Curious and curiouser.
Reference the scene about Murphy's cat being slain by the cartel, only to be met with "justice" because of an agent named "Kiki." Here's the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDe-YA2ippQ
For now, that means using Murphy’s murdered cat as the driving force behind an investigation into how far Escobar’s influence reaches. Murphy, with his voiceover, evokes the death of DEA agent Kiki Camarena as an example of how the DEA cracks down on drug traffickers, how there’s an unwritten rule that DEA officers are off limits, and that the threat to Murphy and his family must have consequences.
Great question -- if I could add on just a bit more to it as well.
If the threat of hell raining down is the blowback for touching DEA, why not just rain that hell down to begin with, or would that just be the validation for a small scale invasion? Or, to put it another way, why not provide those resources to root someone out to begin with?
Follow up question. Came here to make a thread but this one should do.
Was Pablo Escobar as a narcoterrorist viewed anywhere near similar to an Osama Bin Laden nowadays? Was he viewed as more of a threat? Less? More violent? Less? Was he viewed as a global threat like Osama?
I was too young to remember how Escobar was viewed in his prime but I'm wondering how is he compared to an Osama Bin Laden or ISIS?
And if Escobar was really worried about incurring American retaliation, then why on earth would he bomb Avianca Flight 203, killing American citizens in the process? My understanding is that that's the action in particular that ratcheted up American involvement in the region to the point where their goal was to kill Escobar.
This might be too off topic, but I heard that the Columbian government killed more civilians than Escobar in the same period of time. Is that true?
We get it, people are misspelling Colombia. Pedantic spelling corrections make up about 20% of all comments in the thread at this point. I have left one correction visible - any further ones shall be removed.
While it's certainly important and respectful to spell Colombia correctly, it's cluttering and a pedantic waste of time to see such corrections repeated constantly throughout the thread in response to every mistake, nor is it appropriate to down-vote valid questions and explanations due to a misspelling.
