Its amazing she lasted as long as she did. Pablo Escobar got assassinated by “Columbian cops” (likely actually American Operators) ... why not her?

Should’ve been taken-out a long time ago.

Escobar was killed by Colombian forces...shot in the face after being wounded on the rooftop...who can blame them...they were terrified of him for good reason

US assets helped with listening and tracking which ultimately got Escobar’s precise location in Medellin after he stayed on the phone with his son in Bogota too long

US had/has ground assets there too but there is film of Colombian Elite Battalion and DAS agents..who are proficient and trained and assisted by us against Narcos and leftist insurgents...and the shootout with Pablo

why not Griselda?

she was not much threat anymore...Pablo was...he wreaked havoc down there and killed 100s or 1000s of Colombian cops and judges and civilians...he actually blew up and destroyed the equivalent of the FBI’s headquarters...in broad daylight...and that was just for starters

but what really got Pablo was PEPES...a counter group of other Narcos tired of his shite...Cali and Victor Caranza of Muzo and others...they were the ones who kept up the heat and could find him the quickest and they killed his helpers soon as they could find them

Pablo was boxed in..and he sorta brought it on himself..sure the Colombian govt that had taken money from him forever betrayed him with extradition but he coulda quit like Jorge Ochoa did...years before and lived out a comfortable ranchers life down there being immensely wealthy

this stuff went to their heads...Pablo ran for office...Carlos Lehder started a goofy Hitler's Woodmen type political party...I used to see them handing out pamphlets all the while in their brownshirt giddyups

too much money and too much toot in their brains...

some used their heads though..a few..and created quiet dynasties...cursed likely..but nonetheless survivors in a very to say the least environment
