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 John’s 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. I’ve been shot three times. I’m 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.

I didn’t even know he was alive. Such a loss/s
From the way the story was written, (my tongue-in-cheek interpretation), two anarchists were killed, Galton and Henza since the hospital said that Henza “checked out” too.
My English teachers would be proud of me! /sarc and maybe give me a retroactive “B”.
Interesting. There is another anarchist who lives down there, Jeff Berwick. He goes by the name Dollar Vigilante. Anyhow, he is always posting all over social media, making fun of the people who think Alcapulco isn’t safe. I wonder if he’ll have anything to say about this.
Let me guess, she was eating carrots
$400/mo for a house overlooking Acapulco???? Hmmmm... maybe I need to look into this Anarchy stuff. Do you have to wear a funny hat?
A few too many dancing on his grave here, though... he was a dumb kid who likely crossed or competed with the wrong dealer in narco-state Mexico. There’s no reason to get smug over his murder.

“There’s no reason to get smug over his murder.”
No reason not to
They called themselves anarchists because they couldn’t spell......criminals ?
The hippie stink must have been nauseating.
Natty Dread , Ratty Dread , Matted Dread ?
Looks like some major-league “hairpiece” (C&C) on that dude’s lip.
Eeeww!
