This isn't new news, a Christian Missionary named Jim Elliot was killed in the jungles of Ecuador at the hands of the primitive Indians called the Aucas in 1956. There was a documentary made on his journey..........

He gave his life for his faith.........

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the thing that really bugs me. There are 7 of those tribal natives that are under arrest for the murder of that missionary.

How can a country deliberately isolate an indigenous group, keeping them in darkness spiritually and physically. Then, all of the sudden apply modern civilized laws upon these men or women who have never even conceived such a thing?

(Note: The fact that they are not yet disease resistant, shouldn’t prevent them from being slowly, and medically soundly being introduced into modern life, with a host of medical and physical advances that would reduce their death by accident or illness in isolation.)
