Pablo Escobar, is he a myth, or just an ordinary drug dealing killing machine that was media hyped to legend?

He was VERY real and as much of a nightmare, if not worse, that the media made him out to be!  He was violent, killing government officials in Columbia at a whim.  He was on of the, if not the, first major drug king pins in the world.

Pablo Escobar...who was later shot on returning from the tournament

good grief. ive seen nothing but lame answers so far except for a few. let me break it down for ya. they are planning on legilization of drugs in mexico. yes and it is all drugs. so yes some mexican guy can walk around all geeked up on coke. is it the mob taking over? no. vincent fox is signing the bill into law to crack down on the gangs selling the drugs. these are the same gangs fighting each other for the lucritive US pipeline. they did propose limits on how much you could carry on your person without being bothered by the police which i can tell you is not much.\n\n\noh and far as legalization in the US. hard drugs i say no. marijauna i say yes. i dont even smoke the stuff but i think it should be legal. its only a gateway drug for people who just want to get F****** up. the highschool health classes are filling your heads with a bunch of lame crap. to all the young teenage kids out there, you havent began to see life for what it really is so what im saying probably wouldnt make sense to you. but anyways if marijauna were treated like alcohol it would work in the system.

i have never seen or heard anyone doing that, it is a drug, that slows you down, most people become submissive while doing pot, they become lazy like, and rather not move around to much....don't let the media fool you, people who do stupid things...do stupids thing anyway...the wackos are the ones that do things like Herion, crack, cocaine

lol...what kind of a question is this...i'm sure everyone knows someone who abuses illegal drugs, it's just that some of the people that abuse illegal drugs don't go around telling everyone. Contrary to what the media portrays, there are many illegal drugs that don't make you act like a total idiot and only other people who have done the drug or people who have been around others doing the drug a lot would even know they were on it.

he was a man who killed many inocent people...he fought int he revolutionary war and he was an extreamist he was a good guy but he kinda went to the extreams to prove his points...look it up on wikiepedia.com aslo they have a movie of him when he was younger that makes him look like a good person called motorcycle diaries u should check that out...its in spanish though

And more widespread than we could possibly know.  The media is only focusing on the most famous people.  \nEverybody has a secret.

nope, wasnt him. they had that guy on tv a while back, and wasnt marilyn manson. though, i have read interview with M M where he both said it was him, and denied it. i assume he was doing it for the press..... or he was baked out of his mind.

I find it interesting that this has come up in the last few days, considering my roomate had just found Ben's website yesterday and sent me the link. First thing, he wasnt a man, he was a BOY who had been medicated with a drug whose long term effects on minors was not known at the time.I dated him about 6 months before his initial hospitalization,and dont get me wrong, he was a troubled kid, very sensitive to bad things in his life, but never aggresive towards me or others.\n I saw him the July before the murder at the park, this was after some extended time at Shepperd Pratt.....and he was completely off of his rocker...did the TRIPLE dosage of prozac affect this, absolutely. Was his judgment clouded that night, of course! Does it excuse what he did, not totally. He should have to serve time for his crime, but did he deserve life with no parole at 16 years of age? I know for sure...the whole situation breaks my heart. A life lost, a child without a mother, and a brilliant soul who couldnt see beyond his troubled youth,his life wasted behind bars.

I saw a tv thing about him and he talked about it... so sorry it's true. Someone should hunt him!!haha!

He was a bushranger so technically a criminal but was touted as a "folk Hero" to the people....see wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly

I'm going to go with the combo answer here. I think that the sadness of his years that left him a victim of his times is the result of the acid soaked 60's. I think that he began as a talented musician that liked drugs entirely too much and left him a talentless hack with nothing to say...but that is just what i think!

Possible. \nBut it's possible that it was just the drugs he was on. The History Channel did a program called High Hitler and talked about the doctor that prescribed a ton of drugs

Google him; it's a long story involving drugs, death and cults.

The power of internet rumors are what killed him. He is in fact not dead of an intentional heroin overdose as an email circulating around the 'net would have you believe. This rumour started from a story on Broken Newz which was suppose to be taken as satire.\n\nAnything else is just wishful thinking.

There is NO JUSTICE in the State of Florida. If you're just a regular person you get screwed, but look what happens if you have money and fame. What really sucks is that that junkie has been so full of crap all these years. He has always made me want to puke every time he opened his mouth. Now, come to find out. It was all crap. He made lots of money being so right winged, getting fans that agreed with his phony propaganda. See, I never liked him anyway, but I bet his fans are extremely disappointed that their hero is no better than a common junkie. No offense to all the junkies out there, but I don't think any of you are proud of it and are huge hypocrites like Rush. The hypocritical aspect is what makes this case so revolting. I would doubt that he is on any wagon. Is he even required to do drug test. Not that I am aware of anyway. I'm sure he can get all the Oxycontin he wants off the black market just like most junkies do.
