An American tourist was killed by arrows shot by protected tribesmen living in one of the world's most isolated regions tucked in India's Andaman islands, police said Wednesday.

John Chau, 27, had taken a boat ride with local fishermen before venturing alone in a canoe to the remote North Sentinel Island where the indigenous people live cut off completely from the outside world.

He was an idiot. The North Sentinelese people have been cut off from the rest of humanity for 20,000 years.

If he landed there, he would have infected them with the germs from the past 20,000 years of human history. They would have died out.

The island is restricted access - the indian government doesn't govern it - it is governed by the Sentinelese. They shoot poison tip arrows at anyone who gets close

These are a very rare people -- related to the Aborigines and PNGers as the earliest humans who ventured out of africa

They may LOOK African but their genes are quite different from sub-saharan Africans and completely divergent from the Khoisan (Bushmen) and Pygmy populations (who themselves differ from Bantu speakers genes)

Definitely not in any known language. Anthropologists have brought natives from neighboring islands close by boat in an attempt to decipher the Andaman language, and nobody could understand it.

It’s not every day enough meat for a tribal feast just rows itself over to your island...

The islanders kill stranded sailors washed ashore there too.

Islamic jihadists force their will on people. A lone Christian missionary does not.

As other articles indicate (as well as all travel information I have read put up by the government of India) it is known that the natives will kill you.

It is also known why, and if you had bothered to consider the details of this article you might have gotten a clue. They moved his body only from a distance, dragging it into the see with a noose.

The primary reason they kill outsiders is that they see them as bringing death.

The reason for this perception is (of course) that for the Andaman Islanders outsiders generally are. They have been isolated for so long that their immune systems have never had to deal with diseases that no longer even
stress westerner's bodies enough to produce an unpleasant symptom. The diseases many of us carry can and will kill these people. And if they ignorantly attribute the cause to evil spirits rather than microbes they are still accurate about outsiders bringing death.

Your arrogance and ignorant disdain about whether these people live or die confirms what I said about you needing to house illegals Lurkin. You don't give a crap about the dangers they can bring.

Let's see if you can hold on to that when it hits you.

we need stronger arrow control laws.
Safer bows & safer arrows. -— NERF!

No one needs a full quiver of arrows to kill a deer!
