    So we are ok with killing "outsiders" now? guess they saw it as an "invasion" lol
    I thought "stand your ground" was acceptable in the good ol USofA? this primitive tribe does what it perceives it has to do in order to survive. they see an outsider and it is an imminent threat to them. hence, yes, killing him is their only option. I don't blame them. 

    he was a fucking moron. I'd say "deserves" to die is a bit harsh, but I definitely do not begrudge the tribe for their actions. 
    Full on deserved it. And I wish all the Native Americans had done the same thing to the Europeans landing in North America back in the day - they could have prevented mass genocide.
    Then we would never have existed.

    Existing Native Americans weren't exactly Buddhist monks. They waged war amongst each other and tried to decimate rival nations by 'invading' rival territories.

    I'm not saying I am down with the European treatment of them. I'm saying the invasion of North America was inevitable. This earth is only so big.

    Yes, I realize we never would have existed. So what? No skin off our backs, lol. And I don't care what the Natives had going on either. I don't really get how you think any of what you said is relevant to what I said TBH. I'm sure you got the gist of the statement I was making, yes?

    I don't know if that makes me seem like a total asshole, but I can't seem to muster even a little bit of sympathy for this guy. What a fucking idiot. And a total arrogant asshole too. His attitude is the same one that wipes out entire civilizations, and ruined many others, throughout history. And quite frankly, I actually do think he deserved to die, all things considered. I think that tribe did the exact right thing in killing him immediately. I feel like they had an unalienable right to do that.
    No, it doesn't.  I can understand your reaction.  He shouldn't have gone there, he wouldn't have got there if just one of those people who transported him there went to the authorities...all too late for now.  I do not think he deserved to die, but he is a Christian, so is he really dead ... or is he happy playing the harp on a cloud...lol.

    More likely getting a lecture from God about the irresponsible, stupid thing he attempted to do, lol. God's all, "dude, why ya wanna fuck with those people and ruin them with Christianity??"

    I think they did wrong, it's not ok to arrow down an unarmed defenseless man. It's sad that he was so naive but I would never say they did the right thing.

    you have to understand, though, that they most likely have very limited knowledge of the outside world. so to them, this guy is a massive threat to their lives, so they basically had no choice in their minds.

    I understand that they have no knowledge. They could have just ignored him though, why justify them killing him.

    but they have extreme fear of something they don't know. that's how primitive tribes work. you tresspass on their land, they kill you. I know it doesn't make sense to us, otherwise we'd all be murdering our mailmen, but to them, he is there to kill them, so they kill him first.

    Their immune system can not handle many illnesses that this jackass could have brought with him and caused harm to them.  I don't think he deserved death, but on the other hand, just how fucking stupid are some of these Christians.  He may not have deserved death, but he is also an asshole for putting their lives at risk.

    I it was a pack of wolves I would agree with you. I understand what you're saying I'm just saying I think they did wrong.
