    He’s 27 and claims he didn’t know how old they Colosseum is?! Bullshit. He’s only apologizing because he got caught.

        He’s English. We’re lucky he didn’t steal it and stick it in the British Museum.

          I sometimes wish there could be a button for “I chuckled at that!”

              iirc upvoting is supposed to be for good content that fits the magazine and promotes discussion, regardless if you agreed with it or didn’t like it. ofc no one ever uses it like that ever, lol

                That’s how it was on Reddit, and idk about lemmy, but given you’re a kbin user too: the kbin upvote is actually a like button. It’s called “favorite”. You use boost for your use case.

            I have no idea how this happened, but I originally read that as Stuff (verb; as in cramming something into something else) the British Stole (as in a priest’s scarf/vestment). So I essentially read it as “cram something into the British scarf”.

            Brains are weird.

      Not just his age: he was inside it, so he had waited in line, paid for it, and was seeing the ruined stone structure up close. No way could he not know it was really, really old.

      Agreed. What he actually didn’t know was that there was a 15k euro fine and a five-year prison sentence.

        Well, now a lot more people are aware of the serious consequences of defacing iconic cultural heritage, thanks to that idiot. So there’s a silver lining at least.

        Honestly, I think he should just get the fine and maybe some community service. It’s not like he did some terrible evil thing, he simply caused a tiny amount of damage to huge ancient structure.

        Why should he lose 5 years of his life over something simple like this? Just give him a big fine that makes him regret it, and he won’t do it again.

          I would give him 2 year probation/suspended sentence if it is his first crime. Does not need to ruin his life but make the warning hella clear.

          If he vandalizes things regullarly, then probably some actual prison time.

      I have no idea how he didn’t catch a complete beat down. I wouldn’t be able to restrain myself if I saw this shit in person.

      Some people, as unfortunate as it is, can be honest and sincere by saying that they didn’t know how the colosseum is.
