Pablo Escobar - Drug baron and local saint - 21 March 08

[bobsanchez007]

see who ever says that happiness can't be bought obviously aren't that rich to actually experience buying,building "football Fields,schools,and houses" so i am glad that there was somebody with enough balls to show everybody everywhere to properly spend money especially the rich millionaires and maybe they will stop complaining about how there golden toilet seat is not temperature controlled.

[Beefer413]

so thats where all my money went

[lepivlade]

same old USA propagand

[rafael77687able]

he gaint respect with fear...

[powercard1]

ye got what he deserved guy was a drug baron murdered woman kids he is no hero just a low down murdering f a g should of put more bullets in him when they got the rat.

[evolawonder]

@powercard1 sounds like US TROOPS

[Etrajbe]

@powercard1 what? are u describing the Marine corps?

[poopalover]

not sure about escobar but i would def bang the presenter for a couple of lines

[1408alan]

Escobar was one of the nastiest people of the 20th century, a heartless and evil psychopath responsible for literally thousands of deaths whilst he made himself rich. Peoples' lives meant nothing to him, they were all expendable in his sick mind. That's the bottom line. How anyone can ignore the depths of his depravity, or seek to make some kind of hero out of him, is truly beyond me. For the love of God, he proved time and again he was utterly ruthless and EVIL Such a man is lower than a rat.

[raymith2012]

I find it hard to believe that he perform those charitable deeds on a sense of civic duty. I really do believe given his nature those good deeds were performed out of a sense of self preservation. Can't blame the beneficiaries though, how many people would honestly say no if Charles Manson or Geoffry Dahmer offered them a free house and a soccer field for the kids?

[RagingBubuli]

Columbia got a lot of Bitches.

[spacecop67]

Thats amazing.An Angel? How many people that man killed? Drug war in Miami. at least 100,000. His conscoius was getting to him so he built football stadiums and gave houses away and then later that day he killed somebody .Angel? No he was no christian.

[Renanjiujitsufull]

São uns filhos da puta, falam falam, mas pra onde vai a maioria da droga produzida na america latina?(Europa), aonde tem pais que legaliza droga?(Europa).

Pau no cu dos europeus de merda que querem mostrar que a america latina é um inferno na terra.

Teresa Bo is a hot chick

[pusher1012000]

hes a good man

[jendeh1000]

Say what you want, but one thing holds true. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[RyaannWheatley]

If you even out the murders he carried out compared to the interfering bastards from reagans government and the columbian government and the affiliates of the government, or things that the government could've stoppped but didn't, it doesn't even compare, also el patron did more for the people of columbia than the government ever did before and ever did after I imagine. That's not even taking into account his intelect and wit to evade the most powerful government in the world for 10 years.

[daniel199025013]

noojodaaaaa ke viva el narcotraficoooo

[NedamSvoje]

El Patron Don cocaina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[shutupstupid9]

so can murder people and children as long as you by people homes and give them money they will love you ! wow people are real assholes

[gonner709]

@shutupstupid9

your name says it all... shut up stupid.

you can be good and do bad things, just as you can be bad and do good things.

the world isn't black and white and neither are complex social issues.

go fuck yourself asshole.

[hil001profile]

Common criminal if you ask me. Intelligence community should have dealt with him long ago, before he became so powerful.

[sigurjong]

I got no problem with cocaine or drugs of any kind. If the people want them, they should be able to get them legally and not through people like Pablo Escobar who want to operate above the law. Escobar wasn't evil, but he wasn't an angel either. Anybody who wants to play judge and jury by murdering people they don't like deserves to rot slowly in a 7 by 12 foot cell.

[OGHOST10]

if u dont know what is live in poverty u dont know shit , pablo escobar ayudo a mucha gente lo que los politicos no haces

[meatspice]

PABLO ESCOBAR PUT MEXICO AND THE CARRABIEN IN THE HU$TLE!

[citizenfitz]

The US government doesn't like competition.

[horriblemen]

he did good and bad things, both of which cant be forgotten.

[hcg2693]

Escobar was kind of like the columbian Robin Hood. Giving his fortune etc to the poor and needy.

[thepatron713]

VIVA PABLO ESCOBAR Y COLOMBIA

[deltaalpha21074]

Escobar was for the people--- Govt is filled with crooked greedy bastards.....Your Leaders want you poor so they feel like Gods.

[pitxoncita]

Pablo Escobar THE KING i miss you

[karaloca]

"Drug Baron & Local Saint"

That made me laugh - sounds like something from Monty Python.

[REVFRENZY]

[IndianSettler]

India needs a guy like Pablo Escobar too to fill up the gap between upper and lower class.

[djalminha5899]

el padron

[ASPEN1WRITER]

i saw pablo escobar on americas most wanted he got captured i guess

[inkdinokc75]

He never was captured. He was killed.

[dunleakelleher]

@inkdinokc75 yes he was. didn't he build his own 3 walled prison.

[IndianSettler]

@dunleakelleher Yes, it was 3 sided fenced prison actually.

[IndianSettler]

@ASPEN1WRITER Where did you see him on the most wanted list? He wasn't captured. He was killed the cross fire. He was firing at the window that he jumped out off thinking that police would come from there, while COPS fired at him from sideways, blowing his head off.

[ASPEN1WRITER]

@IndianSettler BUT I REMEMBER LIKE A LONG TIME AGO THO HE WAS A COCAINE DRUG TRAFFICER THATS WHY HE WAS WANTED FOR BUT I SAW HIM ON AMW ALONG TIME AGO

[ecfeitosa]

God. what a ignorant people. Escobar killed a lot of people. But they still love him... WHAT A BUNCH OF A-HOLES !

Escobar Burn in HELL !

[GlowaMightyVibes]

RElligion killed more and more people love it so STFU and think again who's ignorant.

[Ergoagent]

you are a fucking ignorant.,

they love him because he was kind to the people,

he gave more than the government ever did, he buildup towns and gave a lot to charity,.

that's why they love him.

but then again he got what he got for being a drug lord.

[dunleakelleher]

@ecfeitosa ya the people who really loved him was the coke heads in the US.

[CMob09]

The Colombian goverment were to blame, it's a lesson to all countrys not to keep their people in poverty.

[azrial4421]

Just a business guy that wouldnt let authority tell him what to do, gotta respect that.

[throwerofturds]

@azrial4421

funny who you respect . i think your head is fucked

[azrial4421]

@throwerofturds is a lil bit, just completely hate authority and gov.

[throwerofturds]

@throwerofturds

have you viewed "argentinas economic crash" parts 1 to 12  and Adrian Salbuchis stuf ?

[garygroundwork]

comparing Pablo to Hitler is outrageous ans completely idiotic.

[jersonmajin]

I LOVE YOU COLOMBIA

[gomergilligan]

viva la Delta Force

[coolbluezzz]

I wonder if these Pablo worshippers have considered what it feels like for the family of the thousands of murdered victims 

He only built football stadiums and stuff to be popular

pray for his soul ...... think not ..... id rather piss on his grave

[violentrush1]

@coolbluezzz u are an example of someone pablo will burn alive up side down..you hoe

[pathpub]

hahaha hes a dead cunt

[luv2bud]

At least Escobar did something to help poor people. That's more than a lot of those assholes in Latin American governments can say. Most of them just steal public funds and fill government offices with their worthless thieving relatives.

[vizini1]

He didn't hesitate to kill women/children/civilians. Yeah, he was a really nice guy.

[luv2bud]

Are there any governments that will hesitate to kill innocent people? Name one. You can't, because they don't exist. The difference is that Escobar was an individual who couldn't make laws. Governments have the power to make the laws that justify their depredations. So everything they do is considered legal and acceptable.

[vizini1]

I am not sure why you are comparing actions of governments to that of one individual. He was a criminal, not a president, not a prime minister. There have surely been military actions by many countries that have resulted in the killing of children. Most democratic and developed countries, however, do not set out to intentionally try to kill little children. Pablo Escobar did exactly that during his reign of terror. Do you understand the difference?

[mutterschied]

Vizini, fella, I'm totally afraid that "luv2bud" knows it perfectly. But he's cookin' coke to ol' USA. Thus, he's in need of justify drugs.

[drc1981]

Amen; It amazes me and scares me how some people actually think Pablo was a good person in ANY way. That's like saying Hitler did a lot of good for the German people.

[2legit89]

he did do alot for the german people they all loved him he just fucked up when it came to jews

[TheKnives777]

Pablo was a very smart drug baron, he knew that without people to manufacture his cocaine his business would dry up, no workers=no production. give gifts and get protection/admiration. Hitler was paranoid and backed by a regime, his power was limitless having the German socialist movement to protect and fund him. Hitler's tyranny was in war crimes. he was a sadistic man in what he represented but to his people he was seen as a hope and a leader when no one else was, like escobar .

[ONPOIINTT]

not really theres a big difference between Hitler and Pablo...Hitler wanted to eliminate a whole race of people, Pablo on the other hand wanted to make money, not in a positive way but murderd hundreds not millions of people

[garygroundwork]

well he did a lot more for poor communities than any other drug dealer or the government at the time did. He only went crazy went the yanks wanted to extradite him. when there was no extradition laws he never killed innocent people. im not saying he's great but it's not black and white.

[hotboymm777]

@garygroundwork

hes minions made mistake and blew out the bookstore where innocent children were, because the bus couldnt pass where polices are

[celtsbhoy88]

and who was his master, easy, the answer the c.i.a

[hawmand]

[madisonelectronic]

I am getting fucked, your sister is here. You understand deep throat?

[luv2bud]

That latin pussy is mighty hot 'n' spicy, isn't it? ¡Ay caramba!

[karloshaman]

your'e 54 and playing with computers? that's for our generation, not for retired jerk offs. go back to your nursing home fucking hillbilly.

[fjouejat]

youre a stupid fuck i would love to torture you

[xtremextension]

he didnt do any of thins because of revenge. he didnt care that he was out of the government. he stated to fight because they were looking for him. Also, only the people that he helped like him. No one calls him a saint. this bitch should actually do some research!

[nacional85]

in 1:02....isnt that the voice of colombian president uribe??

[mrcolombiano]

this bitch should do her work better actually he didnt revenge they tried to kill him first so he retaliated .

[djaiseman]

he did help the poor,,,,just like he helped the poor he also killed many innocent people,,,let's not forget the commercial airplane he blew up in the sky with woman and children...he killed many policeman ,,,and also a few court judges...those are just to mention a few

[chrisw1lder]

what the fuck was the jibberish the commentator spat out at 30 seconds? god, spanish is such an ugly language. cant understand shit.

[xjoseignaciox]

estupido gringo ignorante

[TheMasterOfMetallica]

spanish isnt that bad. although i only took one year of it.

[themovienut]

Your pretty stupid then...

[131untouchable]

seeriouss passs me 10 mill u got a deal

LOOOOL

FUKIN GUY WAS FUKIN KINGPIN

[SRB232BOG22]

YES HE WASE

[JI2M]

he waas like robin hood!

[djdedeo0]

He did start out as a common thief and then chopping cars, pulling people out in broad daylight and taking their car and if you wanted to be safe you could pay him a monthly fee.

[djdedeo0]

He actually came from a middle class family not a poor family. His mother was a school teacher and his father was well off with land and cattle. The guy was a thug and had people killed. Doesn't matter that he gave some of his drug money back.

[kathyroxz]

Unlike any drug dellers pablo escobar helped the poor people and didnt just kill.

[BlindJacka]

cough Felix Mitchell uncough

[238475483]

Amazing that people as stupid as CaribbeanRyda and gaygroundwork exist. We should withhold your state benefits and let you die out.

[garygroundwork]

LMAO!! ok...

[Opupekito]

Well I lived in colombia during his days and of course u cant compensate killing thousands by just building houses, if one of that womans sons or daughters wouldve died in one of his bombings she would be sayin otherwise, reality is the mind of the people is easy to break with just money regretably, I bet here in these comments If I say I give 10 million dollars to kill someone at least 40 out of 100 ppl would say yes.

[mscubana]

And they say that the drug business doesn't do any good. What a crock of shit. Look at the fucking Miami skyline, all of that was built by the funds that were generated by the cocaine trade.

[CaribbeanRyda]

baddest man dat ever lived. he OWNED everyone that stood in his way. if it wasnt for the fuckin cops he'd probably wuld have prevented fuckin al queada or w.e and osama bin ladin from EVER destroying twin towers...but no they HAD to kill him. fuckin government needs to stay out of the drug businesses and let them do what they do

[BlindJacka]

Pablo would help the United States? Uhm...

[Murcielago820]

He was still a dirty bastard who did any thing he could to get what he wanted...

He should not be considered a saint and i know this as a true Colombian that he destroyed many families...including mine.

[AstrosN08]

self made business man

[AstrosN08]

the man came from poor surroundings and arose a rich man. no on reading this could say that. the colombian govt is and always will be corrupt. the man was se

[05002271]

sz42781 - you country created the initial demand for the poison without that demand there would be no cocaine trafficking.

[DrumsticksUpButt]

Be careful in what you say about Escobar. There is no denying that he did great things for some of the poorest people in the area, but at what price? He was responsible for the deaths of 3 presidential candidates, many, many judges, government officials and journalists, and over ONE THOUSAND police officers. There are better ways to help the poor. Think of the families of these victims, and weigh both sides.

[garygroundwork]

mmmm very true...but maybe the government officials should of listened to him and said 'no' to extradition to fkn america. Nothing happened to the politicians that didn't support extradition.... if it hadn't of been for the extradition laws no innocent colombians would of been killed ...and don't start the argument that it is more important to stop cocaine trafficking while innocent people get killed because as soon as u get rid of one boss another takes his place. war against drugs=joke.

[DrumsticksUpButt]

This is one of many strong arguments in favor of drug legalization. I agree with everything you said here.

[babydebolil]

a legend

[PidgeonAttack]

a real robin hood

[FlyMoonSho]

ziveo pablo

[gosu83]

Pablos spirit will never die!

[redbutterflynine]

i Love Pablo he the best too bad he still isnt around awesome man !!

[spadiony]

Colombia is US's one stop drug store... viva Hollywood and the junkies...

[judas2969]

colombia is  sucks !!!!

[baronjf0556]

at least our country is not built on slavery and on a stolen continet

[sz42781]

AT least our country doesent export poisen

[Pythonanchietae]

Colombia,what a fucked up country!So fucked up it almost seems like a joke.I wonder all these New World states, how on earth could not make it to prosperity with all these resources all these land and without the conflicts of Europe.You must be ashamed of yourself.Period_

[jammoexii]

Well I don't know, but you might consider... genocide, slavery, and deliberate theft and deprivation of resources, from gold in the old days to repayments on "loans" today, not to mention all the wars and coups carried out mostly by the United States to put a bunch of psychotic neo-fascist dictators (again in large part of European descent) into power to combat local democracy. But no, maybe they are just a defective people, not up to our good white European greatness.

[Pythonanchietae]

Yeah as if you were waiting USA to mess things up.Why no country in Latin America is really democratic?Why even from 19th century you are full of dictators?Why despite all your advantages most people live under poverty?

I guess its the fault of aliens!

[Ayeere]

They did not have 2000+ years to get on their feet like your country.

[Pythonanchietae]

My country was liberated in 1821 by the same time you got rid of Colonialists.Well even though we have much less size much less population not even close to the gold oil and other of your resources and having been involved in dozens of wars, 2 World ones which destroyed all infrastructure 1 one pretty big with Turks in 1919 with a subsequent population transfer and another 10 "medium" ones we are doing pretty good.

What's exactly the reason for Latin America situation?Just wondering...

[laborgrunt]

Hopefully this can end your argument. Isnt that reporter in this story HOT!!

[sz42781]

agreed

[Ayeere]

They did nto get to have those wars to settle differences? A few yes. But all that Dialogue just leaves the problems unresolved.

[garygroundwork]

fuck off idiot

[garygroundwork]

this is meant for the dickhead judas2969 who said colombia sucks...wanker

[historywillabsolve]

President of Colombia Alvaro Uribe was a good friend of his. Google "Alvaro Uribe 82" and it will take you to national security archives where he is listed by US Defense Intelligence Agency. The whole gov of Colombia is corrupt pack of narco-thugs!

[divinejudge1]

During Pablo's rise President Uribe was head director of the civil air in Colombia, then Mayor of Medellin. Anyone needing permits for a helicopter or plane had to deal with Uribe.

It is a shame to see the corruption go so deep and become so treacherous. All for the goal of power and money.

[devnation]

You can never judge accurately from the outside in.

[quickdraw002]

his big mistake was trying to get involved in Colombian politics

[flipflop1234567890]

this video is far from one sided you idiot. it informs you at the very beginning that he was a murderer and drug dealer. alot of crime bosses helped the poor, including many in America. at least there contributing in some small way, I AM NOT CONDONING CRIME!

but respect what other people have to say, you speak so adamantly about him but you never fucking knew him.

[scorpiooooooh]

flipflop-You idiot, this video is very lopsided. 10% Escobar is a murderer, drug lord, criminal & 90% how wonderful he was building churches and homes for old ladies. I guess money does buy friends. I wonder though, how much does it cost to replace a son or daughter killed by Escobar? Would you sit in a house of worship knowing it was built on someone elses misery? Is that what religion is all about, murder, theft, selling brain damage? it's all good as long as you build a church I guess.

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

Pablo Escobar was a cocaine kingpin and a ruthless mass murderer who killed not just anyone who tried to stop him, but also innocent children as well. This report is sickening in its one-sidedness. How come only those people who benefited from Escobar's handouts were interviewed? Why weren't any of the relatives of his thousands of murder victims interviewed?

[SnowflakeMoray]

problem with Colombia is the line between corrupt gvmt and horrible killer drug lords is so razor thin that I can see why some would support the dealers as the seem to atleast give them jobs and money

[mastaliltim]

R.I.P. Pablo Emilio Escobar Gavaria

1/12/1949 - 2/12/1994

[PauloGVieira]

Pablo Escobar is a murderer. Shame on the government of Colombia, they are so corrupt and ineffective that its people must rely on such a man for their very basic housing and social services.

Escobar and FARC fill a void left by the government - the only way to curb such rogue behaviour is through effective, productive and just governance.

[AsianPolitics]

From what I've heard FARC are just a bunch of drug dealers with little support from Colombians. People on Chavez's side (he's a good foreign policy I think) said this to me.

[PauloGVieira]

Oh dear- you have a lot to learn.

[BelfastBornNBred]

RIP Pablo Escobar and may your spirit guide Colombia back to the days before the FARC!

[AsianPolitics]

I remember the Columbia 3 (IRA) were helping FARC out.

[prsoberano]

At least he gave something back to the community. What has Bush give back to the World?, but infamies, hunger, chaos, and WAR..Viva el SANTO Escobar, even the Church hasn't give something back to its faithful followers...people that sometimes have give all they got to the Church.....

[violentrush1]

@prsoberano thank u boss..u r smart
