So basic moral standards shouldn't be expected of INDIA either? That is a RACIST point of view

Apparently, You Don't Know What's Been Going On In India
Anymore Than You Know About Anything Else

Why Aren't You Writing A Letter To India ??
Are You Just Another Inter-Net Phoney ??

They're still trying to figure out how to get his body off the island.

American killed by bow and arrow-wielding tribe while trying to visit remote Indian island

An American tourist trying to visit a lush, remote island in India has been killed by a tribe completely cut off from the outside world and known to attack outsiders with bows and arrows, police revealed Wednesday.

Indian officials have identified the victim as John Allen Chau, 27. They added that he was illegally ferried by fishermen to North Sentinel Island last week, part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a group of islands in the Bay of Bengal between India and Burma.

“Adventure awaits. So do leeches,” read the final post on his Instagram account, dated Nov. 2. On his Facebook profile, Chau described himself as a “soccer coach, traveller, and writer.” He often posted images of his worldwide exploits online, such as hikes in Washington state and prior trips to India.

Dependera Pathak, director-general of police on India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, told the Associated Press that Chau arrived in the region on Oct. 16 and stayed in a hotel while he prepared to visit the prohibited island.

He said Chau organized his visit to the island through a friend who hired seven fishermen for $325 to take him there on a boat, which also towed his kayak.

Chau went ashore in his kayak on Nov. 15 and sent the boat with the fishermen out to sea to avoid detection, Pathak said. He interacted with some of the tribespeople, giving them gifts he had prepared such as a football and fish. But the tribespeople became angry and shot an arrow at him which apparently hit a book he was carrying, Pathak said.

The American's kayak became damaged, so he swam to the fishermen's boat, which was waiting at a prearranged location. There he spent the night and wrote out his experiences on pages of paper which he gave to the fishermen, Pathak said.

In one of the notes handed over, according to the New York Times, Chau wrote about Jesus bestowing him with the strength to visit some of the most forbidden places on Earth.

Chau then set off for the island again the following day. Sources who spoke to AFP though said once he set foot on shore, he was “attacked by arrows but he continued walking.

“The fishermen saw the tribals tying a rope around his neck and dragging his body,” one source added.

Following Chau's death, the fishermen left for Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where they informed Chau's friend, who notified his family, Pathak said.

He said the family got in touch with Indian police and U.S. consular officials.

"It was a case of misdirected adventure," he added.

The body, according to Reuters, has not yet been recovered as of Wednesday, and those who took him to the island are said to have been arrested.

"The investigation in this matter is on," senior police officer Deepak Yadav said, announcing that the seven fishermen have been taken into custody.

Did this dummy spend even five minutes Googling "North Sentinel Island" before going on his "adventure"? Turns out they don't like visitors.

I think they're afraid they'll be killed too.

Too bad the missionary didn't think of that.

 

[BigTruck]

It Has Been Repeatedly Stated
He Was There ILLEGALLY

Does trespassing justify Murder? They will probably not be held accountable as they are a unique, primitive culture, but their response was extreme to say the least.

Oregon lets you murder people for trespassing.

Don’t fire a warning shot though, you’ll probably get arrested.

Jesus was supposed to protect him

An American was killed in a foreign country. Why are we not bombing them? Why has no one investigated to find the killer and bring him to justice?

If we are supposed to be outraged when a foreign citizen is killed in a foreign country why not in this case?

Or blankets infected with smallpox.

Just because they are a tribe, doesnt make them immune to punishment for murder. Someone from that tribe needs to be put it prison.

They have a right to defend their borders. So do we.

 

[rightwinger]

The main reason they don’t want you visiting that island is they have no immunity to our diseases

Duh

He wasn’t killed by the Indian government

There is a cluster of islands called Andaman and Nicobar in the Bay of Bengal, India. These islands were inhabited by first migrants out of Africa. They have lived here for more than 66K years in complete isolation till Brits first started to mess with them when India was under British occupation. Encounter between Brits and the tribes was very brutal; many of them were massacred by British explorers. This is why the tribes do not trust outsiders. Anyway, British capitalized the dangerous nature of these islands by using it as a place to exile Indian nationalists. Any Indian who was found guilty of engaging in activities to liberate India from British occupation was sentenced to these islands. This was a certain death.

India became a free nation in 1947. After the independence, Indian government officials have started a patient campaign to integrate these tribes into Indian union. This campaign has resulted in integration of all the tribes into India except the Sentinelese tribe. Indian government is working patiently to make a breakthrough with these folks. Outsiders going there and provoking the tribe makes the task of government more difficult.

Indian officials have learned the languages spoken on other Islands of Andaman and Nicobar. However, neither of those languages are understood by the Sentinelese tribe. This makes the task harder for the government officials. Indian government cannot go in there with guns blazing because they are Indian citizens and Indian laws will not allow this.

So to protect the tribe and anyone who may come into contact with them, India has declared the entire Sentinel Island, a protected area. This means no one is allowed to visit this Island - not even Indians. If you are an Indian citizen, you can visit other islands on Andaman and Nicobar.

It is sad that people like John Chau think that it is OK to toy with a group of humans who have been isolated for 66K years.

It is sad that people like John Chau think that it is OK to toy with a group of humans who have been isolated for 66K years. It is more sad that CNN called Mr Chau a missionary thereby demeaning the real missionaries.

Which news outlet didn`t call the missionary a missionary? The REAL missionaries should mind their own damned business or do their work here among the mentally ill Trumplings most of who have no idea what a real Christian is.
