market. There were a lot of people around a man in his 70s asking for selfies or autoghraphs. I thought he was a movie star or a former footballer. They told me he was Roberto Escobar Gaviria, Pablo's brother, the former accountant of the Medellin's cartel. He doesn't appear in Narcos but he's now a celebrity. After he was released from prison he wrote books and appeared in many documentaries. To be honest I found the way people idolized him a bit creepy.

The criminals then flayed the son alive - cutting the flesh away from his chest, exposing his ribs. They then cut through his ribs and pulled his beating heart out.

The best thing about this show was showing all of the dad clothes Pablo wore 🤣

The acting for Pablo was superb. Very real.

In the late 80s, in Bogota I was about 2 blocks away, on a traffic light waiting to turn when one of the "car bombs" planned for the head of the Secret Police exploded. When I turned, I couldn't drive more than half a block, left my car and walked as close as I could to the place of the explosion. I saw several limbs on the ground, brain matter and saw the bodyguards of the intended target put an older guy in the back seat of their armored car. I found out a few minutes later, the older guy with a piece of rebar going from side to side of his head, was the father of a close friend. I saw his wife next to their destroyed car, completely covered with his and her blood, multiple small pieces of glass in her legs. They saved the "intended target" by trying to pass his car at the exact moment the bomb went off. I helped the lady to get in a taxi cab and went with her to the "Military Hospital" where her husband was taken, and was holding her hand while the hospital receptionist was paging her daughter, my friend and a doctor at that hospital. Another time, I was working on a high rise building on100th Street in Bogota, on the phone looking out of the window, when I heard a big explosion and immediately a dark column of smoke went up. My boss, some guy from Oklahoma, ran to my office trying to ask me what was that. I just said, I think it was a bomb and according to what I can see from here was around 93th street at 14 Avenue. When I said that, the accountant (a short guy that looked like Danny de Vito, but 2 inches taller) ran into my office; he was as pale as a sheet of paper and after a few tries he could say: "Connie, my wife, just went to a bank there to deposit some cash and checks". We tried to contact the bank several times but it was impossible to connect. We ran the 9 blocks that separated that place from the office and found a total chaos. About 20 cars were destroyed on the street in front of that mall that covered the whole block. I saw several people asking for help on the ground and pieces of people that were trying to make a living or of a young girl that was going to buy some tickets for a circus or a Disney on Ice show with her dad. We walked around and we couldn't find Connie's car, but some of those cars were completely destroyed or burned. I guess over 20 people died that day and we were afraid that Connie was one of them. I started to walk back to the office, when I got the office receptionist calling me on the radio, the accountant's son was on the phone. He was home, about 5 miles from that place, trying to figure out why his mom got home in a car full of holes, no tires and no glass on the windows. Connie was coming out of the bank, because she forgot some of the deposit cash under the driver seat, before the guard opened the door the bomb went off, she got out and in shock drove those 5 miles home in a semi destroyed car. When I found the accountant, he was close to passing out, thinking the worst. He hugged me and cried, I don't know for how long when I said: "she is home, she is ok". That was the kind of things, we have to live through thanks to the MF of Pablo Escobar.

It’s more comprehensive but also feels way more of a telenova compared to Narcos.

The movie Loving Pablo in my opinion does a pretty good job of portraying Pablo as an irredeemable monster. It also accuses the police of regularly massacring teenagers from poor neighborhood out of the belief that they will one day work for Pablo. Anyway, if you want to see a more accurate portrayal of events there’s El Patron del Mal. It moves at a much slower pace and there’s a lot of cheesy telenovela moments but it’s a pretty good show and kind of humorous at times.

Finally! A sound/real commentary. Anyone that’s ever experienced Narco terrorism understands that the show is romanticized bs. Spend time in the pueblo & y’all will know.

Thanks for this video ! It is very interesting. But what I don’t agree with what people often say is that narcos idolises Escobar. He is abhorrent in the series already - just take the downing of a full passenger plane to kill a presidential candidate. He did really do that - in the show they take liberty to show how a poor young man is tricked into doing it (and his wife is later murdered). It was sickening. To be fair people who watched the show idolise him as a fact. I have trouble understanding how a person in their right mind - especially people who claim to be believers - could idolise this pure evil of a man

This reminds me of how they portray Richard Kuklinski “The Iceman”. They always make it seem like he was good to his family and keep them in the dark about what he was doing. In reality he was horrifically abusive and told them he would kill all and disappear if the cops were ever onto him.

Some important detail, no, if drugs were legal Pablo S will still be a criminal, he will not have selected drugs if there were legal. It's clear that he could have build an empire on many other lines of business, he selected not to do it and he selected not to stop and turn to normal business once he had the capital. His actions show that he was a violent sociopath. Some people are like that. Many rich politicians have almost everything and still select crime for example.

True, also if drugs were legal then there would not be such high profit margin on drugs, so obviously he would have gone for something else that would have been illegal.

One gram of pure pharmaceutical cocaine costs less than a dolar. The only reason why cocaine is so expensive is because prohibition artificially inflates drugs prices, which in turn drives addicts to crime to pay for their habit. There's a reason why there was a 93 percent drop in addiction related crime during Dr. John Marks program of prescribing pharmaceutical heroin and cocaine for hundreds of addicts in 1980s Britain (just look for Legal Heroin for Addicts in Liverpool here on KZread). Most of the problems blamed on drugs (even the so called hard drugs) are really caused by prohibition. Look at the drug poisoning epidemic America is going through. Yes, the problem started in the 90s when doctors were misled by Purdue Pharma about the risks of OxyContin. Purdue marketed oxy as a not so addictive drug when in fact it's just as addictive as other opioids. But as Andrew Sullivan puts it, "if it was a huge, well-intended mistake to create this army of addicts, it was an even bigger one to cut them off from their supply." People were cut off of prescription opioids and resorted to the illicit market which reacted to the demand by flooding the streets with fentanyl. In 2011, when the crackdown on opioid prescriptions was beginning, oxycodone was the number one killer, with 5,587 deaths. In 2017, after the crackdown, there were 28,466 deaths from fentanyl or similar synthetic opioids. In 2021, there were more than 90,000 overdose deaths, mostly from fentanyl contaminating the illicit supply. Those numbers are just staggeging. It's today's version of people going blind or paralyzed or dying from methanol poisoned moonshine in 1920s alcohol prohibition. It can only be solved by legal regulation.

I don't know if you understand the "Don" term, as used in spanish. By calling him "Don Pablo" you are implying that you respect him as a person and as a community leader. You don't call someone "Don" unless you consider him to be a leader and someone to follow. Most people outside his own country call him simply "Pablo Escobar" for this reason.

To answer your question at the end of your brilliant video. The real question is, would all drugs being legal be more or less damaging than them being banned? Both sides of the coin are hazardous. Making cocaine easily accessible would obviously be problematic. But would it cause more issues than the current drug war? Who knows, the only way we can ever find out is experiment. I would guess that making Class A drugs legal would be calamitous on a societal level. The drug war is obvious terrible but these type of political issues have no flawless solution. It's often a game of making the least sacrifice possible.

Yep... hindsight bias. We know the effects of it being illegal. We can only guess as the systemic effects of it being legal. It's easy to imagine all the violence would go away.. I think a lot would. However, its also easy to imagine a huge increase in addicts and all the ill effects that come with that. Just look at opioids... and that's "legal."

I honestly don't think it would make much of a difference if they didn't hide it. Breaking Bad made no attempt to hide the evil of its main character (though it wasn't that obvious until Season 3), and a lot of viewers still think of White as the hero.

Great video presentation, very knowledgeable and interesting, thank you. For a good insight into where the worldwide cocaine trade is in more recent years since the time of Escobar I recommend the book Kilo by Toby Muse. The trouble is, the habits of ordinary everyday people who create the demand cannot be separated from the monsters at the top of the supply chain. It's a problem that is difficult to solve: maybe decriminalisation could help but eventually people's addictions would be controlled and manipulated not by drug lords but by fully legalised monsters in pharmaceutical and financial and governmental institutions.

Narcos has that entertaining/engaging vibe. El patrón del mal has suspense/thriller vibe. El patrón de mal is so much more intense

Most or all drugs should be legalised everywhere. The war on drugs and drug prohibition is an infringement on freedom and causes huge amounts of damage. It also has been and always will be a massive failure. Making it legal would make drugs safer and vastly reduce crime and violence. It would end the problems that Latin America and many other places are facing.

Damn he really talked about her going deaf in one ear and says “fell on deaf ears” 😂😂😂😂

It’s funny how Narcos is internationally famous but in Colombia we hate the show simply because the actor playing Pablo is Brazilian and doesn’t do the accent well (for us it’s easy to notice) so it’s hard to watch lmao
