The smile says it all
"I thought they built it in 2003?"
Now we all know he is stupid🤮
Que se scarf his nalgas
WISE A**
Well now you know, 🤡
What a shame
You deserve to be locked up in jail
"Love makes you do stupid things" 😂😂
You can tell he knew
You can see all the old etches in the bricks
So he's stupid and ignorant,great combo!
Regardless I don't think his life should be destroyed for one dumb mistake
He's face shows he knew, he was doing something that he shouldn't. Now days, attention its more important then respect. He should not be able to visit other cultures if its not showing any respect to them.
Charge him. Stupidity isn't a defense.
probably brazilians
Human beings have gotten so stupid I bet in the 40s people didn’t do stuff like this
Why do it in first place you don’t see any other names on there. What a big head
They can etch it off yes?
If he didn’t know then why did he do it.
Ban him from all tourist spots on earth
You can tell from that stupid smug of his that this isn't his first time.
Why would they even do that to begin with smh that’s so childish
Lawyer told him to send the gov an apology letter 😭
These days people have money to travel on a three week vacation before they learn about the places they're visiting. It used to be the other way around.
He knew it was ancient it’s why he put it on there cause it would be there forever but they should just break that brick out put a new one in
What a liar!
Was it disrespectful? Yes. Jail is extreme. You guys have no compassion. It’s not that deep no matter how much you guys feel he should have known better. You guys are probably the same ppl who think that Otto kid deserved to be jailed and ended up a vegetable when he came home. You guys are also probably the same ppl who hate cancel culture. He should be explained why he was wrong and taught about the history, not jailed. Banned for a little while but not jail. We are the same Americans who say ppl shouldn’t go to jail for non violent crimes. Everyone is too busy wanting to teach ppl a lesson. And then when it’s you, you feel you deserve compassion. I’m hoping for this guy to realize what he did and move on with his life!
Colosseum and didn’t know it was ancient? What a dumb MF!
Side on side of Lack of air at birth….else whatever u cal it
He knew it was wrong. This generation is absolutely disgusting. He should have been jailed once getting back to his home country.
Five years will set an example🤔
BS excuse, fine him and get him to put in the hours to erase those names and restore as much as originally was
Not respect at all for the country you visiting …..
