OT We're going to war!

How dare they attack an innocent American like this. They should have just closed the door in the guy's face like I do with the different religious groups that knock on my door.

SMH. The people on that island are known for their xenophobia and have killed intruders before. There is also the small matter that he was breaking the law by going there. WTF is wrong with some people that they think they can just do whatever they want without consequences?

The guy was a massive dick and I don't feel bad about him dying at all.

His own fault.

Did they retrieve the body or did the natives eat him

Chau's body is still on the island, according to Indian authorities. Indian law protects the Sentinelese from outside contact and has made it difficult to prosecute crimes committed on the island.

"The British colonial occupation of the Andaman Islands decimated the tribes living there, wiping out thousands of tribespeople, and only a fraction of the original population now survive. So the Sentinelese fear of outsiders is very understandable," Stephen Corry, the director of tribal protection organization Survival International, said in a statement from the group.

Cannibal jokes before thanksgiving?

How fitting.

So you all approve of their fatal version of Trump's Wall?

We should just slaughter anyone who tries to sneak in?
Not that that's a bad thing, just trying to get a head count here so we all know where we really stand.

I invite them all in and pepper them with questions. They soon grow exhausted and never come back. I don't have to be rude or blunt.
I sought out the Church I was interested in and now receive guidance that I find to be truly Christian, this includes welcoming others with differing views and backgrounds. Our Church welcomes all. We are also not pushy and believe that our religion is separate from our politics.

The body of a missionary who died after being shot with arrows upon trespassing on an island that houses a tribe who is protected from the outside world, may never be recovered. Officials may leave his body there so they don't disturb the tribe.

Ummm!
But Trump should teach the Saudis a lesion over them killing a dude in Turkey?

The islanders were practicing Trump's vision of how immigration law should work. Why would you expect him to equate the two cases?

Or is this an admission that Trump believes writing something the government doesn't like is a capital crime?

Pretty simple.

The Consensus is, we should not intervene in why or how those people enforce their border laws.
Then I think it follows, we should not intervene in how they enforce any of their laws.

Perhaps we should take a stand off view with most nations? At least until it becomes an issue of our national interest.

Nothing really to do with Trump. More for the members of the forum to consider for consistency.

Protecting journalists IS in our national interest. As is protecting residents of the US, and employees of US companies.

Well it is your right to form an opinion. However, I doubt you can drum up a consensus to avenge the resident in the story.
I think you will be in a tiny minority.

I think you will be in a huge minority.

Depends on what you mean by avenge, of course. I don't think very many people will be in favor of torturing and dismembering MBS in an eye-for-an-eye response.

However, there are plenty of other responses that might get broad support.

Stay classy bro.

Not only was he a massive dick he was a huge narcissist and he put the lives of the villagers in danger just so HE could be the one to save them with his Jesus. They don't ask for his Jesus or his contagions. I don't feel bad he died either, he should have known better.

Of course he should have known better. Any logical person, myself included, thinks the correct thing to do is just leave those people alone.

I just dont find it constructive to talk shit about a misguided, recently murdered young dude, and shit all over his religion because you dont like it. He payed with his life, was that not enough?

He wasn't just playing with his life though he was playing with theirs also. He literally put that whole island in danger just so he could live some sort of religious crusader saviour fantasy. Please don't make him a martyer either, he wasn't murdered, they were protecting themselves.

I don't think anyone is shitting on his religion, just the people who practice it in shitty ways. It's constructive to practice your religion in non shitty ways no matter what that religion is.

Since the murder of a journalist is not actually legal in either Saudi Arabia or Turkey, that argument doesn't really apply here. There is also the matter of protecting the rights of American firms that do business overseas. Neither the victim nor his employer broke the laws of either Saudi Arabia or Turkey.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The last time Saudi Arabia was involved with American deaths we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.

Thanks Obama!

He was definitely murdered. The Sentinalese have no concept of pandemic, lets be realistic. They have literally killed every person whose ever set foot on that island. They are exceptionally hostile. But at the end of the day it is their saving grace. They ironically and unknowingly are protecting themselves from diseases they have no concept of. I say let them keep killin' though. If someone wants to risk it like that unfortunate fellow then fine. You wont catch my ass anywhere near there.
