Guy was told a bunch of times it was a REALLY, REALLY, bad idea to go.

They are savages missing out on gay marriage, transgender rights and Nancy Pelosi.

They don’t know what they’re missing.

II Corinthians 5:

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

It is stories like these that remind me of the myth of the noble savage.

Indian authorities -- who do not dare enforce their rule over North Sentinel island...

The article makes it sound like they are afraid of the natives, rather than the SJWs at the UN. I'm pretty sure the Indian Army could secure the place in a couple of hours, if the need arose.

I’m sure he understood the risk. Some are willing to risk all to share the message of Christ’s love.

Just leave it for the fishes.
Very sad, but he knew that he was breaking the law.
That law helps to protect these people from random contact with any diseases we modern men may be carrying.
We are immune to most these viruses, they would be vulnerable.

The more I think of it, I believe this man was setting himself up to be killed. An elaborate, well orchestrated suicide. Perhaps for the purpose of achieving ‘greatness’. No one who really knows is now saying.

There was probably a chance, when he was still in piles of poop.

...but then it rained.

Just what I’ve been telling others. His body is a memorial of the utter depravity of the island’s inhabitants. I understand that was not your point, but one thing that is true is that the North Sentinelese need Jesus Christ.

It’s not lost. We know right where it is.

Idiot reporters.

Whatever :)

The message of Christ’s love.

With no way of them understanding a single ####ing word he said.

No, he was just a dumb self righteous ####.

And now he’s a dead one :)

How do we share without risk? See Jim Elliot. It is the long game.

These are the people celebrated by made-up stuff like Indigenous Peoples Day. The Left attempting to rewrite history about the “noble savage.”

Probably by crabs.
The natives feared even his body, and dragged his body into the sea while using a rope to keep their distance.

Police are talking with anthropologists and tribal welfare experts about the best way to establish contact.

So we stand aside and let them die of simple infections, let them be crippled by easily treatable injuries, let the children grow up malnourished, etc.

Talk about a civilization that has totally lost confidence in itself. Yes, native cultures were too often treated with indifference or hostility in the past. Yes, we should treat them with dignity and respect now. No, we shouldn't infect them with welfare state dependency. But to deprive people of painless dentistry, clean drinking water, and chocolate milkshakes is simply cruel.

Leaving the tribe isolated is, in fact, a cruel and brutal human experiment.

Pankaj Sekhsaria, a tribal rights expert and author on the Andaman and Nicobar islands, said it would be “a futile exercise” to try to retrieve Chau’s body. ..................................... LOL, have one native come out on the beach to trade gold nuggets or a large diamond for a knife and see how long it will take for the Island to be invaded.
