Papuan tribal warriors armed with bows and arrows and improvised shields move into position as clashes erupted anew between two tribes in Kwamki Lama village in Mimikaa, a district located in Indonesia's restive Papua province, on June 18, 2012.
Agence France Presse reports — Two tribesmen were killed, one critically injured and several policemen injured while three police vehicles were torched as tribal clashes erupted in Indonesia's restive Papua province on Monday.
Police and military troops were overwhelmed by the fighting, which was sparked by the death of a tribesman in a road accident in early June.

arrow control should be implemented, I mean really, somebodys eye could get put out. stick and stones may break my bones but arrows really hurt
BAN ARROWS!!!!!
or at least put rubber suction cups on the ends of them!!
When I first saw those pictures, I thought they were taken outside voting places in Philladelphia.
Primal instinct at its finest...It is genetic, top of the food chain humans must be their own predator.
Bombs, firearms, swords, arrows, clubs, sticks, stones, or bare hands.... makes no never mind we will kill each other.
So When will the UN and NATO step in??
Why is this front page News? We are in the USA not Africa.
Indonesia isn't in Africa either.
I sense a reality show in the making.
Another example why colonial governments should still be in place. These poor SOBs aren't even advanced enough for basic conflict. Remember folks, when you get your first firestick the pointy end of the bullet faces away from you.
One of these Africans in the picture is Obama's son
Where is tarzan when we need him?
Did I see Obama in there ?
Don't be fooled this is actually Detroit
Nope they have guns in Detroit.
Spear-chucking natives in Nike shoes and Hilfiger shirts. Hilarious!
This is what will happen if we ban guns. People will still kill each other, just with older weapons. Meanwhile, the 'man' has the good stuff to keep the people down. An extreme advantage for the government obviously.
I sense a new reality show in the making.
Outlaw guns and they use a bow and arrows. Outlaw bows and arrows and they will use knives. Outlaw knives and they will use clubs, on and on it goes. Can't stop people from killing each other. Might as well let them do it. You could call it population control.
Looks like Detroit or Chicago. Maybe Obama could go over & community organize.
Just think of what goes on in the white house
am I suppose to believe the last photo? arrow in the upper left chest and no blood? high tech arrows; with multi fibrinous replication and sealing characteristics? outlawed or not, I prefer a glock.
Is it just me or is 70% of the news about black violence?
And the other 30% Muslim.
Has Mittens demanded that the US intervene yet? Or has he just called this a failure of this President to let the violence by Indonesian Tribesmen continue.
I believe Obama is sending in the drones as we speak that way nobody thinks we are intervening and he can blame it on Bush
Amazing, I cut myself shaving and there is blood everywhere. This poor guy has an arrow in him and not a drop?
The arrow appears to have a white rag wrapped around it. Some don't bleed much until you move the arrow. That is why you don't pull one out unless you have professional help. The arrow has the blood vessels constricted.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA youve got to be kidding bows and arrows??!!
As usual the comments are MUCH more entertaining than the actual article. LMAO
They will all be moving to Chicago and trading their bow's and arrows for gun's and bullets
