American killed by bow and arrow trying to visit forbidden North Sentinel Island...

Interesting story about an American man hoping to teach the Word of God to a tribe of people living on an Indian island cut off from the outside world wound up paying a gruesome price for his missionary work. John Allen Chau journeyed to India earlier this month posing as a tourist, but outraged officials in the country say that this was no mere sightseeing trip. On the contrary, the young man's plan was to travel to North Sentinel Island, which is home to an isolated tribe of around two dozen people, whom he wished to convert to Christianity.

It appears that his initial mission was successful as, thanks to some help from a handful of local fishermen, he was able to reach North Sentinel Island by canoe late last week. When he arrived, however, it seems that the Sentinelese people were not too keen on breaking bread with the young man nor learning about his religion. Instead, they swiftly shot Chau with a barrage of arrows, smashed his boat, and killed him.

The island and its people are protected by the Indian government, who fear that the tribe could fall ill if they were exposed to 'foreign' germs and, as we have learned in this particular case, because the group is extremely hostile to outsiders. As such, while the Sentinelese will bear no responsibility for their role in Chau's demise, the fishermen who helped him reach the island are being charged with his death, since they had a hand in helping him with the deadly and highly illegal misadventure. Meanwhile, Indian officials are left with a problem on their hands in that they are now trying to figure out how to recover Chau's body from what one would assume is an already trigger happy tribe living on the island.

I read about this earlier today. I find it fascinating that these sorts of small tribal people, with little or no exposure to the modern world, still exist in various places. It's tragic that the man was killed, and it certainly gives emphasis to the restriction against anyone visiting the island.


The tribal people of the remote parts of India have a RIGHT TO THEIR WAY OF LIFE. ----as do the HINDU PEOPLE who live in the cities... <<<<< THAT IS WHY PROSELYTIZING is illegal in India. For better insight talk to a Hindu from India and stop being so damned closedminded
and provincial

What are you talking about? Where did I say anything about anyone not having a right to their way of life?
 
The Bill of Rights are the first 10 amendments to the Constitution.
Neither were Gods words, they were written by mankind here in the dirt of what was to become America.
The Founder share my view, not yours


OK. I can live through that.

But the Bill of Rights weren't Gods words.
They were God INSPIRED. I really don't see how that an be disputed

To fully understand the influence Bible scripture had on the writing of the U.S. Constitution, you must read the Founders own words. Beginning with the Declaration of Independence, the writer’s spelled out very clearly whom they owed their obedience to and whom their ultimate trust laid. They acknowledged a Creator and that our rights come from Him and that governments are instituted to protect all of those rights. They then listed their grievances and why they wanted to be free and independent. The U.S. Constitution was the remedy for all of the grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence. Remember these men pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor when they signed their names to the document.

The Constitution begins with the language “Blessings of Liberty” and “do ordain and establish” in the preamble and ends with the words “in the Year of our Lord September 17, 1787.” Please take notice of the word, “our.” The signers all agreed to this word and it implies that they were Christians. These are not just words; they have meaning and are an example of how much the Bible influenced the writers.

I don't get why so many hairs are raised here. Another country put laws and protections in place for a segment of their citizenry.

A man went there, got warned and still went back anyway. He defied their law and spit on the tribes warning and they made him dead for it. It was their right.

Someone puts one foot in my door without my permission, I'm going to put extra orifices in their extra stupid body.

they are to be held accountable for the murder of an innocent man.
He Wasn't Innocent
He Was A Criminal, Dis-Obeying The Law
As You Have Been Repeatedly Shown

He Wasn't Murdered
He Was Killed In Defense Of Their Homes
They Committed No Crime
HE Did....

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


Somebody "Invaded their Country" and they made sure he wouldn't do it again. Ask anyone in that area why they don't go there! Answer : They don't like outsiders, and I don't want to die are probably the top two answers.
So because these people have a history of killing people, its ok for them to kill more people? Why are you excusing cold blooded murder based on THAT?

Nope
He Was There ILLEGALLY
As The OP Article States

It Wasn't Cold Blooded Murder
He Was A CRIMINAL
Killed In The Commission Of A Crime
He Was Run Out, And Forced His Way Back
In Violation Of The Law
As He Was There ILLEGALLY -- As The OP States
They Committed No Crime -- HE Did
