“I would argue with my father [Pablo Escobar] about his violent attitude and I would tell him to stop his violent ways and to think about peace as an alternative, especially given the many problems he was having. However, he would reply almost immediately by telling me "you are forgetting that the first bomb that exploded in Colombia was an attempt against you, your sister, and your mother - I did not invent narcoterrorism, narcoterrorism was first used against my family.” ThinkingWayFirstsProblemUsedMotherFatherGivenForgetAttitudeMy FamilyArguingViolentAlternativesBombsColombiaPablo Escobar Author:Juan Pablo Escobar
