Jean-Jacques Rousseau, call your office!

[CodeToad]

Not possible. Liberals say this continent was peaceful and tranquil until the white man showed up and killed everybody.

[James C. Bennett]

Humans are a violent species. Genocide is a common theme all over the planet, both in the past, and into the modern times.

not surprised..tribes had many battles with each other.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

White Europeans did this!

[ALPAPilot]

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld: it had to be.

[vetvetdoug]

Happened about the same time Mohamed arrived. Connections?

[stylin19a]

14,000 plus massacred in a few days....I can't even imagine how large a force you needed to do this ?

[guitarplayer1953]

That's what I thought too the noble peace loving native indians.

You know, it’s not just humans. My dog kills lizards just for the fun of it. She never eats them.

[James C. Bennett]

I’ve heard of cats eating the cadavers of their lonely, dead owners, too.

[aruanan]

Hey, they couldn’t help it. They were just channeling the white man from the future.

[muawiyah]

14,000 fragments ~ just a few hundred all told.

[aruanan]

The entire assemblage comprises 14,882 human skeletal fragments,

So is that from 14,882 humans or 14,882 pieces from 15 or 20 thoroughly macerated unfortunates?

[Morpheus2009]

If there was any evidence of bad blood amongst indigenous Americans, it was presented back in the days of Hernan Cortez, and his diplomatic manipulation in the conquest of Mexico. The Aztecs and Montezuma had many enemies, and Cortez recruited a known enemy of Montezuma, Malinche, as his translator and his concubine. The Spanish wrote loads of how bad the Aztecs were for human sacrifice, which the Aztecs obtained from prisoners of war from rival tribes.

[kamikaze2000]

People can be nice as individuals, but when forced to live with a savage group, it’s hard not to become a savage.

See muslim mobs as a good modern example.

[BuffaloJack]

This was not the only genecide of indiginous American people by other indiginous American people. The Neuter Indians of the Niagara region of New York were exterminated by tribes still there now.

[Morpheus2009]

The Aztecs supposedly sacrificed prisoners of war at the rate of tens of thousands by the time the Spanish arrived in Mexico.
