When people won’t take a hint you have to make a point.

An arrow makes a good point. :)

Rieli must not have been a very good expert.

I would not want to prejudge, but it appears he failed to observe some local protocol.

That and his Kevlar vest.

“They believe that only because we are playing falsely with them”

That’s because they are a science project at this point in time.

yes, a small island in the Andaman group, I think. The natives have made it absolutely clear that any outsider will be killed, no exceptions. The island had been swept by cholera or plague decades before when there was regular contact with inter island traders. The epidemic nearly exterminated the native population. The survivors decided that there would be no more contact with outsiders, period.

Guess he wasn't the expert he thought he was.

An expert should have known that these guys had bows and arrows and use them on a daily basis to kill things.

Make that “former” expert, who maybe wasn’t the expert he claimed to be.

“And it’s easier and safer for them to just kill you rather than bargain. They would not think twice about doing it. Nor would they feel badly afterwards.”

I dunno. Somehow I think Kevin Costner could pull this one off. He has a lot of experience with Native Americans and dead Baseball Players from previous eras and such. ;)

*SNORT* Who is more amusing to me than me? Nobody. LOL!

I am somehow repelled and yet amused at the same time...

Oldie but goodie!
I’m a young septuagenarian!
Few if any would say I was good for much of anything.

Same here.
