Dude actually smiled like he was complimented or something. What a POS.

“Please don’t be American, PLEASE don’t be American..”

“A Tourist from England defaced cultural treasure while abroad . . .”

thank gawd… that definitely checks out.”

[Lazorvictory]

I know not all tourists do this, but this is literally one of the many reasons why tourists are hated in a lot of countries

[johnskinner]

People who don't respect the past are the worst kind of people.

[PodBite.]

he literally carved both their names, it can’t be that hard to find them

[Torjax]

They caught him. We was fined MASSIVELY. He wrote a letter to the Mayor alologizing and claiming "He didnt know the age of the Colloseum" The mayor didnt give af about the letter lol

[ari]

If anyone cares:
He made some halfass apology, got a 5k fine and like 2 weeks in jail

[PlanetKai-kw]

Instead of filming him asking if he’s serious, then walking away calling him an asshole under your breath, tell him what he’s doing wrong. That’s what a real man would do

[sagehansen]

He was kind enough to give us his name

If you ever wanted to get away with punching someone in the face, this would've been a good opportunity.

Everyone in the world should now feel free to key his car for the rest of his life.

This why you have to stand behind ropes at all the cool historical sites these days. My mom told me about when she went to Egypt and visited the pyramids back in the day how she was able to actually climb on the pyramids. Some people lack such basic manners it really stuns me.

[imakeitwhynot]

Dude was short of writing his phone number, e-mail address, and his lawyers contact info.

[jonl]

This was filmed by an American tourist, Ryan Lutz, this man has been identified as Ivan Dimitrov, a Bulgarian fitness coach living in the UK.

[gB-gmvy]

Dude has the whole country of Italy after him

[Rykiz_Vidz]

I know a girl i grew up with in high school. Haven't spoken to her in years, but I saw she visited the Gret Wall of China and she took a picture if her name she had carved into it.

[sillez]

You know when your parents say “don’t touch anything” yeah this is what happens when your parents don’t say that

[morganconklin]

Damn dude got a whole country looking for him

[daviebhoy]

Tourists defacing stuff like this should face jail time, disgraceful

[Sakura-da]

It’s so sad how many of you think he shouldn’t have been punished for what he did. Which is not respecting Italy, where he was a guest! That is literally part of their historical heritage and I feel sorry for all of you poor souls for not being intelligent enough to know where the problem lies.A grown up, behaving like this just shows that he’s never been disciplined in his life and his parents did not parent him properly ever. And whoever doesn’t find a problem in what he did will most definitely raise your kids to be crappy ppl like him instead of smart, decent, respectful and unentitled human beings. Nobody knows the value of anything anymore nowadays…
