Escobar is proof that the only way to get a group of people to be loyal to you is to take care if their needs like he did in his hometown. He was a monster and was able to get an entire city on his side

[@viceralman8450]

"entire city" more like poor people of a specific area, the rest of the city wanted him death.

[@Hero_Of_Canton]

@@viceralman8450 you mean the poor and dejected people he showed kindness too that others wouldn't even spit on? Js loyalty shouldn't be that easily swayed

[@viceralman8450]

@@Hero_Of_Canton Kindness are you 11? He did it for interest to turn the sons of this people into assassins for hire and their daughters of mules and prostitutes. Americans are gullible as one can be. 🤣🤣

The documentary "Killing Palo" was a really good insight into his criminal empire. I suggest you watch it. He changed Colombian law to bend to his will. Built his own prison & could leave all his will. He sold more drugs while in his own "prison" than beforehand. Wild stuff.

[@rexrockefella4586]

If you can understand Spanish, the best would be "Patron del Mal" on Netflix...truly unbeatable

[@hacatkilo582]

Thank you for the tutorial!!! 10/10, detailed, and simple explanation. Will most likely share this useful info to my family. 😆😆😆👍👍👍

[@Za_Huncho]

In the future, there’s gonna be an uncharted game to find Pablo’s hidden treasure.

[@juantorres-zt3pd]

I'm from Medellín and I live in Medellin. I really enjoyed the video, typically dont watch Pablo videos because I've seen it all before and I want to say that people in Medellin didn't like him. Yes there still is a neighborhood in Medellin named after him and he helped the poor but people during that time lived in constant fear because Medellin at one point was the most dangerous city in the world. So most people didn't really like him.

[@standyourground9973]

the ends usually never justify the means, all the damages to businesses and residential areas from cartels, imagine

I was born in Medellin Colombia and even though,I’m thankful for have served in the U.S Marines 🙌

[@Hueys_are_the_best_heli]

[@SUPREETH.]

Nice video

[@gustavoalonsoramosrubio2440]

It would be great a video of how criminal organizations worked today in Mexico and how much they learned from cartels like Medellin or Cali.

[@painthuret]

You cant do that

[@asherjohnson6678]

@@painthuret why not

[@painthuret]

@@asherjohnson6678 because nowadays cartels are way smarter than the ones depicted in the Netflix shows, exposing their ways would put a target on whoever does it

[@ChineduOpara]

@@painthuret Seconded.I researched Colombia (and I just moved here, haha)... My understanding is that the drug cartels have made major moves towards being: Less Visible, More High Tech, More Integrated With - and Protected By - Locals.

If Pablo Escobar wasn't so evil and insane he could've lived even today

[@raoulstevens5483]

You missed to talk about gustavo gaviria, he too was important in escobar's rise, with actual connections gustavo was the one who maintained and always made profits

[@matthewwarbington5135]

And Pablo Escobars brother Gustavo and Pablo Escobar where the cartels main accountants

If y’all liked this, Narcos on Netflix is amazing.

[@ginnar8702]

This video is just a recapped animated version of it 👌

[@masterimaginariumdooblepop7592]

Pablo Escobar was one of the few we could call a real life supervillain. The man was basically a real life Wilson Fisk.

[@zakahmed9593]

Wilson Fisk wishes he was even anything like Pablo Escobar

[@cyprezz_]

antihero

[@fusedfire8774]

I like the new animations

[@TheUnknownUser1]

If he wasn't so worried about trying to be apart of his government and having that spot light on him he probably would still be here today

[@1980syuppie]

How loyal will you go ig

[@murderlesson101]

This animation maakes me wonder why American dad hasnt done a narcos escobar thing lol. It seems like something stan would do

[@HaughtyHedonist]

Why Is It That Most Of The Time When People Do Videos On Pablo,They Forget To Mention That He Was Griselda's Protege? Put Some Respect On Her Name. Escobar Wouldn't Have Became The Kingpin We Know Him As Without Her.

[@balabanasireti]

Meh. Also, Why Do You Write Like This When It Is So Annyoing?

[@negroleague2]

Some say he worked for her some say she worked for him. Thats one story ill never understand.

Am I the only one that caught the “more money more problems” refrence

Cool

[@mrbull569]

I have to say, the cartoon of Escobar is hysterical! He looks so friendly as a cartoon character. It reminds me of the old saturday morning cartoon lineup, just with narcos

[@jeanpayano1506]

To this day is absurd the amount of power he gained considering where he started also is mindblowing how he took a war at the goverment and actually lasted that long

[@andrewfriedman3947]

That’s what happens when cops will take a bribe to look the other way

Sometimes Hollywood imitates life. Check out the movie " Clear and present danger" .

[@Slayerton8406]

hey i do not know if you do these but i have a request i want you guys to do a video about how to create you own army or own Law enforcement in the us and get govr,t funding without going to prison

[@user-wh2nt5ce5r]

Well for starters you will probably need some political pull or a sizable initial investment to get a law firm or two under you for seconds you'll need to make a government body an offer to start up a task force for some purpose and keep pushing it through higher and higher government body's untill you get lucky I suppose

[@davidjakiela9553]

Basically you want to start a private security firm like Blackwater. Can't remember what they are called now. Other guy is right. It takes alot of $ and political pull. You want to be able to bid on government security contracts. If your intent is to build an army here in America start a club. Use it to recruit members. It can be a sci Fi club. Doesn't really matter but the more boaring it sounds the better, less attention. Old lunchbox club. Use it to direct members to a particular on line game. Something millions play. Use game chat for sensitive topics. Most filters used on Facebook and KZbin look for key words like bomb, gas , nuke, drug ....avoid them. Come up with your oun words for each used. Good luck.

[@alveer2412]

a feature on mexican cartel should be featured next, where cartels and terrorist are one and the same.

Was just watching narcos yaaa

[@phyrexian_dude4645]

My parents lived during the worst betwen 92 - 93 in Bogotá. My mom told me that you could hear bombs exploding daily and adding the bounty he put on ALL police officers (something like 300 USD for a regular cop and doubling the reward the higher the rank) the shootouts were constant, so fear was the daily thing until he was shot dead.
