Of course they had arrows. Why would they be carrying bows without the arrows? I was replying to someone who thought they might be trying to construct a message in the sand with what he/she apparently believed were sticks or reeds.

John Allen Chau was killed last week by North Sentinel islanders who apparently shot him with arrows and then buried his body on the beach, police say.
But even officials don't travel to North Sentinel, where people live as their ancestors did thousands of years ago, and where outsiders are seen with suspicion and attacked.
"It's a difficult proposition," said Dependera Pathak, director-general of police on India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where North Sentinel is located.
"We have to see what is possible, taking utmost care of the sensitivity of the group and the legal requirements." ..."
Police are consulting anthropologists, tribal welfare experts and scholars to figure out a way to recover the body, he said.
While visits to the island are heavily restricted, Chau paid fishermen last week to take him near North Sentinel, using a kayak to paddle to shore and bringing gifts including a football and fish. ..."
he wrote about his visit and left his notes with the fishermen. He returned to North Sentinel the next day, Nov. 16.
What happened then isn't known, but on the morning of the following day, the fishermen watched from the boat as tribesmen dragged Chau's body along the beach and buried his remains. ..."
Chau was apparently shot and killed by arrows, but the cause of death can't be confirmed until his body is recovered, Pathak said. ..."
"He didn't go there for just adventure. I have no question it was to bring the gospel of Jesus to them," Staver said.
Staver said Chau's last notes to his family on Nov. 16 told them that they might think he was crazy but that he felt it was worth it and asked that they not be angry if he was killed.

They didn’t eat him?
What the USAF looks like to the EBEs.
These guys are really wild! ................................. Yeah, I bet they’re fighting over who gets the drumstick.
They “found their beach”
I have a library full of excellent history books
You raise an interesting concept that begs for clarification. Who were those "others" responsible for bringing the "west" out of the darkness?
And bras.
I don’t see the point in recovering the body. Leave it to rot. Good riddance.
Leave them be we have no right invading their island and “civilizing” them against their will.
Of course they had arrows. Why would they be carrying bows without the arrows? I was replying to someone who thought they might be trying to construct a message in the sand with what he/she apparently believed were sticks or reeds.
Christian martyrs. Prior to the introduction of Christianity, Europe was not a good place to be. Christianity civilized us.
“Betting he’s condemned and the savages are canonized.”
Let me guess, you want him to receive an award for being stupid?
Those people didnt ask for him to show up
“Offer the tribesman jobs as American Border Patrol Agents.”
Excellent idea! I like creative thinkers.
Agreed, that he shouldn't have gone there, but Leave him to rot, good riddance? That's pretty twisted.
Or are these indigenous peeps in this picture from Africa or South America or some other place?

And that second picture looks like a (c)rap concert ...
In the overall scheme of thing, the foolish dead man is nothingness
