OH THANK FUCKING GOD! He wasn't American
Truly shocked he wasn't either American or Australian, but I guess Irish makes sense too.
An Irish mad lad
Or Chinese.
I was guessing American or English.
The tourist looks like they’re a teenager, to me, like maybe 16 or so? Is it their parent holding the camera or what?
He was arrested, and the company the statue belongs to is calling for him to pay the repair costs, not their parents, so maybe early 20s?
I’m getting old! I watch that video and think, “who let that kid play around on that statue?” and apparently he’s old enough to be criminally responsible haha.
Legally he's old enough at 16 to be responsible, so they can't go after the parents
I wonder how many pieces it broke into. When it hits, it sounds like it shattered.
Chop off his hand as punishment. It's the only way.
The way we were, the other people would have grabbed him before he got halfway up and slapped him.
But people aren't like that anymore. They're all passive observers now, not * really* there.
Nothing some duct tape can't fix
I think the artist who painted monkey Jesus is free if they want to book her
Let's hope the guy has insurance.... a good one.
I'm not aware of insurance that covered illegal acts.
Wait you guys don't have murder insurance??
Although I'm only vaguely aware of the German laws, I don't think other EU nations' laws differ significantly.
Here's the corresponding law:
The insurer shall not be obligated to effect payment if the policyholder has intentionally and unlawfully caused the loss suffered by the third party.
Since this was clearly negligence, I think they would be fine. After all, they didn't intend to damage the statue. Gross negligence is still negligence.
Let's hope he doesn't and they sue him for everything he's worth for the next 30 years.
