I think it was more of, "hey, who the hell is suddenly robbing us?!"
They didn't have the internet and daily news to tip everyone off. There'd just suddenly be stranded people near by, and if they decided to pillage before asking... I could EASILY see being hostile as a reasonable response. Not necessarily the KoS law, unless they really did just resort to pillaging and theft often.
Language barrier makes it harder to ask for help
Yea, I don't envy their situation for sure. Just that it didn't necessarily have to start from malice. As you point out, it may not have even been malice from the thieves, maybe even if they were literally stealing.
Coming from a punitive place will always miss intention.
No no I was agreeing with you. They try to negotiate, all the Icelander see is 30 strangers in their property...end badly
Yea, we need a historian to tell us how it went down so we can know who to hate! ... jk jk... lol the obvious lesson is do not rush to judgement, especially on assumption. Heck, it might've even been a very select few genuine crooks that got the rest punished by team sports attitude that sadly persists to this day.
