    Does anyone honestly believe that? And even if he really didn’t know, why on earth would that justify scratching stuff into someone elses wall?

      Even if anyone believes it, not knowing something doesn’t protect from punishment.

    My first thought: thank God it wasn’t an American tourist this time.

      I would agree to let him have taxpayer-funded history classes while he’s doing time

    This sounds like he made up the stupidest justification after getting himself caught red handed.

      It’s absolutely legitimate, because vandalism is it only if the building is older than 500 years! /s
