Recommended: The success of the Medellin cartel

Pablo Escobar played by Wagner Moura in the Netflix original hit show, Narcos, is the best villain because of how well he portrayed the real Pablo Escobar and what he stood for. He is ruthless, cool headed, resourceful, charismatic, and determined to change the Colombian government. In this TV series, the story of a man named Pablo Escobar is trying to run the Medellin drug cartel in Colombia as he is hunted down by the Colombian government, American military, DEA, CIA, and special forces. DEA agent Steve Murphy does all he can to try to take down the biggest cocaine empire in Colombia. As Escobar does all he can to save this Medellin cartel, get rid of extradition, and get away with becoming the leader of one of the world’s biggest drug cartels. …show more content…

Wrong again. Well Steve Murphy is just as determined as Pablo; he just has different reasoning behind his determination. Steve Murphy is determined to catch Pablo, which is not happening for a good decade or two. But he is so determined to catch Pablo that he tries to negotiate and come up with an agreement with traitors, crime lords, and anyone who would listen to him and didn’t try to kill or kidnap him. You know how most heroes are the good guys and don’t get obsessed over something? Well I hate to tell you this but this guy is not that kind of hero. Steve, seriously, he gets so obsessed over Pablo that he and his partner Pena, get suspended for taking their power too far. Even if the world was to be blown up if he didn’t give up trying to get him, this guy would blow up the world. Goodbye Earth. He does feel so bad for anyone involved with this empire that didn’t want to be. A great instance of this would be that Pablo’s men had gone to a house to eliminate some witnesses but the mercenaries were found there, got chased away, and the agents went back to the house. An infant survives and Steve decides to adopt the baby. Despite these guys hating each other’s guts they do share some similarities. No, seriously, I’m not

    Pablo Escobar dedicated most of his life to being the spearhead of the Medellin drug cartel in Colombia. The Medellin Cartel was not just a business, it was an empire. It possessed countless camps as well as laboratories devoted to the production of drugs. As it was mentioned earlier, the profits of the cartel were very high. The immense amount of money was put toward the purchase of new labs, planes, and even an island. The Medellin Cartel focused predominantly on cocaine. Not only did Pablo Escobar run a “criminal enterprise” committed to illegally trafficking drugs, he was also “responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of government officials, police, prosecutors, judges, journalists, and innocent bystanders” (Kelley). By spending large amounts of money on public projects to help others, many saw him as a very generous, caring man. Most people only saw the Pablo Escobar that loved to share his wealth with those who needed it in his hometown. They did not see what he was really capable of, commit...

    Pablo Escobar is personally responsible for the killing of approximately 3,000 people in his lifetime. The killings were ruthless and unjust and were meant to frighten anyone who may oppose him. He generally killed to get ahead in the drug business and most reported killings were between rival drug kingpins. Escobar brought in more than two billion dollars illegally a year and probably could have made more if he did not run for a spot in the Colombian Government. Pablo Escobar was elected into the Colombian Government but was soon removed due to a Colombian Government official finding out he was a Drug Kingpin, and he paid off almost every official to get a spot in the Senate.
