Sin Carreta spoke with sociologist Ricardo Vargas to delve deeper into the topic and analyze why Colombians stand out for this type of “movie-worthy attacks.”
“I don’t think it’s a matter of us being a country that by nature tends to be violent, far from it, but we are a country with a very long armed conflict. There are several decades where wars need trained people, people who know how to handle weapons.”Vargas explained. “There are people who, once they finish, turn out to be interesting to involve in conflicts or simply hire them as hitmen”he added.
