Oscar Naranjo (pictured), and others who fended off a criminal takeover in the Andean nation believe Mexico is on the cusp of a battle royale in which politicians, police and judges will increasingly be targeted and terror used against civilians - just as Pablo Escobar and his Medellin cocaine cartel did in their country.
