Stop glorification of Pablo Escobar's crimes. Change "Escobar" Pub's name &respect victims

El problema

Your Pub named "Escobar" glorifies a terrorist, a criminal, a torturer and the mastermind of indescribable pain and sorrow for an entire nation. 

I respectfully request you to change the name of your pub and delete any reference to Pablo Escobar. Both the name of the pub and the mural inside are insulting. By naming your pub "Escobar" you are glorifying a criminal, who terrorized my country Colombia. You are disrespecting the victims.

He may be a Netflix character for many. For thousands of other people like me he is our victimazer, our assassin, our torturer, our killer, and the mastermind of indescribable pain and sorrow. Escobar killed close to 4,000 people, including about 200 judges and 1,000 police, journalists, and government officials. Escobar ordered (and had carried out) the assassination of a Colombian presidential candidate and the country's minister of justice.

As a suggestion maybe call your pub Medellín, and highlight how the city with the highest deathrate per capita in the world during Escobar's years, made it out of the horror. Highlight our achievements and glorify our citizens that survived the drug war.
