It takes a psychopath to kill that many people and not be troubled by it.

Reminds me of the movie Goodfellas.

Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar's former chief hitman Jhon Jairo 'Popeye' Velasquez has died of cancer today at the age of 57.

Velasquez served a life sentence after admitting to killing 300 people and ordering the deaths of 3,000 more as he violently enforced Escobar's legendary reign of terror.

It doesn't work that way.

Every single iota of pain and misery he has caused others will be felt by him. And since there is no flesh to act as insulator, his soul will feel every bit of it a billion times over. He'd wish to die but his soul can't die.
So there's no forgiveness after all?

You are not to judge.
You are not God.
God is not man.

I saw a documentary where he went to every of his victims who survived his terror attack after her was released from prison.
Most of them handicapped, he also went to the families of the deceased victims.

The surprising thing is all of them forgave him after he pleaded and apologized to them all, he was full of remorse while apologizing.

even though he said if Pablo comes back to life, he will gladly work for Pablo again.

Those guys really "chop life".

But isn't that the point of repentance? Old things are washed away and you become anew. Or help me understand.

Repentance without restitution is empty.
Of zero value.

And who's to say he didn't make restitution before he passed away? We certainly weren't there to know.

Repentance does not mean no penance.

Remember that despite David's repentance and sack clothes and ashes, his child still died and he was still punished for his offence.

That you have repented means you won't do it again.

But the one that you have already done, you will account for it.

That's true justice

Not like Buhari type of Justice where Boko Haram members who have killed people say they have repented and they are given dinner and set free.

True justice makes you accountable for everything you've ever done. Good and bad. That's true Justice.

He was linked to the 1989 bombing of an Avianca jet, which killed 107 people, just to assassinate one traveller, another presidential candidate.

Fortunately or unfortunately ( you pick) The intended target ( a colombia presidential candidate) was tipped off by 'gringos' American CIA agents in colombia and he did not fly the ill fated Avancia plane. The 107 passengers were just wasted for nothing. Such is the cruel reign of Escobar

Dottore:

So there's no forgiveness after all?

Forgiveness? From who? It is an automatic law of the Universe.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. That is what balances the Universe and makes the Cosmos ordered.

Christians have been trained to think of God rewarding or punishing people for their deeds.

Not so.

What you do, no matter how little carries its own consequences, both good and bad. Every action and every thought.

Seeking forgiveness or repentance is you trying to limit your bad action and thereby the negative consequences.

It's just like a child fascinated by fire, moves close and puts out its hand to touch the flames.

When it's fingers are burnt, it isn't a punishment, it is the resulting consequence of its action.

People hiding behind "the blood of Jesus has covered and still covers all my sins" will be mightily surprised that the Laws that upholds the Universe doesn't work that way.

You shit, you pack it. Simple.

Okay. There is one Narcos I have seen, it narrated his while story too, from when he started the business, partnering, delved into politics and was chased out of parliament and went back into narcos, the bombing was there too.

I think there is another too though.

Yes, Narcos is mainly on Pablo Escobar's story while Surviving Escobar concentrates on Pablo Escobar's hitman, Popeye after his patron (Escobar was killed).
