American killed by bow and arrow trying to visit forbidden North Sentinel Island...

Just because they are a tribe, doesnt make them immune to punishment for murder. Someone from that tribe needs to be put it prison.

Oh STFU. Seriously.

Why is it bad for me to kill some with a bow and arrow, but not for someone from this tribe? Youre taking a really weird position that i dont think youre going to be able to properly defend.

If somebody comes into your house without your permission you're allowed to shoot them.

No im not. If im not being threatened by someone in my yard, i cant shoot him.

They are being threatened by disease any time an outsider visits. That's one of the reasons it's illegal to go there.

Ok that was beyond stupid. What are the other reasons? I need a good laugh.

It's readily apparent you do not grasp the concept of the situation.

Note to self. When approaching hostile Indians on remote island, always be ARMED.

Or be ready to run like hell.

He made a bad choice and paid for it.

That goes without saying, however murder is murder.

They are a homogenous community on the island that is illegal to disturb.

American killed by bow and arrow-wielding tribe while trying to visit remote Indian island

An American tourist trying to visit a lush, remote island in India has been killed by a tribe completely cut off from the outside world and known to attack outsiders with bows and arrows, police revealed Wednesday.

Indian officials have identified the victim as John Allen Chau, 27. They added that he was illegally ferried by fishermen to North Sentinel Island last week, part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a group of islands in the Bay of Bengal between India and Burma.

“Adventure awaits. So do leeches,” read the final post on his Instagram account, dated Nov. 2. On his Facebook profile, Chau described himself as a “soccer coach, traveller, and writer.” He often posted images of his worldwide exploits online, such as hikes in Washington state and prior trips to India.

Dependera Pathak, director-general of police on India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, told the Associated Press that Chau arrived in the region on Oct. 16 and stayed in a hotel while he prepared to visit the prohibited island.

He said Chau organized his visit to the island through a friend who hired seven fishermen for $325 to take him there on a boat, which also towed his kayak.

Chau went ashore in his kayak on Nov. 15 and sent the boat with the fishermen out to sea to avoid detection, Pathak said. He interacted with some of the tribespeople, giving them gifts he had prepared such as a football and fish. But the tribespeople became angry and shot an arrow at him which apparently hit a book he was carrying, Pathak said.

The American's kayak became damaged, so he swam to the fishermen's boat, which was waiting at a prearranged location. There he spent the night and wrote out his experiences on pages of paper which he gave to the fishermen, Pathak said.

In one of the notes handed over, according to the New York Times, Chau wrote about Jesus bestowing him with the strength to visit some of the most forbidden places on Earth.

Chau then set off for the island again the following day. Sources who spoke to AFP though said once he set foot on shore, he was “attacked by arrows but he continued walking.

“The fishermen saw the tribals tying a rope around his neck and dragging his body,” one source added.

Following Chau's death, the fishermen left for Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where they informed Chau's friend, who notified his family, Pathak said.

He said the family got in touch with Indian police and U.S. consular officials.

"It was a case of misdirected adventure," he added.

The body, according to Reuters, has not yet been recovered as of Wednesday, and those who took him to the island are said to have been arrested.

"The investigation in this matter is on," senior police officer Deepak Yadav said, announcing that the seven fishermen have been taken into custody.

Did this dummy spend even five minutes Googling "North Sentinel Island" before going on his "adventure"? Turns out they don't like visitors.

Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.

Go get them, vigilante boy! Is this the future of America? Dumbasses like these 2? Wtf?

Whoops, 3. I forgot about CNN boy.

Homogenous, homosexual, what’s the difference?! Murder is murder

No. The Indian government is, and the island is under their jurisdiction. The tribe didn't have a city council meeting, and make the laws. The Indian government did.

 

[JoeMoma]

The islanders need to build a wall....to keep idiots out.

Actually, killing the few idiots that come in works very well.

 

[Claudette]

Guess they didn't want to missionaried.

Can't say I blame them.

 

[aaronleland]

Note to self. When approaching hostile Indians on remote island, always be ARMED.

Then the Indian government would just kill you, and the US government would consider it justified, because you went into their jurisdiction illegally and started shooting at their people.

I guarantee there is no law thats says tribal dudes can murder you with bows.

Seems the only law the tribe recognizes is their own.

The tribe has nothing to do with the law. The Indian government has no contact with them either, yet they made the law themselves. Their jurisdiction, their rules.

Then the Indian government would just kill you, and the US government would consider it justified, because you went into their jurisdiction illegally and started shooting at their people.

What do you think should happen to tribesman shooting people? Should the indian government kill them too?

You obviously haven't thought this through for two seconds, or even read the article for that matter. The Indian government wants NOTHING to do with this tribe. That's the point of making the island off limits.

What kind of dumbass would go back the next day? I'm thinking he's probably Asian with a name like Chau.

Yes he was Asian -- guess his IQ wasn't that high...

Maybe he was Christian and was trying to proselytize to the savages
