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.

Who WAS John Galton?
the video streams are live and moves the info immediately to the web and notifies people and witnesses.
Thanks for that info————astonishing,at least to me.
.
A stupid millianial trying to stir up trouble in a city controlled by the Mexican drug cartels, what could possibly go wrong?
or AMF
Theres pockets of freedom all over the world, John said in the video. Theres so much thats more free about where we live here.
Yes you were free of the protections of that wonderful document the US Constitution. How did that work out for you?
Well, its what he advocates for.
I sure hope they are not going to be hypocrites and bring the police into this.
>Whats the down side ?
There is none
Is that supposed to be dreads on the GF or just matted hair?
“....they were getting by financially through selling glass drug pipes that Lily blew into shape.”
Apparently, the couple was cutting into somebody’s drug paraphernalia business.
Her boyfriend is gone but Lily is good at blowing ... so she has that going for her.
I’m not seeing the issue.
They wanted to live within their Anarchistic society.
Thinking they didn’t really mean it.....
With a smirk like that, shouldn’t he be wearing a MAGA hat?
Who knew that the anarchy of a failed narco state is dangerous to anarchists.
Hope he enjoyed his anarchy.
Communists and other tyrants frequently promote anarchy, knowing that the chaos that results almost invariably leads to calls for a strong central authority to restore order, and they hope to be the ones who fill the vacuum.
Even in an anarcho-capitalist state, where free trade is promoted as the only guiding principle, the first contract dispute will result in either calls for arbitration (which is an appeal to a higher authority), or one of the parties involved to take it upon themselves to resolve the dispute, making themselves the de facto authority (see, "law of jungle," above).
“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.”
i don’t think that any of the best U.S. novelists could have come up with a sentence like that ...
