I am Colombian who lived those hard times, i am part of the " lost generation " 85- 95 i have seeing some of my childhood friends dead, for stupid and pity things, life was sell for a very cheap price and everyone had a chance to get a gun even when you were as young as 10 years old, my uncle was killed by a bomb the cartel planted in a very known bakery in Medellin. Escobar was an evil Robin hood, he built neighborhoods for the poorest people then took their kids as soldiers. So much blood was spilled for the greed of the politicians who would benefit from these monsters. Popeye was a cold blood assassin, who killed even his own girlfriend just to silence her. Popeye died few years back, he was send to prison again and died in there of cancer in 2020. Some of these images bring sadness and bad memories of those days.
I used to watch Popeye on some documentaries. He was cold blood, he ain't sorry for nothing. I'm really sorry to read bad news on your uncle. I hope you can find light in this situation, I am sure it's still on going conflict in Colombia.
@@TwinkieCakey that is only guy who openly talk, even popeye only spoke to his own people, NOT TO GRINGOS.. i keep saying this, these people from latin america, these cartel remembers, they dont talk to americans, they only talk and hang around their own people this isnt mafia where mob is talking to singer, and NBA star, nooo..they only friends with famous people in their countries, talk to narco corrido singers or banda singers...
100% government corruption that enabled Escobar and others like him. The army could have taken Pablo out any time they wanted, but the corrupt officials and generals choose not to. They could have also made a deal with Pablo to stop the violence and let him sell drugs or put him in some well paying government position "he did try to run as a president on his own" This is why crime is happening in poor countries as the leaders rob the people. Welfare countries do not have serious gun and drug problems since they take care of the poor people.
In the beginning he talks about how he switches cars and apartments all the time, at the end he said he has no apartment, no money, nothing. Guess it’s hard to keep track of all the lies.
i mean i dont live in that county so im just gonna assume theres something more to his popularity than being the guy who either killed or had in a hand in killing thousands of people.
Btw, I was friends with a girl there that's parents were killed by Escobar's men. They killed the dad first, the mom tried to run but they got her a few days later. The girl was an infant at the time and her aunt took her and they fled to a farm to hide out. While they glorify this guy, he killed a lot of people and so did his men. Some colombians are NOT celebrating this guy.
@user-iq2ls1eg5g Most of those targeted by them were innocent people. People who refused to be bought off or police officers and their families. If you knew the story about Pablo or if you listened carefully to this video, you would know this. Even though I dislike Pablo I feel it was a huge mistake for the DEA to remove him and the Cali cartel. The storm that followed their departure was so much worse than having them in power. The people in this business are the worst of all humanity. It takes a strong, ruthless person to keep them in line.
@@AustinSydney-s4v She did not tell me that part. I assume there was some sort of business or interaction as he most likely didn't kill randoms. But she wouldn't know that as she was an infant when it happened and her aunt told her when she was old enough to understand it. She was such a sweet girl too, spoke good english. Last time I saw her she was selling her ass at Llleras park club. When I knew her she wouldn't have considered that.
As a doctor who worked for the California Prison System, Popeye possesses an abhorrent personality common among hard core criminal type. This is secondary to an abusive childhood & poor socialization . Popeye has faulty neurological processing resulting in an anti-social personality.
Not anymore, because he got wacked. TOP TIP: if you are a hitman and get out of prison, move out of town, dye your hair, change your name and have a good cover story. This fool walked around medellin soaking up his fame not realizing there were very wealthy families that had a hit out on him. I heard that first hand from a strata 6 girl. It was just a matter of time for him.
Colombia is a beautiful country. Don’t let that be the reason. the rest of the country hates him. Only the tiny amount of people in that section of Medellin respect him.
I have lived in Medellin for 15 years and the old narcos are not respected. The Colombian people are actually a very loving and gentle people. That was the poorest of barrios this was shot in.
"In 2018 he returned to prison on extortion charges and a subsequent conviction and in 2020 died while incarcerated." Now, Knowing this in mind and listening to him in this interview, makes it even more abhorrent and disgusting both to him as a person and the justice system that went after him for so long. Justice was not made for the victims' families by his country's justice system but truth took care of it anyway. He was never repentant truly at all.
Colombia is such a wonderful country with one of the most welcoming people, it always breaks my heart that they have been dealing with drug related violence for many decades
I went to bogota recently and I love Colombia. It is one of my favorite countries. I am going back in June. I felt safe and the Colombians are so nice and friendly. I made friends at my hotel there even though some did not speak English we used google translate to talk. They took me out and kept me safe the whole time I was there.

What justice did they create? This is they mentality of a self-absorbed person who refuses to grow up.

Only in a country like colombia a guy like this can walk free in public after doing all those terrible unspeakable crimes the country doesn’t have death penalty or life sentences this goes against the government interest the less people in jail the more money the politicians will have
In the U.S in the 90s the New York Mafia was taken down by use of the RICO act. So everyone including the hit men were charged with racquetering etc not the multiple murders they committed or ordered. They mostly were given sentences that have run their course and now have Podcasts and give interviews. I can think of 4 other examples off the top of my head. This is a thing that happens in many countries.

I have been in Colombia twice in the past year and a half and am going in 3 weeks again. It is wild, can be dangerous if you think it's Disneyland, but felt safer than many parts of California. Not once did I see or hear any mention of Escobar in Cartagena, Barranquilla, or Santa Marta. Colombia is so much more than that. The people are beautiful in every way. Many Venezuelans nopw and they are also beautiful human beings. I LOVE Colombia!

My first reaction is that these people must still think he would kill them if they show anything but gratitude for him being present. Pretty sad to see people taking selfies with him. Just hearing someone openly talking about having killed 250 people is so revolting, and he talkes about it as if it's nothing.
@user-fn7zw7wt4j Honoring anyone who has killed 250 people while being aware that he actually has done it, means you are acting in fear because you know it wouldn't mean anything to him to pop person 251. It's just a number to him. You're talking about prestige and power, and in his case what has that come from...? These people are terrified and act out of fear because they just try to do what they assume is expected. You got to understand what he represents, because prestige and power has not been taken out of thin air..
@user-fn7zw7wt4j They are vain people who care more about what other people think of them than what they think about themself, and that's why they want to be perceived as tough because they snapped a selfie with a killer. That is also an act driven by fear. They are afraid of what other people think so they try to impress with idiocy by approaching someone they fear. They still would rather approach him and show gratitude than openly ignore him, because you got to understand that these are just random interactions on the street and no planned event. All kickstarted out of fear...
@@GodplansnowTvchannel if he wasn't 30 then he must have been 29. He's 55 in this and it even says that Pablo has been dead 25 years,so that makes him either 29 or 30 at the time of Pablo's death
@tinysixowe I know that he's dead,what's that got to do with how old he was when he made this and his age when he started working for Pablo? When this was filmed he was 55 and Escobar had been dead 25 years so that made him either 29 or 30 ,depending on when his birthday was. The original comment said that he must have been a teenager when he was working for Pablo,so u was explaining to them his age at the time of Pablo's death.
Me as a Colombian I was there in the 80s and early 90s in medellin I wondered why we kept leaving Colombia back to the states but now know Escobar ruined my families restaurant and there is no insurance for terrorism there my family lost it all

Some see a killer with no regrets. Me,.I see a man who screams and has nightmares every night. A man whom has nothing else to be proud about. A sad,broken man trying to live and visit in a time that no longer exists... May he find peace one day

I remember quite clearly the day Pablo was killed. The images from the rooftop and all... I was 10, I remember feeling a sadness. I guess that says something about me, or said something about me. I knew Escobar was labeled a bad man, but He was glorified so much, and sensationalized that he seemed like a hero in a way . A legend for sure. To this day he is still legendary. What kind of a legand he is, is ones own view.
My strata 1 friends were shown the show "Narcos". They know right where it was filmed. They are fascinated by it. They were also very upset with our DEA agents posing with a dead Escobar like he was a trophy animal they just killed. Not saying anyone was right or wrong or right, that was what they thought of it.

Lllol,truth,but more interesting to me is how he managed to do all he says to survive without a substantial amount of money,yet here he is saying he doesn't have much and waring cheap clothing.
Bit contradictory right?
19:47 they made him wear a life jacket on the boat but no helmet on the bike, very good risk assessment.
There was nothing to protect in his head.
I am from Jamaica an he is like one of our living legend Christopher dudus coke... get the name an watch my history in jamaica 🇯🇲
On February 6, 2020, John Jairo Velásquez, known as "Popeye," passed away at the age of 57. Colombia's National Penitentiary and Prison Institute (INPEC) confirmed his death. Velásquez had been hospitalized for over a month due to stomach cancer.
Awesome.. This must be why the cocaine I’m getting is so pure now. Thank you for increasing the purity and removing those weird de-worming cuts. Americans have been complaining for decades about the trash coke you people push -but you have redeemed yourselves.
They send pure cocaine, it only gets stepped on when it hits the states.
What I don't like about this documentaries is that they don't make precise translations and even omit what is actually being spoken.
I noticed that too... I don't speak fluent Spanish, however I understand way more than I can speak.. The translations were close, but not always complete word for word
Good enough for you buddy 😅
There's only two hypothesis neither you guys don't don't speak fluent neither language I speak both equally so para mi es muy correcta la traduccion 😅😅
@@renemagana9123 you're deaf then. There's several times that they added the word fuck etc and the don't say any bad word at all. Sé castellano antes de que tu gente siquiera supiese de ello.
Crime is easy. Living a decent life is a challenge.
I live in Medellin and love it. DO NOT wear an Escobar t shirt here. The wonderful people that make up this great city have long buried him and his sick legacy.
Man that bug it was on him and he didnt even flinch now I know he’s real 😎👍🪳
Here before a million views
I have been in Colombia twice in the past year and a half and am going in 3 weeks again. It is wild, can be dangerous if you think it's Disneyland, but felt safer than many parts of California. Not once did I see or hear any mention of Escobar in Cartagena, Barranquilla, or Santa Marta. Colombia is so much more than that. The people are beautiful in every way. Many Venezuelans nopw and they are also beautiful human beings. I LOVE Colombia!
Hey. I plan first time this year going to columbia. Traveling with my gf. Do you have some "need to go places" for us. Some reconmantations. Would be nice. Greetz, Daniel from Germany
Colombians aren't into worshipping idols as much as Mexicans. The more compound the ignorance the more idol worship. Had it been in Mexico, they'd be worshipping him still, decades later.
Oh you didn't hear people talking about him? Maybe that's cause he's been dead for 20 years genius
Maybe oughta start thinking about legalizing cocaine in the US. How many politicians, influencers have NOT used it
Yeaaa great idea have a bunch of drug addicts on the road driving,
@@stevemill8959 lol its been proven when you make something legal it LESSENS the amount of addicts, destroys the black market, and makes the drugs much safer as they are tested and only approved pharma-grade sold. its your attitude that keeps this drug war going based on evidence to the contrary. study alcohol prohibition and how much we consumed during and after. further proves my point.
@@stevemill8959. How stupid are u. Their already driving around all the time. U think someone who’s doing drugs says I better not drive to go meet my dealer right now because I’m high and getting low on supplies. U live in fantasy land
@@stevemill8959 Driving under the influence isn't legal anywhere. What is your point?
Loyalty is the only thing that I admire in this Moster!

Monster thanks 🤝
He turned informant when he turned himself in .
The 80s was the best... ill give anything to go back 😢
so why?
good old days
not so fast.
Nope
Nice documentary
He died 3 years ago!
Good riddance..
Good riddance
Good riddance! 😅
RIp popeye my respeto
He's not dead! He lives in Miami Beach ⛱️,he just got Caught smuggling
he returned to jail in 2018 for some extortion charges and then died from cancer in 2020, he was quite famous youtuber in Colombia.
Well everyone of them should be fired because for the last 20 years the quality of cocaine has been so terrible I don't even know anyone that does it anymore! Your greed is going to lead to you going back to being a fruit picker
1000%, every time I get coke I instantly regret it. It's cut with so much bullshit.
Same. I didn’t quit drugs, drugs quit me. Over 80% purity in the 90’s to less than 20% 15-20 years later, and from what I hear, maybe 10% now.
I am OK in Spain...
40e. For weighed gm of rock...

My first reaction is that these people must still think he would kill them if they show anything but gratitude for him being present. Pretty sad to see people taking selfies with him.
Just hearing someone openly talking about having killed 250 people is so revolting, and he talkes about it as if it's nothing.
@user-fn7zw7wt4j Honoring anyone who has killed 250 people while being aware that he actually has done it, means you are acting in fear because you know it wouldn't mean anything to him to pop person 251. It's just a number to him.
You're talking about prestige and power, and in his case what has that come from...? These people are terrified and act out of fear because they just try to do what they assume is expected. You got to understand what he represents, because prestige and power has not been taken out of thin air..
@user-fn7zw7wt4j They are vain people who care more about what other people think of them than what they think about themself, and that's why they want to be perceived as tough because they snapped a selfie with a killer. That is also an act driven by fear.
They are afraid of what other people think so they try to impress with idiocy by approaching someone they fear.
They still would rather approach him and show gratitude than openly ignore him, because you got to understand that these are just random interactions on the street and no planned event. All kickstarted out of fear...
@@a8f235people honor us soldiers....
Man can yall be quiet please🤦🏽♂️
I've watched this documentary so many times!!
Good documentary. But why use a voice over when having perfect subs??
He gave up several times during this interview that he was very much into crime after leaving prison...
Love the ending ..
from a man who never had to work a day in his life ...
Wow he's still young. So when he was working with Pablo he must have been a teenager😮
He's 55 here and Pablo had been dead 25 years so he was 30 when Escobar died
Younger
@@GodplansnowTvchannel if he wasn't 30 then he must have been 29. He's 55 in this and it even says that Pablo has been dead 25 years,so that makes him either 29 or 30 at the time of Pablo's death
@@davidmellish3295he's dead. He died in 2020
@tinysixowe I know that he's dead,what's that got to do with how old he was when he made this and his age when he started working for Pablo?
When this was filmed he was 55 and Escobar had been dead 25 years so that made him either 29 or 30 ,depending on when his birthday was.
The original comment said that he must have been a teenager when he was working for Pablo,so u was explaining to them his age at the time of Pablo's death.
These are the guy's who would have known were the treasures are buried. Kept it for themselves until they died.
Sólo faltan subtitular en español y/o no doblar al inglés los diálogos en español por favor 😅
Me as a Colombian I was there in the 80s and early 90s in medellin I wondered why we kept leaving Colombia back to the states but now know Escobar ruined my families restaurant and there is no insurance for terrorism there my family lost it all
Lesson:
Making vices illegal, kills.
Fight crime, legalize drugs.
All of them.
Worked great in Kensington didn't it
@@dtiebel9794 legalize it and tax it like they did with tobacco and alcohol. Maybe the quality gets better then in stead of being laced with fentanyl.
@@dtiebel9794no idea 😢
@@dtiebel9794Drugs are still sold by organized criminals. Government have to sell pharmaceutical grade and safer drugs. It will not stop as long as drugs are sold by criminals.
Senor Escobar was right about cocaine being less strong and less addictive, their is always going to be people to take advantage.
its 2 fold, or even 3
people get used to it
they cut it
and then on top of that, people get addicted to what they cut it with
savage
theres no nice freindly dealer like will ferrell in other guys
Beautiful story.Thump's up
Glad to see your still up man.
The definition of a narcissist.
Absolutely ruthless 😂
Colombia; where a sociopathic psychopath is considered a celebrity.
You guys did a HORRIBLE job on INTERPRETING what he said.. !!!!
You couldn’t even PRONOUNCE the name of the CITY CORRECTLY!!!
His angel tells him be careful because there are cameras and he’s on parole.
I just made a comment but didn't know that he was dead already. It doesn't change my mind.May he rest in peace now.
Imagine how many people would still be alive if drugs were legalised- don’t get me wrong, drugs kill people and destroy lives, communities and also raise crime but not on the same scale the illegal trade in drugs does… in my opinion
100% I couldn't say that better then You. So thank You for pointing ☝️ 😊☝️ this out to ppl
@@lewiskunst1089 controlling what we can or can’t put in our bodies and restricting what people are allowed to grow, make or sell is one of the worse ways they limit our rights as free people. I suppose it leads to all the right people being killed and destroyed (in their opinion!!)
Overpopulation
Good documentary
Man like this never repent till they go to the grave...i had a friend just like him killing was just an ordinary walk to buy bread...
" I don't even trust my own shadow because it abandons me at night "
Once new a fisherman who found a bale off cocaine he never had to go fishing again used to hav jam jars at partys and give it away to this day no one has found his stash apart from when his wife gave a set off golf clubs to a charity shop and 10 bricks off it was found but he had died no further charges
Nice one Jay (inbetweeners) 😂😂
Lose the English translator, it’s nice to listen to his real voice even if I don’t understand the language
Yeah, there was subtitles already, so why bother with the dub too...
Ironically strange that they’re all god fearing folk
Do they ever get to the, "New Barons"? I'll wait for answer before continuing to watch.
Some see a killer with no regrets. Me,.I see a man who screams and has nightmares every night. A man whom has nothing else to be proud about. A sad,broken man trying to live and visit in a time that no longer exists... May he find peace one day
He's already dead and for sure in hell now. Died 2020
Once you have seen a certain level of violence you never sleep right again. People think violence is cool until you can see the faces of the people you've hurt in your nightmares.
@@dealerslicenseopsKarma my friend, Karma. Im not so sure anyone can witness something horrific and see it in their head or dreams
@@dealerslicenseopsyou really don’t see there faces who told you that 😂😂😂
Definitely. This comment touched me very much man.
Un Tío sincero no es un hipócrita como la gran mayoría de la gente de hoy. A mi me cae muy bien gente como el. Tuviera yo amigos así en el día de hoy para seguir adelante neste país de miérda. Que le vaya bien 👍
Estas loco, ese es un monstro no una persona sensiya
How can u show respect to a murderer or is it because of fear they do it
No its not fear the cartels create jobs for the poor simple as that
because no one cares, it was not their love one who die. life continues.
This guy was born in the perfect place for his way of life.
A person's own conscience punishes him/her. Even the cynical can go unpunished if they don't have even the slightest sense of guilt.
I remember quite clearly the day Pablo was killed. The images from the rooftop and all... I was 10, I remember feeling a sadness. I guess that says something about me, or said something about me. I knew Escobar was labeled a bad man, but He was glorified so much, and sensationalized that he seemed like a hero in a way . A legend for sure. To this day he is still legendary. What kind of a legand he is, is ones own view.
Respect
My strata 1 friends were shown the show "Narcos". They know right where it was filmed. They are fascinated by it. They were also very upset with our DEA agents posing with a dead Escobar like he was a trophy animal they just killed. Not saying anyone was right or wrong or right, that was what they thought of it.
❤ $☠️😎$❤👌
I generally don’t vilify cartel bosses but Pablo did kill thousands of innocent ppl lol. Quite literally blew a plane out of the sky
@@dealerslicenseopsHe was way worse than animal, a selfie is nothing compared to his deeds.
I got a Popeyes commercial while watching this 😂
just like coke, once you pop you cant stop
I was adopted from Bogota when I was 3 months old. 🇨🇴✊🏽

I mean if you can have parties all night, with girls and alcohol and need to have energy to not fall asleep and then wake up and do important stuff. Alot of people would try or do coke, especially if they have the money to pay for it.
Popeye is not rotting in hell alongside Pablo.
Hope Colombians live more peacefully now
It turns out Popeye was more like a servant. he was a low rank servant. That's what people that knew him and worked with him.😂
No low rank is always beside you
F’ing guy didn’t even make narcos that says everything 🤣🤣🤣🤣 loser
Lmao popeye was always by pablos side he is one his top hitmen
Nah he was at the top
Thank you for all your hard work
I can't believe some of those people said respect him. This guy? Is the a devil.he's a devil?
This killer almost got away from many crimes, but at least his tomb is in prison instead of Medellin,
here is the thing folks will do a lot of shit when it comes down to being able to afford a shirt. " I just kill and that's it " wow no way this guy should be walking free
