UN American instagrammer killed by uncontacted tribe in Andaman Islands - becomes pincushion for Stone Age arrows

An American man has been killed by an endangered tribe in India's Andaman and Nicobar islands.

Fishermen who took the man to North Sentinel island say tribespeople shot him with arrows and left his body on the beach.

He has been identified as John Allen Chau, a 27 year old from Alabama.

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

Estimates say the Sentinelese, who are totally cut off from civilisation, number only between 50 and 150.

Local media have reported that Chau may have wanted to meet the tribe to preach Christianity to them.

But on social media the young man presented himself as a keen traveller and adventurer.

"Police said Chau had previously visited North Sentinel island about four or five times with the help of local fishermen," journalist Subir Bhaumik, who has been covering the islands for years, told BBC Hindi.

"The number of people belonging to the Sentinelese tribe is so low, they don't even understand how to use money. It's in fact illegal to have any sort of contact with them."

In 2017, the Indian government also said taking photographs or making videos of the aboriginal Andaman tribes would be punishable with imprisonment of up to three years.

The AFP news agency quoted a source as saying that Chau had tried and failed to reach the island on 14 November. But then he tried again two days later.

"He was attacked by arrows but he continued walking.

"The fishermen saw the tribals tying a rope around his neck and dragging his body. They were scared and fled," the report added.

Chau's body was spotted on 20 November. According to the Hindustan Times, his remains have yet to be recovered.

"It's a difficult case for the police," says Mr Bhaumik. "You can't even arrest the Sentinelese."

getting BTFO by Pajeet an-prims is pretty embarrassing way to go

Indian police don't give a shit when American women are raped, why would they now?

Also lol at instagrammer meeting reality.

 

[Sir Auroras]

Lol he assumed these people were evenly remotely rational.

The idea of one of these tribal natives in a modern jail amuses the hell out of me. It's like putting a caveman in modern jail.

The story of North Sentinel is pretty interesting.

Also, that guy is a dumbfuck.

 

[Digital Thunder]

There’s a joke about the irony of this occurring around Thanksgiving in here somewhere, but I don’t have the knack to find it.

 

[Clem Fandango]

Sentinelese know how to protect their border

>North Sentinel island

So what I can imagine happened is this dipshit was implicitly told no when he asked to go. Because, you know, it’s been illegal to come within a certain distance of North Sentinal for twenty or thirty years now. So this idiot went to some seedy and shady dudes to get him over there, and basically paid to die.

This is a tribe that in the past has shot at helicopters with bows an arrows, how in any way did he think this would end well?

 

[repentance]

Well that's one way to say "fuck off, we're full".

 

[Konover]

Seeing some white douchebag getting clubbed and shot with arrows would make for an interesting instagram post

 

[Al Gulud]

Totally deserved it. We must secure the existence of our people and a future for native Indian children.

Isn’t this the tribe that reacts violently to any outsiders at all? Because if so we’ve known this about them for a very long time.

Yep, even back to when the islands were first charted by European explorers they were incredibly hostile.

And avoiding them is so easy that the entire living population of Earth is currently doing it.

judging by the Cantonese surname and his 56% features, he is actually a hapa, so maybe we should be thanking those Stone Age Pajeets for preventing him from going full supreme gentleman

 

[XYZpdq]

Does cell phone service reach the island? There's probably a good "the gods must be crazy" remake in these guys getting on the web with Dead Dummy's phone.

Why does he look like he’s morphing into Donald Glover in that last picture?

Think Trump needs to get a couple of these savages to protect the US border. Those Hondurans will fuck off back home I'm no time.

 

[Joan Nyan]

Name ONE (1) good reason why we should not invade and impose civilization on these savages.
