The tribe just stood their ground....the right should be proud of that

If that’s the case, then the left should be angry about that.

There's nothing wrong with standing your ground when it's justifiable.  

I agree...

Then why make the statement you just did? Is "the left" angry about a justifiable stand your ground incident I am blanking on here?

Because he's falling back into the right-winged "I'm angry at progress" corner instinctively.

Why make the statement that he just did?  Why does everything have to come down to the left or the right?

Because the right has a real problem with hypocrisy.

Yawn...pretty sure there are plenty examples of left and right wing hypocrisy in the world today.  Tons on the AMT alone.

The guy went to the island the day before he was killed correct?  He got shot that day as well. 

Dude was an idiot.  He thought god was going to protect him and Darwin took over.

Does anyone around here, right or left, disagree with this?  I know some may see him as a martyr, but even the Bible says people should obey the “law of the land”.  He completely disregarded the law and suffered the consequences of doing so, just like the “asylum seekers” that ate a rubber bullet in the process of breaking the law.

Why do you put asylum seekers in quotation?

This is a perfect example of "shit white people do"... dude paddled up with a bible & cross lol

Lol, you managed to be a bigot and make a racist statement. I’m glad we get to read everyone’s real thoughts on immigration. 

In what way do you think responses to this story reflect posters’ opinions on immigration, given that it is about a completely different issue? 

It’s not different in the least. Someone was attempting to go to a land. They weren’t welcome. The people there believed that the alien may have come to take over their way of life or to harm them or put stress on their people. They made sure it didn’t happen. You all (most) believe they were right in what they did.

Are you high? 

No, sorry I don’t partake. Maybe I should so I can block out the hypocrisy I see from all of us. I have to pass on it though. 

There is no hypocrisy on display here in this thread. Your analogy was poorly constructed.

This idiot wasn’t even looking to immigrate so the scenarios can’t even be compared for one. And if he was... well then the two situations still aren’t comparable. At all.

Oh, they are. Just like saying the Indians should have kept the Europeans out of North America. 

No.

You're being silly now.

For the record (and without a doubt), if the Indians had known what was ahead for them... they should have met the European invasion with as much force as they could muster. Saying this is not suggesting I am apologizing for my existence- I'm not.

Is that why we’re sending troops to the border? For what might be???? 

I am assuming so. You’re worried that a caravan of broken Honduran people fleeing the violence of their home country is the first step in the decimation of the US people.

No?

You all seem to be the ones against immigration. I was just pointing out hypocrisy. 

No you are not pointing out hypocrisy -- you show your own problems with connecting dots and thinking out analogys.

No, I can connect the dots that some people refuse to acknowledge. Read what’s written. 

the caravan is not an invasion. 
most here are not against legal immigration or claiming asylum
the christian was SEEN by the inhabitants of the island as an invasion, and was dealt with accordingly. and whether you wish to acknowledge it or not, his intent is irrelevant to whether he was actually an invader or not. he most likely did not intend to infect them with bacteria we are immune to. but that's what he very likely could have done. 
they didn't know he was christian. they don't fucking know what a christian even is. I would have the same non-feelings towards the guy had he been an ahtiest going there to peddle his Scientific ways. 

So you say the caravan is not an invasion but this guy was...I’m just trying to understand how these are different.  Not being a smart ass, but what makes it different for someone to go to that island vs enter another country illegally? 

Is it really just about protecting an ancient tribe? Cause I guess that’s the only difference I see and why it should be handled differently. They don’t have the means to handle the situation any different then they do without risking their lives and their entire way of life. Countries, like the US, do. Otherwise it is the exact same situation, but the way it should be handled can be different. Is that correct?

america has all the information (see: common sense) to know the caravan is not an invasion. the tribe do not. THAT is the difference. 

I'm not sure how one can say "it is the exact same situation except for all of the determining factors". because that's what you are saying here.
