Sounds to me like he commit suicide I saw an interview with Murphy and Pena Murphy says there's no way commit suicide because he would have had gunpowder burns on his face and they were no gunpowder Burns the interviewer asked him what's the difference he's dead anyway and Murphy said there's a big difference whether he was murdered or commit suicide so maybe he just does not want to admit it
I was pretty horrified by what he did after watching, even more so now that it supposedly glossed over his cruelty. I cant see how someone could defend him
That says more about the cursed board game than it does about Escobar. Monopoly destroys thousands of families daily. None escape it's grip of death with it's rules people can argue about for eternity.
@@bradleyakulov3618 True. My mother won ONE monopoly game from something like 5-6 years ago when playing with my sister and I, and she is still rubbing it in all these years later. She doesn't seem to ever wanna rematch either, I guess to not lose her gloating rights.
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.
Great explanation. I was in Colombia for vacation the past month and had a few tours in Medellin. One in downtown and one in Comuna 13. It's incredible how many youngsters (born after Escobars death) adore him. The people like you who lived through the terror know better and the world deserves to know what kind of TRUE criminal he was.
@@LesPaul2006 my guide in the downtown tour got shot by a drive by, twice in the leg and 10 of the 15 kids (10-15yr old) were killed. His uncle was also kidnapped for ransome money. Thats why its impossible to adore someone like escobar. Colombia is so beautiful man, best country i ever visited ❤️🙌🏼

Most people probably couldn't comprehend or process just how evil and cruel Escobar really was. Just remember, he blew an airliner out of the sky, killing everyone on board, in an unsuccessful attempt to kill one person who was supposed to be on the flight, but wasn't.
Netflix (with a different name) used to be a video-rental mail service in the US/UK - Apparently the founders always wanted to create Netflix, it was the initial idea, but in the '90s the tech didn't exist so they pivoted to mail-rental
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.
100%. He was a school drop-out criminal from an early age and the women in her family (mom, aunts and wife) pampered and tended to him so much that he did not see the necessity to have an honest life ever.
If they could have excelled in business they would have been able to get into it. I remember in Lord of War, when Yuri tried to go clean the margins were not big enough to satisfy his ego. So he went right back into gun running
You can't say he was bad at business when he was one of the most successful drug dealers in all of history, you have to have some sense of business to become that successful, even if a lot of that business is done through violence and intimidation. Most legal billionaires got there by playing dirty too.
@ectric4842 Dude he came from a poor family, you're acting like he had no need to make money because he was pampered to. Most criminals are school dropouts who were criminals from an early age, lots of them were not pampered to, it's really not a factor in determining if someone will be a criminal. This is also no determination if he is good or bad at business, to say the most successful drug dealer of all time wasn't good at business is silly.
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.
It’s listed in the drama section, it’s not a documentary. Tell me one person that has “ignored” the downed airliner. You are upset over what you think others think. Ask anybody what they think about the bad things he did. I can guarantee you that you won’t find anyone that thinks highly of it. Regardless, it doesn’t matter. The damage is done, it has been for decades. Much worse things have happened, why are you ignoring the holocaust? How about the other billions of deaths that have happened before
When I visited Colombia, we also went to Medellin. We took a walking tour there. Our guide told us so much about the Escobar time. How you shouldn't say his name in the streets now because of all the misery that happened. How he hated Narcos for being way too inaccurate. 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. While I loved Narcos, it's important to emphasize the fact that what really went down is so so so much worse than how it's depicted in the series.
@@severinseverin268 talk about irony... He meant the tour guide told him about how he (the tour guide if you're still not following smoothbrain) hated the show narcos. Work on your reading comprehension numbnuts
I'm Colombian I was 3 when he was killed, however I can say that this person was the worst thing that ever happened to Colombia, not only because he killed so many innocent people, had private parties with virgin underage girls, create a horror situation in the country but because he open a door of the worst situation that we still face in our country, this person made the drug trafficking our biggest way of income not only with criminals but it has a great impact in our political scenario. No he was not any kind of idol, and please stop adoring him.
USA destroyed middle eastern countries with Wars, then with terrorist they made and then with drugs. As like that, they destroyed the Latin america with drugs and making people like Pablo an idol, for adults . "a way out of life".
I have been hearing all these people talk about Escobar having raped/kidnapped 1000s of "Underaged" "Virgin-girls" and having "Rape Parties" for other Narco Men. I call BULLSHIT. The DEA, CIA, and Colombian Para-Militaries LOVE to tell just how Evil Pablo was. I mean, they love to give any detail about anything bad he did, so they hate him. I've NEVER heard of any Intel from the people who chased/killed him saying anything about him being a rapist of young girls. Ever.
@@migara_sen everyone was afraid !! not only of Pablo, it was mostly the terror and the chaos that he created All around the country. Bombs, kidnapping, executions etc. Besides, he was not the only one creating this ; the government involved, the cartel del valle del cauca ( enemies of Pablo ). So he was not the only one we were scared of, it was the whole situation that still permeates our country. So no, Pablo Escobar was not a leader, nor a person to admire. La narco cultura es y será uno de nuestros peores flagelos en Colombia.

Heard someone say the best season for a financial breakthrough is now, especially with inflation running at a four-decade high. I have approximately $650k stagnant in my port_folio that needs growth.What is the best way to take advantage of this downturn?
Just imagine retiring as a registered nurse, using all your income/salary to pay rent and tax without any good investment or means of extra cash, tending to leave your profession/job that has been part of you for many years with no good funds. How will you cope?
That's why we need to plan ourselves via making extras in all we do because depending on paycheck that can give us our comfort and peace till we die is not guaranteed
The way Escobars son is always talking about how his dad was a saint makes me so mad, when he himself had a front row seat to his dads disgusting evil actions.
I am glad that someone actually made this video, although there have been many documentaries that details Pablo Escobar's reign of terror that came out prior to the release of the Netflix series, there were still people who grew to admire this guy when the series came out. There was one guy on a radio show in my country who even labelled this guy as "a victim of the system". What a joke.
Which is crazy cuz the show paints him as the ruthless monster he was people are just brain dead. It's the same thing with the sopranos. They don't realize the show was demonizing people like that. The creator and the director loaths them and refers to them as the "hits and tits" crowd meaning thats that the only thing they watch the show for.
Movies and stories has something called a point of view and perspective, a protagonist in their own story and angle does not necessarily implies its perspective is the just or good contextually... duh.....
@@archingelus I agree that it's a point of view of the creator, but while watching you could see yourself in their situation and feel powerful or otherwise( in this case narcos) you are not watching the POV at that point you're yourself the character, now you live the character & feel good when character wins and bad when he's in his lows. 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.
You'd think the 99th Italian architect would've heard something about his compatriots dying in Colombia and maybe wouldn't have gone there to build a house.
Roberto Escobar's book "The Accountant's Story" is a fantastic read and actually introduced me the world of Escobar. It always bothered me that Roberto had no presence in the Narcos series.
You should read his son's. It's actually really well balanced. You can feel the conflict between loving his father and knowing that this same person was responsible for some horrendous things.
They shouldn’t romanticize him too much. Everyone and everything was expendable to him if it got in the way of business. It’s more interesting to explore how a person can go down that road to the point where it’s just the new normal.
Personaly, i think the narcos did 50/50 when it comes to romanticizing stuffs Yes they did tried to portay him as person we can relate with, buuut as season 1 progress. When the avianca bombings and his war with the police, it becomes clear that he was slowly but surely becomes this evil maniacs we've come to know
Yeah I remember years back, I had come across some meme that used a shot of the actor playing Escobar from the show. I'm not great at Spanish, but the meme was in Spanish and I was pretty sure I knew what it meant and it was nothing over the top, so I posted it on FB. One of my friends from Colombia was upset, since her family/friends were directly affected by Escobar and company during that era. 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. I was so embarrassed that I just told her, "not much".
Amazing video. I’ve been studying Pablo for a few years now and this video is on point. I also recommend Sebastian Marroquin’s book “Mi Padre” de Juan Pablo Escobar.
In his early years as a gangster he made a name for killing the family members of his enemies, which struck way more fear, than just killing a man. If that doesn't tell you what kind of cold-hearted bastard he was, nothing will...
@sourav joy first of all... don't. Don't ever do that. Second if you need to go after someone's family to scare them, then you are the pussy. You are a weak pathetic pussy who can't even scare someone themselves. Going after someone's innocent family is like the ultimate pussy move.
Escobar in the show really is sympathetic and I found myself rooting for him at times which is crazy but that's what TV does. Look at the godfather, goodfellas, sopranos and any other organised crime media, its all romanticised shit to entertain you. Taking any of it at face value is just stupidity
I was with you until the scene where he gives guns to pre teens so they can fight the cops for him. They do a great job of making him likable but even in this show you can see he a total scum bag.
Pablo Escobar's son came to Brazil and talked about this serie. I like this serie, but he said that he has offered, for free, familiar documents and stuffs, and the people behind this serie said something like:"Sorry, but I think that we know a little bit more about Pablo Escobar than you(Pablo Escobar's son). He was talking about the romatization of the drug dearling. If you're interested in this interview, it was at "The Noite com Danilo Gentili", the interview was with Juan Pablo Escobar. It's in portuguese and it doesn't have English Subtitles, but if you speak portuguese or spanish, I recommend it.
Another good one with Sebastián's first person amounts is a documentary called Sins of my Father. It shows him going back to Colombia for the first time after they ran away from there
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.
talking about something that happens in only one city is not talking about all of colombia, in medellin, where escobar was from, many people, especially the poor people love him, but the rest of colombia does not! so just a situation that you lived, does not mean that he is a celebrity.
I've seen plenty of videos of what the cartels get up to. One that sticks in my mind involved a police officer and his young teenage son. The police officer had refused this particular cartel's offer to become corrupt for them. They kidnapped him and his son. The boy was made to watch whilst his dad had his head cut off. 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. Those who think a bit of coke on a night out is harmless fun should watch such videos.
yeh how many people have died for you to snort your stepped on gear to talk shit to strangers in a kitchen/bathroom at 4am . the amount of death surrounding the production of coke is unreal

Because i have heard about a cartel in mexico(dont remember their name) who treats their enemies very cruelly, even from drug cartels standards.
The Netflix series about Escobar had nothing to do with portraying Escobar accurately, it had to do with generating profits. It's about giving the viewers what they want to see over what actually is. Leaving those 10 things out is about marketing, nothing more nothing less.
@@Urmom12190 Yeah what can I say, I was born smart, thanx for noticing lol. Keep studying you may become smart some day, may being the key word. Cheers!

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.
@@almadeunrebel the same year a more powerful bomb was placed in front of the DAS building in another attempt to kill Maza Marquez, but I don't think it was Pablo Escobar
@@almadeunrebel Also in November 1989, a commercial plane was blew up a few minutes into a flight from Bogotá to Cali, over 100 passengers were killed.
The real DEA officers depicted in Narcos did a tour talking about their experiences and the TV show. They told us that absolutely nothing about the show was accurate. And that the photo you see of them standing over his dead body on the rooftop was taken 30 mins after he was shot dead.... by Colombian police officer. They were not even consulted on the facts by the producers of the netflix series, which is why they felt compelled to do a speaking tour
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.
Lol. My family has had a Netflix account since then. We used to get this pamphlet every month with like 100 movies. Make your selections and send in pamphlet, few days later dvds arrived in the mail. Good old days
Most people aren’t looking to completely understand the man’s life but get a general view and something entertaining they can waste time on to watch. Narcos is better at doing that.
I met Don Roberto, went to the house where Pablo had his last birthday, had a good chat with Don Roberto and he was very hospitable to me and my ex missus. He said Netflix was way off the mark and made many fantasy scenarios which made it Hollywood tv he said. We went literally as Narcos was in its final season so they hype was great. When we got back home from our tour of South America, I didn’t realise they gravity of Don Roberto in reality and his part. I know what was said to me and it was totally different to what we see on Netflix, totally different lol
Well, I'm Colombian, and I was a teenager in the '90s, and I remember Government was so subdued to the Carteles, Bombs every day, and death people due to the war between Carteles, Guerrilla, Paramilitaries.
I mean it is shown so many times in the show that he wasnt a good person and killed so many people that were completely innocent so idk how people after watching the show think he was somehow a good person
Even tho they showed us he wasn’t good person in the show ..still they made us like him and I personally after watching the show I almost went in tears when pablo was shot💯
@@refresco No, the title song, Rodrigo Amarante's Tuyo. I've seen somewhere that Rodrigo wrote that with Pablo Escobar in mind, what he thought Pablo Escobar was trying to be; a man protecting his family (El castillo, la torre yo soy (I am the castle, the tower)). In the first series there is a scene that Pablo requests the song, singing along, which of course never happened.
I met and sat down with his brother Roberto in Medellin. Saw alot of Pablos stuff also that is shown in the videotapes of Pablo. His brother was blind and still lived in one of Pablos houses in Medellin. He does small tours now and I even got a shirt signed by him I have framed. I love history period.
I have had my home in Colombia since 2012 but have visited extensively since 2003...pretty much the end of Norte Del Valle which were remnants of the Cali Cartel. I love Colombia and prefer living there over the crap and insanity in the States anymore. Colombia is very peaceful and pleasurable place to live now.
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.
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.
That's inaccurate and actually the opposite: Teenagers openly killing police, hoping for some henchmen giving good word to Pablo about them. As a matter of fcat that's how he recruited "Arete", "Tyson" and "Titi". Loving Pablo was written by his "official" lover, Virginia Vallejo so take anything "good" with a grain of salt.
Netflix gave Escobar this "Robin Hood" persona and while yeah he did some good things, he did it with drug money and he killed judges, police, and any rival. He used violence exclusively and mercilessly.
@@drewcross9927 Yes, they were. For all the romanticization of Escobar in that Narcos show, it's more even-handed than they're making it out to be. It was made perfectly clear that while he did SOME good things, he was an unrepentant murderer and eventually became a terrorist who shot up and bombed the place and the people he initially wanted to protect.
Yeah, OK. What is drug money? He sold a product to people who wanted it. Cocaine is for rich businessmen and celebrities. The reason for the violence is because of the illegality of it. Just ho many people were killed during prohibition.
@@deansusec8745 Um... crack is for the poor and is the same product. I'm not sure what your point is here. That if it wasn't illegal people wouldn't die over it? That's just wrong. Escobar, while doing somethings for the benefits of his community, would have broken laws anyways for the sake of making more money. Even if it was legal, he would probably killed people he thought was competition solely because it interfered with his income. He was beyond wealth. Yet he continued to kill and destroy lives to make more. It was about greed, but the illegality of the drug.
People who were in colombia would disagree . He wasn’t never a Robin Hood He bought the people and gave to them so he make them feel forever indebted to him in order for him to recruit young people to work for him . That’s the truth that so called Escobar researchers fail see .
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
Narcos was HEAVILY fictionalized. I'm fine with a little fictionalization, but come on.... Carillo didn't exist, Blackbeard didn't, Ivan wasn't killed my Pablo, No search bloc cops were killed during the final raid on Pablo and much more
I was there for drugs to be illegal so they can extort money from people and put people in jail..Imagine being grown and it being your life, and making your own decisions. glad i can drink,smoke cigarettes and eat the anti freeze and other chemicals in our food
My friend's parents also used to cheat at games they played with their sons and their son's friends, like me. I couldn't believe that an adult would do that to a kid. Both of their sons ended up felons for cheating their clients and the government. Not the best idea.
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.
Also the bullet that was used to kill himself was a german calibre and not used in Colombia by neither the military or the national police. He had a german handgun...I cant remember which exact handgun it was but it was german made.
Narcos is far from accurate even one of his hitmen named Popeye has said it, El Patron del mal which is another show about him is way more accurate in almost everything even on how they look. I mean Andres Parra the guy who played Escobar looks just like him
Well Narcos is more about the Government side of the story with Pablo details added on to it. I always saw the show through the eyes of the cops not Pablo.
It clearly says in the beginning that some of the things were change in the Narcos series. Meaning not everything they show on narcos really happened or even existed.
I think the tortures were wayyy more gruesome to be publically picturised. But it happened. Humans did that to humans. It should be shown right away, not hidden. People are becoming cowards.
You aint brave just because you watch a gruesome picture of human bodies for the sake of just wanting to watch it. And this is a show for the entertainment of a generall public not a documentary, but even so I think the depiction is good enough for what was shown in netflix.
@@akyro3042 Watching a gruesome video or seeing gruesome pictures like beheadings and terrorist attacks won't make you tougher lmao. You're not brave because you watch something gruesome...
Boardwalk empire did the same thing with Al Capone, picturing him as a caring loving father. Its so weird Hollywood idealizing these horrible people even making them super stars.
There's also another Pablo Escobar show on Netflix I think called 'Pablo Escobar el patrón del mal' I seen that one and then narcos and I personally found the vibe and feel in the patron del mal was better for me
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. Because anything legal can never match the profit margin of anything illegal. Pablo did not go for alcohol business, but had it been the years of prohibition, he would have gone for alcohol like al capone did , I think....
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 RUclips). 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.
Drugs are addictive to a much greater degree than alcohol, did opium become less of a problem in China after the opium wars forced them to legalise it. Drug traffickers would stay in the business they would just focus on marketing instead of supply.
This was the most important sentence that got me "guess where the right ear" it means even at his death the ppl who killed him was played under his plan to get killed 😮 dude that was the coolest death a person could have
alcohol is a poison too, legalization would be a good move because it would lower gang violence and violence and criminality overall, everyone makes choices, if i choose to do coke i can go out rn and get it, its up to everyone to make their own choices, dont tell me if coke was legalized mfs would go out and snort it just like that..
That's certainly a very naive way to look at drugs, you have to understand that there are drugs that are legal and socially acceptable even with evidence of high addiction and death tolls, the criminal activities around the drug trade is very much controlled when there is information available and treatment options... You cannot stop trade in the market when there is a constant demand (even if its illegal)
@@yeshuahdenazareth7868 im not a fuckin non brainer, you are obviously not from the states, where a lotta of deaths happen to drugs.. i never said that that's my opinion, I'm just giving a perspective, u just be on tha net calling people stupid like that, damn
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.
He’s probably regretting his entire life right now. Being tormented for eternity is not a nice way to enter the after life. I highly doubt this guys gonna get gods forgiveness .. how does god forgive a man who had zero forgiveness for others
Being one of the richiest men in the world and ending up broke is his biggest achievement in my opinions, like how do you do that. All he had to do is hide a couple of milion dollars somewhere and not tell any one.

Sounds to me like he commit suicide I saw an interview with Murphy and Pena Murphy says there's no way commit suicide because he would have had gunpowder burns on his face and they were no gunpowder Burns the interviewer asked him what's the difference he's dead anyway and Murphy said there's a big difference whether he was murdered or commit suicide so maybe he just does not want to admit it

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.
Great explanation. I was in Colombia for vacation the past month and had a few tours in Medellin. One in downtown and one in Comuna 13. It's incredible how many youngsters (born after Escobars death) adore him. The people like you who lived through the terror know better and the world deserves to know what kind of TRUE criminal he was.
@@GamingPotatoHD Yup, there were no car bombs in the comunas.
@@LesPaul2006 my guide in the downtown tour got shot by a drive by, twice in the leg and 10 of the 15 kids (10-15yr old) were killed. His uncle was also kidnapped for ransome money. Thats why its impossible to adore someone like escobar. Colombia is so beautiful man, best country i ever visited ❤️🙌🏼

Most people probably couldn't comprehend or process just how evil and cruel Escobar really was. Just remember, he blew an airliner out of the sky, killing everyone on board, in an unsuccessful attempt to kill one person who was supposed to be on the flight, but wasn't.
And the kid he sent was a young father who did it to financially secure his kid's future. He didn't even knew he was going to blow up the plane

The biggest surprise of this video is finding out Netflix was created in 1997
Is that a fact? 🤨
Same
They started as a mail order video rental service.
Netflix (with a different name) used to be a video-rental mail service in the US/UK - Apparently the founders always wanted to create Netflix, it was the initial idea, but in the '90s the tech didn't exist so they pivoted to mail-rental
I remember, they used to post dvds to you
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.
100%. He was a school drop-out criminal from an early age and the women in her family (mom, aunts and wife) pampered and tended to him so much that he did not see the necessity to have an honest life ever.
If they could have excelled in business they would have been able to get into it. I remember in Lord of War, when Yuri tried to go clean the margins were not big enough to satisfy his ego. So he went right back into gun running
You can't say he was bad at business when he was one of the most successful drug dealers in all of history, you have to have some sense of business to become that successful, even if a lot of that business is done through violence and intimidation. Most legal billionaires got there by playing dirty too.
@ectric4842 Dude he came from a poor family, you're acting like he had no need to make money because he was pampered to. Most criminals are school dropouts who were criminals from an early age, lots of them were not pampered to, it's really not a factor in determining if someone will be a criminal. This is also no determination if he is good or bad at business, to say the most successful drug dealer of all time wasn't good at business is silly.
maybe not that much, but surely he would've been one of succesful men without doubt
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.
It’s listed in the drama section, it’s not a documentary. Tell me one person that has “ignored” the downed airliner.
You are upset over what you think others think. Ask anybody what they think about the bad things he did.
I can guarantee you that you won’t find anyone that thinks highly of it.
Regardless, it doesn’t matter. The damage is done, it has been for decades. Much worse things have happened, why are you ignoring the holocaust? How about the other billions of deaths that have happened before
When I visited Colombia, we also went to Medellin. We took a walking tour there. Our guide told us so much about the Escobar time. How you shouldn't say his name in the streets now because of all the misery that happened. How he hated Narcos for being way too inaccurate. 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. While I loved Narcos, it's important to emphasize the fact that what really went down is so so so much worse than how it's depicted in the series.

I'm Colombian I was 3 when he was killed, however I can say that this person was the worst thing that ever happened to Colombia, not only because he killed so many innocent people, had private parties with virgin underage girls, create a horror situation in the country but because he open a door of the worst situation that we still face in our country, this person made the drug trafficking our biggest way of income not only with criminals but it has a great impact in our political scenario. No he was not any kind of idol, and please stop adoring him.
were your parent afraid of him when he was alive?
USA destroyed middle eastern countries with Wars, then with terrorist they made and then with drugs. As like that, they destroyed the Latin america with drugs and making people like Pablo an idol, for adults . "a way out of life".
@@migara_sen obviously they were
I have been hearing all these people talk about Escobar having raped/kidnapped 1000s of "Underaged" "Virgin-girls" and having "Rape Parties" for other Narco Men. I call BULLSHIT. The DEA, CIA, and Colombian Para-Militaries LOVE to tell just how Evil Pablo was. I mean, they love to give any detail about anything bad he did, so they hate him. I've NEVER heard of any Intel from the people who chased/killed him saying anything about him being a rapist of young girls. Ever.
@@migara_sen everyone was afraid !! not only of Pablo, it was mostly the terror and the chaos that he created All around the country. Bombs, kidnapping, executions etc. Besides, he was not the only one creating this ; the government involved, the cartel del valle del cauca ( enemies of Pablo ). So he was not the only one we were scared of, it was the whole situation that still permeates our country. So no, Pablo Escobar was not a leader, nor a person to admire. La narco cultura es y será uno de nuestros peores flagelos en Colombia.

This is actually what most families are going through, tax and rents takes almost what they got monthly, leaving them with no savings
The way Escobars son is always talking about how his dad was a saint makes me so mad, when he himself had a front row seat to his dads disgusting evil actions.
He’s never done that for what he’s done as a criminal but as a dad
I am glad that someone actually made this video, although there have been many documentaries that details Pablo Escobar's reign of terror that came out prior to the release of the Netflix series, there were still people who grew to admire this guy when the series came out. There was one guy on a radio show in my country who even labelled this guy as "a victim of the system". What a joke.
Which is crazy cuz the show paints him as the ruthless monster he was people are just brain dead. It's the same thing with the sopranos. They don't realize the show was demonizing people like that. The creator and the director loaths them and refers to them as the "hits and tits" crowd meaning thats that the only thing they watch the show for.
You can still admire him even tho he made bad things

@@archingelus ikr… Good & Evil is just perspective

@@archingelus I agree that it's a point of view of the creator, but while watching you could see yourself in their situation and feel powerful or otherwise( in this case narcos) you are not watching the POV at that point you're yourself the character, now you live the character & feel good when character wins and bad when he's in his lows. 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.
You'd think the 99th Italian architect would've heard something about his compatriots dying in Colombia and maybe wouldn't have gone there to build a house.
Roberto Escobar's book "The Accountant's Story" is a fantastic read and actually introduced me the world of Escobar. It always bothered me that Roberto had no presence in the Narcos series.
You should read his son's. It's actually really well balanced. You can feel the conflict between loving his father and knowing that this same person was responsible for some horrendous things.
He had a roll in Pablo Escobar, El Patron del Mal , which is co produced by family members of some of the victims. It’s very good and super accurate.
That's true
Appreciate it Pablo 😂
Pablo ?
Pablos Alive!!!!

Pablo!
They shouldn’t romanticize him too much. Everyone and everything was expendable to him if it got in the way of business. It’s more interesting to explore how a person can go down that road to the point where it’s just the new normal.
You are romanticing him in your head
@@presikr1370 No. It says a lot about the human condition
Personaly, i think the narcos did 50/50 when it comes to romanticizing stuffs
Yes they did tried to portay him as person we can relate with, buuut as season 1 progress. When the avianca bombings and his war with the police, it becomes clear that he was slowly but surely becomes this evil maniacs we've come to know
Yeah I remember years back, I had come across some meme that used a shot of the actor playing Escobar from the show. I'm not great at Spanish, but the meme was in Spanish and I was pretty sure I knew what it meant and it was nothing over the top, so I posted it on FB. One of my friends from Colombia was upset, since her family/friends were directly affected by Escobar and company during that era. 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. I was so embarrassed that I just told her, "not much".
Jajajajajaja you poor people are silly...
Amazing video. I’ve been studying Pablo for a few years now and this video is on point. I also recommend Sebastian Marroquin’s book “Mi Padre” de Juan Pablo Escobar.
Americans are still not tired of hearing about Pablo.... Wish the royalties from his story, went to help actual Colombians.
In his early years as a gangster he made a name for killing the family members of his enemies, which struck way more fear, than just killing a man. If that doesn't tell you what kind of cold-hearted bastard he was, nothing will...

Second if you need to go after someone's family to scare them, then you are the pussy. You are a weak pathetic pussy who can't even scare someone themselves. Going after someone's innocent family is like the ultimate pussy move.
Escobar in the show really is sympathetic and I found myself rooting for him at times which is crazy but that's what TV does. Look at the godfather, goodfellas, sopranos and any other organised crime media, its all romanticised shit to entertain you. Taking any of it at face value is just stupidity
That's because these are the people who run the world, that's why they make "Orange Man Bad" and Escobar good.

Pablo Escobar's son came to Brazil and talked about this serie. I like this serie, but he said that he has offered, for free, familiar documents and stuffs, and the people behind this serie said something like:"Sorry, but I think that we know a little bit more about Pablo Escobar than you(Pablo Escobar's son). He was talking about the romatization of the drug dearling.
If you're interested in this interview, it was at "The Noite com Danilo Gentili", the interview was with Juan Pablo Escobar. It's in portuguese and it doesn't have English Subtitles, but if you speak portuguese or spanish, I recommend it.

Eu não sei falar portugues
Another good one with Sebastián's first person amounts is a documentary called Sins of my Father. It shows him going back to Colombia for the first time after they ran away from there
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.
Drug money flows to the local economy. It is honestly as simple as that.
If you lived in Columbia you’d understand
talking about something that happens in only one city is not talking about all of colombia, in medellin, where escobar was from, many people, especially the poor people love him, but the rest of colombia does not! so just a situation that you lived, does not mean that he is a celebrity.

Thank you for this video. I never watched the Netflix series. I don't like criminals being glamorized.
The acting for Pablo was superb. Very real.
I've seen plenty of videos of what the cartels get up to. One that sticks in my mind involved a police officer and his young teenage son. The police officer had refused this particular cartel's offer to become corrupt for them. They kidnapped him and his son. The boy was made to watch whilst his dad had his head cut off. 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. Those who think a bit of coke on a night out is harmless fun should watch such videos.
thank you!

The Netflix series about Escobar had nothing to do with portraying Escobar accurately, it had to do with generating profits. It's about giving the viewers what they want to see over what actually is. Leaving those 10 things out is about marketing, nothing more nothing less.

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.

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.
Lol. My family has had a Netflix account since then. We used to get this pamphlet every month with like 100 movies. Make your selections and send in pamphlet, few days later dvds arrived in the mail. Good old days
I'm really impressed how this guy puts that much effort into pronouncing correctly the names in spanish. Great video! - Greetings from Colombia.
“El patrón del mal” also in Netflix, way better and more realistic than “Narcos”. If you want to really know about Escobar, watch the real thing
💯
Most people aren’t looking to completely understand the man’s life but get a general view and something entertaining they can waste time on to watch. Narcos is better at doing that.
el patron del mal is the reason i havent bothered watching narcos in the first place lol
@@luigiramirez1974 same
It’s more comprehensive but also feels way more of a telenova compared to Narcos.
Interesting. Thanks.
I met Don Roberto, went to the house where Pablo had his last birthday, had a good chat with Don Roberto and he was very hospitable to me and my ex missus. He said Netflix was way off the mark and made many fantasy scenarios which made it Hollywood tv he said.
We went literally as Narcos was in its final season so they hype was great.
When we got back home from our tour of South America, I didn’t realise they gravity of Don Roberto in reality and his part. I know what was said to me and it was totally different to what we see on Netflix, totally different lol
Well, I'm Colombian, and I was a teenager in the '90s, and I remember Government was so subdued to the Carteles, Bombs every day, and death people due to the war between Carteles, Guerrilla, Paramilitaries.
I mean it is shown so many times in the show that he wasnt a good person and killed so many people that were completely innocent so idk how people after watching the show think he was somehow a good person
Even tho they showed us he wasn’t good person in the show ..still they made us like him and I personally after watching the show I almost went in tears when pablo was shot💯
@@juzgod3228 just because you liked him doesn’t mean he was a good guy, if the main character is not likable it will not be a good show
I Wish Pablo Escobar would be a Life.
Yes its crazy when people idolized him in narcos bcoz i dont get the same effect from them n still despise him to death
I feel like the only people idolizing him are young teenage boys, they'll grow out of it
Good video.
Thankyou
Such a good video
Biggest Lie Netflix did was Saying The Intro Song was Pablo's favorite song ..that song was made in 2015 Pablo never even heard that song
Fact....
Whoooosh?
You talking about Dos Gardenias? Because that song is mad old.
@@refresco No, the title song, Rodrigo Amarante's Tuyo. I've seen somewhere that Rodrigo wrote that with Pablo Escobar in mind, what he thought Pablo Escobar was trying to be; a man protecting his family (El castillo, la torre yo soy (I am the castle, the tower)). In the first series there is a scene that Pablo requests the song, singing along, which of course never happened.

I met and sat down with his brother Roberto in Medellin. Saw alot of Pablos stuff also that is shown in the videotapes of Pablo. His brother was blind and still lived in one of Pablos houses in Medellin. He does small tours now and I even got a shirt signed by him I have framed. I love history period.
I have had my home in Colombia since 2012 but have visited extensively since 2003...pretty much the end of Norte Del Valle which were remnants of the Cali Cartel. I love Colombia and prefer living there over the crap and insanity in the States anymore. Colombia is very peaceful and pleasurable place to live now.

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.
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.
Yeaah el patron is slow but makes sense also Pablos wife tata is just ooomph!!
That's inaccurate and actually the opposite: Teenagers openly killing police, hoping for some henchmen giving good word to Pablo about them. As a matter of fcat that's how he recruited "Arete", "Tyson" and "Titi". Loving Pablo was written by his "official" lover, Virginia Vallejo so take anything "good" with a grain of salt.
Netflix left out so much, should have been 1 more season before the fall of Pablo to get some more events in the show.
what`s an interesting story. great!
Found your channel a few days ago and I am really loving your content. 👍
My grandmother always said "keep attention to the game, else I will cheat without regret".
Great woman.
No one has portrayed Escobar better than Andrés Parra in the series El Patrón del Mal, also in Netflix.
20 seconds in. Flashing Dave Chapelle as a controversy. 🤣
Netflix gave Escobar this "Robin Hood" persona and while yeah he did some good things, he did it with drug money and he killed judges, police, and any rival. He used violence exclusively and mercilessly.
We're all the killing of the judges, police, and rivals included in the show?
@@drewcross9927 Yes, they were. For all the romanticization of Escobar in that Narcos show, it's more even-handed than they're making it out to be. It was made perfectly clear that while he did SOME good things, he was an unrepentant murderer and eventually became a terrorist who shot up and bombed the place and the people he initially wanted to protect.
Yeah, OK. What is drug money? He sold a product to people who wanted it. Cocaine is for rich businessmen and celebrities. The reason for the violence is because of the illegality of it. Just ho many people were killed during prohibition.
@@deansusec8745 Um... crack is for the poor and is the same product. I'm not sure what your point is here. That if it wasn't illegal people wouldn't die over it? That's just wrong. Escobar, while doing somethings for the benefits of his community, would have broken laws anyways for the sake of making more money. Even if it was legal, he would probably killed people he thought was competition solely because it interfered with his income. He was beyond wealth. Yet he continued to kill and destroy lives to make more. It was about greed, but the illegality of the drug.
People who were in colombia would disagree .
He wasn’t never a Robin Hood
He bought the people and gave to them so he make them feel forever indebted to him in order for him to recruit young people to work for him .
That’s the truth that so called Escobar researchers fail see .
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
It’s still unbelievable to me how regular Pablo looks. He looks like a regular dad.
‘The Last Narc’ (Amazon Prime) documentary is the best explanation of what was really behind Escobar and Narcos.
Narcos was HEAVILY fictionalized. I'm fine with a little fictionalization, but come on.... Carillo didn't exist, Blackbeard didn't, Ivan wasn't killed my Pablo, No search bloc cops were killed during the final raid on Pablo and much more
that's why it called a "show"
You were there I suppose??
I was there for drugs to be illegal so they can extort money from people and put people in jail..Imagine being grown and it being your life, and making your own decisions. glad i can drink,smoke cigarettes and eat the anti freeze and other chemicals in our food
You know that star wars didn't actually happen a long time aga in a galaxy far far away, right?
That’s because Carrillo is based on Hugo Martinez
My friend's parents also used to cheat at games they played with their sons and their son's friends, like me. I couldn't believe that an adult would do that to a kid. Both of their sons ended up felons for cheating their clients and the government. Not the best idea.
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.
After watching narcos i fell in love with pablo escobar's personality
Pablo would've loved Twitter 🤣🤣
I don't think they allow phones in jail
@@thetideishighandsoami3928 When you make your own jail they do
The best Pablo series is called, el patrón del mal is the most look alike actor too so the movie is on point
Also the bullet that was used to kill himself was a german calibre and not used in Colombia by neither the military or the national police. He had a german handgun...I cant remember which exact handgun it was but it was german made.
Sig Sauer
Hell of a nice bloke , he used to travel programs with rick steeves before he started dealing
Narcos is far from accurate even one of his hitmen named Popeye has said it, El Patron del mal which is another show about him is way more accurate in almost everything even on how they look. I mean Andres Parra the guy who played Escobar looks just like him
He looks like he's playing a pedophile.
Well Narcos is more about the Government side of the story with Pablo details added on to it. I always saw the show through the eyes of the cops not Pablo.
Narcos is amazing.
It clearly says in the beginning that some of the things were change in the Narcos series. Meaning not everything they show on narcos really happened or even existed.
@@WatEvasCleva24 i know, thats why im saying that the series of El Patron Del Mal is wayy more accurate
I think the tortures were wayyy more gruesome to be publically picturised. But it happened. Humans did that to humans. It should be shown right away, not hidden. People are becoming cowards.
It's like pictures of the concentration camps, humans did that, we should not be ignorant about how depraved humans can truly be.
You aint brave just because you watch a gruesome picture of human bodies for the sake of just wanting to watch it. And this is a show for the entertainment of a generall public not a documentary, but even so I think the depiction is good enough for what was shown in netflix.
I love u for writing this!

Boardwalk empire did the same thing with Al Capone, picturing him as a caring loving father. Its so weird Hollywood idealizing these horrible people even making them super stars.
the show is just so good that it makes people fall in love with the story and the chatacter itself, although he was actually an awful man

There's also another Pablo Escobar show on Netflix I think called 'Pablo Escobar el patrón del mal' I seen that one and then narcos and I personally found the vibe and feel in the patron del mal was better for me
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. Because anything legal can never match the profit margin of anything illegal.
Pablo did not go for alcohol business, but had it been the years of prohibition, he would have gone for alcohol like al capone did , I think....
Agree. Thats why the mobsters went from alcohol to drugs the moment the prohibition ended in the 1920's
Well said.
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 RUclips). 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.
Drugs are addictive to a much greater degree than alcohol, did opium become less of a problem in China after the opium wars forced them to legalise it. Drug traffickers would stay in the business they would just focus on marketing instead of supply.
El Padron del Mar is the closest thing to reality about Don Pablo.
What’s that
El Patron del Mal*
El patron del mar literally means the patron of the sea
Lol spelled check I didn't realize it 😅
i never thought a youtube top 10 list video would ask me such a serious question like should cocaine be legal...
This was the most important sentence that got me "guess where the right ear"
it means even at his death the ppl who killed him was played under his plan to get killed 😮
dude that was the coolest death a person could have
When you quoted that Pablo himself told his son that Cocaine is poison then arguing legalization of it would be a no brainer.
alcohol is a poison too, legalization would be a good move because it would lower gang violence and violence and criminality overall, everyone makes choices, if i choose to do coke i can go out rn and get it, its up to everyone to make their own choices, dont tell me if coke was legalized mfs would go out and snort it just like that..
That's certainly a very naive way to look at drugs, you have to understand that there are drugs that are legal and socially acceptable even with evidence of high addiction and death tolls, the criminal activities around the drug trade is very much controlled when there is information available and treatment options...
You cannot stop trade in the market when there is a constant demand (even if its illegal)
You are a no-brainer.
Watch less videos, read more books.
@@yeshuahdenazareth7868 im not a fuckin non brainer, you are obviously not from the states, where a lotta of deaths happen to drugs.. i never said that that's my opinion, I'm just giving a perspective, u just be on tha net calling people stupid like that, damn

Wow! Knew that the dude from Blow was involved with pablo but i really didn’t anticipate a bit about George Jung in here
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.
He’s probably regretting his entire life right now. Being tormented for eternity is not a nice way to enter the after life. I highly doubt this guys gonna get gods forgiveness .. how does god forgive a man who had zero forgiveness for others
In netflix, this is a series. I'm hooked.
Being one of the richiest men in the world and ending up broke is his biggest achievement in my opinions, like how do you do that. All he had to do is hide a couple of milion dollars somewhere and not tell any one.
