And God love them, but to be honest, throughout the entire period Lily and John were pretty much a walking cluster**** who ultimately brought down and ruined everything around them via Johns misguided perception of his own self importance. If they had not believed their own press and thought they were actually special because they were on the run and had gained 6000 subscribers to their story, they never would have given Anarchapulco the negative press they did; they never would have created such a stigma and attempted to showcase themselves as being part of a conference they really had nothing whatsoever to do with by creating the fork; and had they not done so, Johns murder would never have been associated so heavily with Anarchapulco. In reality, Johns death had absolutely nothing to do with Anarchapulco or with the Anarchist movement at all. John was killed because he was dealing drugs in Cartel country. He was warned many times that Acapulco is a Cartel town. You can come here and claim you are an anarchist and sure that's fine, do what you can to get by. But when all is said and done you need to remember you are on owned turf and there are some things you simply do NOT do in Acapulco. One of them is sell drugs.

As far as the conference goes, John and Lily were never part of the event and were never associated with it until they tried to be by creating Anarchaforko. They were complete outsiders who had zero to do with the event. They were only even there because Jeff had helped them with advice on how to enter Mexico and had given them a ticket to the conference. But it becomes very obvious they felt that, because of their story, they really should have been one the main events. A common folly of believing ones own press...

Something in episode 4 that I found quite revealing was - and, well, I like Lily and i can appreciate she has had a hard life and been through some bad **** - but i find it interesting and somewhat revealing that she had said a lot of stuff right throughout the series up to that point about them not being involved with selling drugs or working with the local competition, and yet then right at the end of episode 4 she readily admits that She and John were fighting a lot, he would often go out for extended periods and the reality is that she actually had zero clue whether john was selling the oppositions coke or not... WTF??? (quick blame shift... er, dunno... wasn't me... maybe someone in my office)

Despite any suspicions that have been directed at Paul Propert, John Galton's death was absolutely a Cartel hit. I live in Acapulco and I have first hand accounts from reliable sources who often visited them that yes, they were dealing cocaine. In her account even Lily herself said it was a Mexican kid doing the shooting. If Paul had really wanted to shoot John he would have done it himself and if he tried to 'hire a hit man' they would have asked him for USD20k simply because he was a gringo. Gringos don't employ kids looking to get made to go and kill people for them. The Cartel does. And Johns death was 100% a Cartel hit. Period.
