In A Nutshell
Sometime within the 1970s, the Medellin Cartel constructed “Tranquilandia,” a massive cocaine production facility hidden deep within the jungles of Colombia.

Cartagena is AMAZING but this is the 6th time I was stopped in 5 days, Sampson wrote in the caption for the video. It happens to Black Colombians often. I’m told stopping is policy but what is NOT is they reached down my underwear aggressively, slap my arms 5 times hard, punch me in my jaw and pull his gun on me, the actor continued. He then cuffed me and dragged me through the streets. I did not resist any legal procedure. Thank u for posting
