Dumbass American tourists deface Rome Colosseum, take selfies

Tourists are once again getting into trouble in Italy, with two American women caught carving their names into Rome’s Colosseum.
The Californians, aged 21 and 25, snuck away from their tour group on Saturday and began scratching their initials into the amphitheatre with a coin. They managed a “J” and an “N” around 8cm high, before taking a selfie with their handiwork.
Police were quick to catch the two Americans and report them for damaging the ancient site. The women may now go in front of a judge and face a penalty.
Defacing the walls is strictly forbidden, as pointed out on signs in both English and Italian. But some visitors think little of breaking the rules as they view the crumbling monument differently from other top sites such as the Vatican, said a spokesman for the Special Superintendency for the Archaeological Heritage of Rome.

I need pics before I decide the proper punishment.

These women will take the punishment Amanda Knox should have received.

I saw the Texas A&M logo scratched into a column at the coliseum.

It takes a special breed of trash to deface something so historic.
I hope the judge throws the book at them.

Here's a 2,000 year old piece of history and the first thing these dumb asses think to do with it is deface it.

Reminds me of the chick from NY who defaced a bunch of areas in major National Parks out west for the sake of "art".
Like they're some nature Banksy.

To be fair, people have been doing that to it for centuries.
Not that I agree with them doing it.
I'm just saying its not like this is some new thing.
