    Brewster has it.

    Galan was killed by one of Pablo Escobar's hitmen because he wanted to start a war on drugs against the narcos. Although it is rumored, and a well known fact, that members of the political establishment took part in the assassination, it has never been proven despite many people testifying to the fact. To this day it is still not public knowledge who these politicians were, and the government frequently deflects by blaming Pablo Escobar.

    It says I can't rep Brewster.
    Repped!

    Absolutely shameful guess, Aexodus. If I wasn't your friend I would make fun of you.

    I think that's the firebombing of Tokyo.

    It is a fairly distinct looking city.
