They should be taken to the centre of the Colosseum and flogged, then made to pay and sit in jail.

I read that they said, "We didn't think it would be that big of a deal." Really? How egotistical to think your initials belong with the ancient grafitti.

Amazing no big deal, if they had done that to the Alamo they would find out real quick what a big deal it would be. That's what I equate what they did. To me the Colosseum is scared ground. don't mess with the Alamo or the Colosseum.

........and they vote. They are no better than the imbeciles who are destroying historic buildings and artifacts in the middle east. If the Italians don't fine them the $20,000 each, I'd be very disappointed. This is why we are referred to as the "ugly Americans".

Wow- a little harsh there, don't you think? They didn't destroy anything, just etched 2 little letters. A far cry from wiping out religious artifacts completely... A stupid crime, yes. As bad as ISIS? I think not... But you do make your point strongly.

They are adults and should have had the respect for the antiquities of another country to not deface them. What were they there for if not to see and appreciate what was there? By not dealing with them harshly, others would think it would be OK to carve their initials, spray paint or whatever took their fancy, and then what would be left of the historical places in the world?

American tourists... having respect for antiquities of another country? What a grand idea. Ugly Americans, indeed.
