A pair of American tourists were fined after one of them was caught on video hurling an electric scooter down Rome’s Spanish Steps — causing more than $26,000 worth of damage to the world-famous site. The incident took place last Friday morning and was captured by a bystander.
In the video, an unnamed 29-year-old man is seen wheeling a rental scooter down the 18th century UNESCO World Heritage Site, where visitors were banned from sitting in 2018.
The man’s 28-year-old female companion walking behind him with her own e-scooter then shoves it down the iconic flight of stairs, where it lands with a loud thud, drawing peals of laughter from an onlooker off-camera.
According to the Italian-language newspaper La Repubblica, the woman hurled the scooter two more twice after that “for sheer amusement,” causing some of the marble steps to crack.
So, lemme see if I have this right. Spend a ton of money to visit a place, a place renowned for its beauty, and then you see how big of a Dump you can take on it? Too bad the people didn't heave those assholes down the steps.
ReplyDeleteSome passports need to be revoked.
ReplyDeletePassports? They both need to spend a couple of decades rotting in a nasty Italian prison. Someplace like Malasia or Singapore and they'd get the death penalty.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats abroad, thinking they are in the US and can do whatever the F they want because they control the 'justice' system.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I've been to the USA, the people I've met have been kind and considerate. Whenever I chance upon American tourists abroad, they're the typical American tourist - loud mouth, uncouth and feeling entitled. Why can't the ones that stay Stateside due the touring?
