You didn't read far enough. The 3rd paragraph.

Contact with the endangered Andaman tribes living in isolation from the world is illegal because of the risks to them from outside disease.

I read the whole thing. Nothing I said is untrue. All I said is that he was shot on the beach. Im not saying he is innocent.

Then you intentionally left out a very important part. "Trespassers will be shot" is well understood in America, especially in a state like Alabama.

These savages deserve exterminatus

Got what he deserved. He knew the deal, even got chased away with arrows on his first attempt. Should get a Darwin Award.

We have a Darwin Award winner.

"We refuse to call him [John Allen Chau] a tourist. Yes, he came on a tourist visa but he came with a specific purpose to preach on a prohibited island," Pathak [Director General of Police] said.

Chau did not inform the police of his intentions to travel to the island to attempt to convert its inhabitants.

He was injured by arrows on the 16th, and he went back again on the 17th and got killed.

Nope. I added a link so that everyone could read the entire story.

God even sent him a warning that He didn't want missionaries on the islands.

That tribe needs a wall. And make the Americans pay for it!

Unfortunately several videos about this tribe have gone viral on YouTube. The attention inevitably leads to idiots like this guy trying to be the first one to contact them.

I wonder if the tribesmen were playing Iron Maiden?

I think that counts as contact.

Darwinism works in wonderful ways. Serves himself right. Those islanders have an exclusion zone for a reason.

Next year will see the inaugural running of the North Sentinel Island 50 miler.

All you crazy ultra runners drop me a line and I will sort out a comped entry.

Missionaries are like rats: the first to jump ashore to infest native areas free form their influence.

You sensible guys need to look into a group called The Joshua Project. They track heathens, it seems, and they dictated that this group of uncontacted natives "need to be" contacted to be told of the "god" they must worship.

They should be contacted and told about modern medicine and air conditioning at least.

They are not actually "uncontacted" . The contact has just been cut off.
