Entitled idiot? drugs? insanity?

Shameful.

Who wants to see Pope Frankie anyway. The last Pope I would have wanted to see was JP II, and I’m not Catholic.

There should be an option to meet with a Pope impersonator. What the heck, the tourist probably just wants a photo with the “Pope.”

Egytian-American, sudden jihad syndrome

I think it’s safe to come to the reasonable conclusion that it wasn’t some feral smashing up a McDonald’s over pickles on their burger, or cold fries this time.

One of these days, people in other countries are going to learn that most current day “americans” are flaming ***holes. They even destroyed American monuments, statues and relics. Spoiled little snot-nosed, retards. I recommend other countries not let “american” bass turds anywhere near anything of value. Physical or historical.

“My fear is that with behavior like this, barriers could be put in place.”

Exactly so.

An interesting point about European museums (and palaces, etc) is how close you can get to the art. At the Prado you can be inches away from a Velasquez.

Someone's begging for a good halberding from the Swiss guard.

An angry American... who didn’t manage their expectations very well, went on a smarmy entitling vatican rampage...

Clark Griswold?😏

Vatican? Is that the walled compound occupied by a person who said criminals build walls? When Trump was building the wall the vatican occupant said something to that effect.

I read elsewhere he was an Egyptian, who was carrying an American passport.

Sudden jihadi syndrome?

Coincidentally or oddly,, a YouTube channel ‘Told in Stone’ posted this yesterday.

Pope Rage

[Semper Vigilantis]

Times have changed, as have people. When I visited The Vatican in ‘68 there was no way anyone would think of touching, let alone destroying, anything.

[EEGator]

I don’t know why Europeans speak ill of our tourists...

[Rummyfan]

I hope the Vatican Guard - Swiss Guard sorry -or the Carabinieri beat the hell out of him.

From the article: “ In July, a Canadian tourist carved her name into the Colosseum, while American tourists were caught throwing scooters down the Spanish Steps, breaking off pieces of the landmark.”
