Do you know what hubris means? You are saying the opposite. Chau's family is FORGIVING the islanders and the sea crew because they are Christian. They don't want anyone punished. That is what true Christians do.

Chau’s Family is forgiving the islanders because they see killing Chau as the crime that needs to be forgiving. In reality the forgiveness that is needed is by the islanders for Chau’s parents for raising and indoctrinating a genocidal son. The crime wasn’t murdering Chau, that was self defense. The crime was invading the island.

Oh come on. I agree it was reckless and foolhardy for him to go there, but do you really think he went in there with the intention of committing genocide?

"I didn't mean to" is an excuse for 3 year olds. He did something that had the potential to cause a genocide. He knew it was against the law, he almost certainly knew why, and he did it anyway. I think genocidal is a fair adjective to apply to him.

Reckless and foolhardy is when you do something that endangers yourself. He endangered 40+ people, a language, a culture, and a way of life.

If he had 2 working brain cells (debatable) he would have known that disease was a serious threat to these people and their whole culture.

Hate isn’t the right word. Disgust is what you’re seeing here.

Disgusting actions by a disgusting person.

You think a guy who spent time getting a special permit to the Andaman Islands and bribing 7 fishermen to get there didn't realize there was a public health reason why the Indian government kept the Sentinelese isolated?

+1 Maybe, possibly he was deluded enough to think God would keep them free of disease, but he's still very wrong for risking the entire population.
