this was my favorite remark in the article, this quote from an admirer: 'So proud of you John. You are a true hero and it was such an honor to know you. Thank you for your obedience and passion, it's inspiring.' LOL hero? I prefer my heroes to not be stupid and to be alive. |

He probably genocided the whole island by exposing them to diseases they have no immunity to because of their extreme isolation, wow, awesome, dude!

Reminds of the woke idiots who quit their jobs and went on a worldwide bicycling tour. Were warned not to go near ISIS territories, ignored it and went anyway because they felt " people are inherently good" . ISIS ran them over in a car and killed them A young couple, Jay Austin and Lauren Geogehan, both in their late 20s, were among four cyclists killed in Tajikistan in July in an attack ISIS claimed responsibility for, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday. Austin and Geogehan, who quit their hectic office jobs in Washington, DC, were on the trip of their lives, enjoying “more peaceful pedaling through gorgeous landscapes, more sleeping in open fields under clear skies, more quiet sunsets, more friendly people, more adventure and, importantly, more time together too, living life on simpler, more meaningful terms,” their blog reads. Their trip started in July 2017 and took them from South Africa through Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Malawi to Tanzania, from where they flew through Egypt to Morocco. The couple then rode along much of the European Mediterranean shoreline and from Istanbul, Turkey, flew to Central Asia. From there, Austin and Geogehan were planning to continue toward eastern Asia, Australia and South America. Throughout their journey, the couple said they were trying to prove “Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own,” Austin wrote. “By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind.” And they were mostly right. Through the blog and social media, the couple shared their positive experiences, from being handed ice-cream bars by a truck driver, to being treated to an open-air concert in a meadow where they had pitched their tent in Kazakhstan, to being given a bouquet of flowers at the top of a mountain pass by little girls in Kyrgyzstan. But Austin and Geogehan ran out of luck. They were among four cyclists from the United States, Switzerland and the Netherlands who were killed in late July when a car intentionally plowed into them on a rural road in the mountains of Tajikistan. After the crash, the attackers also stabbed their victims, as reported by the US Embassy. A purported video of the attack received from an anonymous source and published by Radio Free Europe showed a car making a U-turn after knocking down the cyclists and driving over several people on a narrow road in broad daylight. Several days later, an Islamic State outlet published a separate video of five men pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and claiming responsibility for the attack. The men, who speak Russian, sit under a black Islamic State flag and refer to each other by Arabic names. The terrorist group’s claim runs counter to a statement by the Tajik government which accused a banned Islamist opposition party of being behind the attack. However, the party’s exiled leaders denied any link to the attack and said the authorities were using the incident for political purposes. Austin and Geogehan’s story went viral on social media, with many commenters arguing that the couple’s itinerary was naive and their deaths senseless. However, many experts of the region rejected the idea that the two Americans were careless, arguing that while ISIS’s presence is still considerable in Iraq and Syria and has grown in Southeast Asia, the group has morphed back into what it used to be in other areas – a guerrilla group carrying out deadly attacks by local terrorist cells. The July incident was the first known attack of its kind against Western tourists in Tajikistan, a remote ex-Soviet state located north of Afghanistan in towering mountains, where Islamists fought an insurgency against a Moscow-backed government in the 1990s. |

That was probably a sign from God that he should leave but he ignored it. As soon as he set foot on the island, which is off-limits to visitors, Chau found himself facing a flurry of arrows - but he kept walking. |

obviously this guy is kind of an idiot. but i think the bigger idiot is this guy : "William Stark, ICC's regional manager, paid tribute to Chau and condemned his killing. 'We here at International Christian Concern are extremely concerned by the reports of an American missionary being murdered in India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands. 'Our thoughts and prayers go out to both John's family and friends. 'A full investigation must be launched in this this murder and those responsible must be brought to justice.' He added: 'India must take steps to counter the growing wave of intolerance and violence." |

Quote: Chau went ashore in his kayak on Nov. 15 and sent the boat with the fishermen out to sea to avoid detection, Pathak said. He interacted with some of the tribespeople, giving them gifts he had prepared such as a football and fish. But the tribespeople became angry and shot an arrow at him which apparently hit a book he was carrying, Pathak said. The American's kayak became damaged, so he swam to the fishermen's boat, which was waiting at a prearranged location. There he spent the night and wrote out his experiences on pages of paper which he gave to the fishermen, Pathak said. In one of the notes handed over, according to the New York Times, Chau wrote about Jesus bestowing him with the strength to visit some of the most forbidden places on Earth. Chau then set off for the island again the following day. Sources who spoke to AFP though said once he set foot on shore, he was “attacked by arrows but he continued walking. “The fishermen saw the tribals tying a rope around his neck and dragging his body,” one source added. He had already been shot at and chose to go back the next day. |
