That’s a slap on the wrist if they only impose the fine. That should be a five year jail sentence at least.
You cannot act like a dick like this in other countries. Defacing a religious site no less.

Why people want to carve names on stuff... It's the same people who write their names on bathroom doors
Good, americans act like this and they get the consequences they deserve
If anyone acts like this they get the consequences.
Like how dumb do you have to be?
... Checks timeline. Oh thats the norm...
Put that fuckin Boomer in prison for 3 years.
Yeah, that sounds like an American.
No offense, but Germans are no match for the reputation our tourists have...
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Americans being dumb cunts. What a surprise.
Like our election didn't give it away?
The rest of the world has known this for years.
So have we.
I could have guessed he was over 60 because he wasn't live streaming the whole thing. Just an old school asshole, not an influencer.
All that really proves is that people don't need YouTube to do things for attention.
Prison would be most appropriate.
The fine sure seems low for defacing an important religious shrine.
Not sure that shrine in particular but I do think torii gates in some shrines are replaced somewhat often. At Inari they had business names behind them which I assume are the 'sponsors' of that torii, probably they pay to have the gate fixed and I imagine that brings luck to that business. In short, he might have been lucky to deface the least critical part of the shrine.
The toriis at meiji jingu are gigantic. It would unfortunately cost millions to replace one.
Then the sentence makes no sense to me
Kinda like Americans donating to have a bench named after them in a park.
That's good at least. I'd hate to think this was a century old (or whatever) torii he defaced.
oh, Im just guessing here though (from what I saw when visiting), hopefully that is the case
I completely agree
America: making Japan worse since 1853 (with a brief pause in the mid-20th century while they did it to themselves).
We're doing it to ourselves again
Would Japan have been better had the shogunate continued?
I'll let you know when my window into parallel universes has been completed, but I promised someone else to look into whether or not the Aztecs would have been worse for Mexico if the Spanish hadn't invaded first.
Damn, I was asking myself this very question about the Aztecs about a week ago. Also how would the indigenous people in america progress if the colonizers didn't discover America. I believe they are nomads?
One of the reasons the Spanish were able to contact the Aztecs is that their neighbors were really tired of being conquered and forced to pay tribute. So I'm guessing the Aztec empire in Mesoamerica would have gotten and the already massive Inca empire would have become far more massive. Not sure about any of the cultures other than those.
