PBH / colombia (travelguide, pictures) / post

Silly but quick question

I am ashamed to ask this stupid question call me ignorant but it is doubt that I have.

The other day I was watching a documentary on National Geographic about Pablo Escobar Gaviria, I am not trying to judge anybody but I thought that there would not be not even a single colombian who thinks that Pablo Escobar was a good fellow, since as far as I know he committed several atrocities.

But to my surprise I have found some comments on the internet regarding Pablo Escobar and I must say I was surprised of what i have found.

"PABLO FUE LA PERSONA MAS BUENA, PERO EL GOBIERNO ASESINA, CONDENA, A MUCHA MAS GENTE SIN RAZON. PABLO ENFRENTABA A LOS QUE SE CREIAN GRANDE A LOS QUE QUERIAN TENER AL PAIS DE RUANA COMO PANTOFIMIO QUE ESTÿ COMO PEDRO POR SU CASA Y OTROS MAS QUE USTEDES SABEN Y SE HACEN LOS BOBOS PERO EL PUEBLO COLOMBIANO SABE QUE ES ASI, PERO EL JUICIO DE DIOS VENDRÿ Y EL QUE NO HAYA COMETIDO PECADO QUE LANCE LA PRIMERA PIEDRA."

"ya me di cuenta q no soy la unik persona q piensa q pablito escobar es de lo mejor, se q como yo muchas personas mas lo llevaremos en el corazon, pablo fue aquella persona q hizo arrodillarse a mas de uno de esos hp q se creian mas y les enseyo quien era el q mandaba , fue un ser maraviilloso y como otros daria todo por q viviera,los q lo mataron iran al infierno por hijue.... sea donde sea van a pagar la muerte de un hombre como PABLITO ESCOBAR ERES EL MEJOR"

When I read this comments I tried to figure out what Escobar did for them.

I recently learned that Oliver Stone is going to film a movie called "Escobar", I honestly, and in the light of the above and as a foreigner would prefer to pay to watch a documentary with "pros" (if there were some pros indeed) and cons for colombian people the legend of Pablo Escobar.
