"All Cultures Are Equal": Canuck Tourist Studying "Natural Medicine" Lynched In Peru
04-23-2018, 02:24 PM
It's amazing how we can (rightfully) criticize these primitive attempts at "justice" when our own Western legal systems often resemble social lynchings, especially in "rape" cases or when cops gun down almost always dangerous black suspects.
That said, this sad tale is a great example of why the "all cultures are equal" mantra is seriously flawed.
TL;DR of this story - SJW and absent father who refused to grow up spends years in the Amazon jungle learning "natural medicine" from an old lady. He is accused of her murder (actually probably orchestrated by illegal loggers or the like) and is promptly beaten and strangled to death with kids and emaciated dogs watching.
Somewhat NSFW footage of his death: https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=9RFub_1524426119
Go to any South American country and there is, despite the frequently shared Amerindinan ancestry, a serious hatred between the indigenous peoples (who have 75-100% indigenous blood) of Peru, Colombia etc. and the whites/mestizos/blacks (0-50% indigenous blood).
This dead Canadian reminds me of the Costa Rica South Park episode where the SJW Miss Stevens is the one the midget Amerindian cannibals want to eat. He didn't deserve to die, but his leftist praise for indigenous tribes certainly got him killed.

Hard to see how the ancestors of the folks in the jungle in 2018 were any more enlightened than the Conquistadors:

Canadian dies in ‘lynching’ in Peruvian Amazon, accused of killing an indigenous shaman
It was 2013 when Sebastian Woodroffe decided to quit his job and leave his home in Canada to study plant medicine in Peru. A relative’s battle with alcoholism had inspired him to “fix the family’s spirit” and pursue a career as an addictions counselor, he said in a YouTube video.
Woodroffe, then a 36-year-old father of a 4-year-old boy, began raising money for an apprenticeship with traditional healers in the Amazon. He felt a responsibility to “support this culture and retain some of their treasure in me and my family, and share it with those that wish to learn,” he wrote on a fundraising page. He was particularly interested in experiencing ayahuasca, a sludgelike hallucinogenic potion used by indigenous shamans in spiritual exercises.
It’s not entirely clear what happened in the years that followed, or whether the Canadian tourist found the healing he was seeking in the Peruvian Amazon. But late last week, his name and face somehow landed on a wanted poster that accused him of killing a beloved shaman and indigenous activist in a remote rain forest in northeastern Peru.
Enraged members of the indigenous community appear to have taken matters into their own hands. Peruvian authorities say a mob of locals in the Amazonian region of Ucayali killed Woodroffe before burying him in a makeshift grave. Peru’s ombudsman described the killing as a “lynching.”
A gruesome cellphone video that emerged in local news outlets shows a man — later identified by officials as Woodroffe — being dragged through the mud by a cord wrapped around his neck. He moans and pleads for mercy before lying motionless in the dirt.
