I mean the man is literally amazing. He's one of the last people to really put up a fight against a statist regime. When they passed laws prohibiting him from selling a substance to consenting adults he simply told them to go fuck themselves.

When government bureaucrats tried to kidnap and murder him, they were swiftly gunned down, or had their cars blown up as they got ready to go to work in the morning.

When the police tried to kidnap him and throw him in jail, he simply told them to go fuck themselves and that'd he'd be living inside of a literal mansion that he built himself to serve his jail sentence.

When a presidential candidate tried to initiate force against him, he simply gunned him down, and that was the end of that.

This man is an idol. He didn't put up with the bullshit of the state and took away their monopoly of force, going tit for tat every time they tried to fuck with him. He literally gave no shits about the police, and killed around 3000 of them.

Escobar should be remembered as a hero and martyr, because he was one of the very few who had the resolve and courage to say no to the state and fight back
