BTW, Amado learned quite a bit from his mentor Acosta only to turn him in but then Pablo pretty much sealed his faith by conducting those interviews with Mr. Poppa. I remember that back in the day narcos would only attack each other and not bystanders of innocent people. In fact, some of the shootouts that took place in the open never result in any bystander getting hurt or killed, also they would rather wait for their target and take them them hostage until they paid or simply execute them in the desert, far from the town.

I am not saying they were good people because they were still violent drug dealers but at least they had some kind of honor and respect for others. The narcos in Juarez are simply gutless thugs with guns who would shoot their own mothers for a buck.
