John Gibson Paton, a Presbyterian missionary to Vanuatu, complains of mistreatment of the local people by foreign exporters of natural resources from the island. He says the locals were robbed, silenced with the musket. The murderers were comfortable enough to boast (apparently to Paton) of how they had dispatched the people.

Are you making anyone comfortable enough to think you’d approve of really bad actions?

"By them (Sandalwood Traders] the poor, defenceless Natives are oppressed and robbed on every hand; and if they offer the slightest resistance, they are ruthlessly silenced by the musket or revolver. Few months here pass without some of them being so shot, and, instead of their murderers feeling ashamed, they boast of how they despatch them."
