An American man was killed on an island inhabited by a tribe known to resist outside contact in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. And, his body still lies there.

The American was identified as 27-year-old John Allen Chau, who sources said was a Christian missionary who wanted to convert the Sentinelese tribe that inhabits the island where he was killed.

Chau was killed by members of this tribe, which is protected under Indian law, a senior police officer told India Today TV.

The officer stressed that the Sentinelese must be left alone and that any forced contact with the outside world could put them in danger.

One bad exposure could wipe them out as a viable population.

Hell will wipe them out as a viable population also.

It appears that the people on that island have found out what a mess the rest of the world is in so they have NO DESIRE to have outside influences change their way of life. They might have something there. Too bad we can't do that from time to time right here.

We could use a few of their border guards here.

Awesome idea!

Hey, you’re not one of them, are you?

Yes.

They arrested the fishermen who brought him to the Island.

He is lucky he wasn’t eaten. Traveling to the Andamans is suicide.

“They arrested the fishermen who brought him to the Island.”

I wondered about that but none of the reports were specific. Thanks.
