MEXICO CITY An American anarchist who went by the name John Galton was shot dead at his home in the Mexican resort of Acapulco, sending shivers through a tightknit anti-establishment community of expatriates that organizes events in the violence-torn retreat with seminars on topics such as how to make money via cryptocurrencies.
A woman describing herself as Johns partner, Lily, said via social media that she saw the gunmen go straight for John and his friend Jason Henza, 43. Henza made it to a private hospital with bullet wounds in an armpit, leg and hand. The hospital said he checked out that same day. Mexican police found equipment to process drugs, glass pipes and marijuana plants at the home.
Lily and Henza both posted videos to Facebook immediately after the shooting. Lily screamed: I really need help! Somebody please come. In his post, a bearded Henza said in a blood-smattered T-Shirt: We were attacked. Ive been shot three times. Im not doing so good.
Prior to the shooting, John and Lily hosted weekly Meat Ups at a local restaurant where self-professed carnivores dined only on meat. They were also busy recruiting speakers for an anarchist conference set to take place in Acapulco later in February. The dreadlocked couple, both in their 20s, posted a video to Facebook two months ago calling for attendees at the conference.
We want freedom of ideas, John said from the patio of a house that the couple rented for $400 a month high above the bay of Acapulco. Waves lapped gently far below and roosters crowed as he spoke.

You beat me to it. Who, indeed?
Is that “ketchup” on the right?
What’s the down side ?
Meat? Dreadlocks? The anarchist collective is going to want to have a few words with him. Oh, wait. He’s dead. Well, guess they already spoke.
Anarchist is a broad term, and because of that, it attracts all types
Some are simply Marxists who think that somehow Communism can occur with freely chosen small collectives.
Others mix in collectivism with new age cult or environmental beliefs
There are other anarchists who believe quite the opposite - property and individual rights are paramount. All government is an immoral intrusion on these rights. People will naturally form beneficial groupings based on their religion, or economic self-interest. These are called anarcho-capitalists.
Which was this guy?
Always seems to happen to the super-smart young ones. I don’t get it.
It's hard to pin the guy down one way or the other.
Maybe he thought that if everybody lived his way, governments would be unnecessary.
Judging from his assumed name,
I’d say he was an anarcho-randian.

You wanted chaos, you found it.
Well... that’s anarchy for ya.
” Mexican police found equipment to process drugs, glass pipes and marijuana plants at the home. “
Never a good idea stepping in on the Cartel’s territory.
Hmm...this story smells like a love triangle gone bad, with John being the odd man out. Wonder what his life insurance policy looked like.
Paid his dealer with bad cryptocurrency?
Seems Stalinist.
“Rubbish. I could see a true anarchist stiffing the hospital on its bill and leaving the country.”
What I understand is that you make payment prior to treatment.
full LP including “opium for the people” and Baba blacksheep have you any BS?”
