    Sometimes we don't live through the mistakes.

    Poor flying skills, mixing LSD and motorcycles and two gringos trying to peddle drugs in a Mexican cartel $#@!hole are mistakes most don't recover from.

    The attacks on these people definitely does feel similar to the typical attacks we see on Adam Kokesh. Why waste the effort when we have far bigger fish to fry.

    Daring to make a life outside of a corruptly infested surveillance state tax plantation is something that should be commended, not ridiculed. You can of course disagree with their ideology and their lifestyle choices and say they had it coming to them. Maybe they did. Maybe the law, caught up to them, regardless of geographic isolation. Maybe they made bad choices. All of this is possible. When we have just a handful of people born in the US, willing to get rid of everything that they have here and move away to take an ideological stand against said corrupted state, we should be happy there are people willing to take this stand, even when it literally has cost them their lives. Taking shots at them is like complaining about traffic. Anyone can do it, it's easy, but why waste the time when we have 1000+ problems that are bigger problems than this.

    We should both be taking a stand for those of us living here and appreciating those that take a stand using other methods. It's not mutually exclusive to endorse both and we cannot be fooled or tricked into thinking one is good and the other is bad. There isn't one right way to fight back. Both are fighting the deep state, the corrupt core of this nation. Doesn't mean you have to follow in these folks footsteps or emulate them in any way. We each play our own part in this fight and denigrating people that choose a different path will not help us win in the end. I'm not talking about "staying unified" or whatever some people say is hurting the libertarian movement. I'm talking about wasting time on low hanging fruit when we should be infuriated at the last batch of rights that the government has stolen away from the people.

    We all have a common enemy, let's keep it that way and stay focused on that and leave the trivial pettiness to the leftist msm.

    Acapulco is no longer a tourist destination...

    Tourists in Mexico drive around dismembered and burned corpses of cartel victims amid gang violence spike in one-time holiday hotspot Acapulco
    28th March 2018
    ...
    The resort city is now at the centre of a crime wave that has swept across the country with extortion, kidnaps and murder daily occurrences.

    Acapulco was once frequented by film stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and even members of the Kennedy family.

    It was even the subject of the Four Tops 1988 hit Going Loco Down In Acapulco which sang about how "the magic" in the town was "so strong".

    But that magic has been replaced by hideous violence.

    Despite its former glamour Acapulco resides in Guerrero state, one of Mexico’s poorest provinces and one of the most ravaged by organised crime.
    ...

    How Acapulco became Mexico’s murder capital

    He wasn't murdered for wanting freedom, he was murdered for fleeing to a murder capital that he believed to be safe for God knows what reason, and started competing with $#@!ing drug cartels. Again, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. This outcome was entirely predictable.

    Could have been a fellow Anarcho-Capitalist....

    Galton was part of a small community of fellow anarcho-capitalists formed by Jeff Berwick, who promised a drug-friendly haven and hosts the annual “Anarchapulco” festival. Berwick says Galton and Forester should’ve known what they were getting into.

    “They started up a competing conference to Anarchapulco, called Anarchaforko and John continued to be involved in one way or another with the production or sale of plants,” Berwick told The Daily Beast in an email. “Unfortunately, that is the one thing that is very dangerous to do in Mexico as the drug cartels will attack anyone they see as competition and that appears to have happened to John.”

    Anarchapulco will go on as scheduled next week and might be even bigger due to the murder, Berwick says.

    “We've received nothing but love from attendees and expect this will not affect attendance in a negative way at all,” he said. “In fact, it could increase attendance as more people are exposed to our message this week due to media coverage of this tragic event.”
    Forester, meanwhile, suggested the murder had an anarchist connection.

    “All I can say is be careful of everyone,” she wrote in a Telegram post, first reported by CoinSpice. “Those who talk anarchy don’t always Live in accordance. This was because we trusted and helped the wronfg [sic] ‘anarchist’. Be vigilant, on your toes and skeptical of all.”

    In another Telegram post, she added that “the news is wrong, but I have to wait to tell my story.”
    she continued on Discord. “This is a big mess and while I'm sad about it I don't want to leave Mexico. Mexico isn't the problem, this was due to an American who hired Mexicans.

    Anyone going to go see Ron?

    This year’s Feb. 14-17 Anarchapulco promises a nudist pool, psychedelics, sex counseling, and sessions on radical homeschooling—as well as big-name Republican figures like former presidential candidate Ron Paul and Fox News personality Judge Andrew Napolitano.

    The conference is located in a ritzy Acapulco hotel. Attendees will have shelled out $545 for tickets, with options to pay an additional $495 for an “investment summit,” $255 for the “Infinite Man” summit with a pickup artist, $140 for “De-Mystifying the Occult,” and $250 each for various drug ceremonies like “Jaguar Vision,” an hour-long DMT experience.

    For some reason, all of these anarchists that move there equate not having a strong rule of law with freedom. Mexico is a third world $#@!hole. Property rights and rule of law are what make a functioning society. Mexico has neither, therefore it is not free.

    I am not going to dump on this guy. I am strongly against the drug war. He should have watched Narcos Mexico. These guys don't mess around. One of the film crew scouts for Narcos was murdered in Mexico because he was poking around.

    Who do you think killed him? Richard Nixon?

    Wow. Just saw that article myself. It's worth reading the entire article.

    It seems like all of these anarcho-utopia schemes in a foreign nation always end up resulting in scams, fraud or murder.

    I had no idea Ron Paul was involved in this "event" and I would advise him to rethink it.
