#3“Demanded to see the Pope”. Well, that’s a strong sense of self importance. Being able to talk to CEO’s of very large organizations (or heads of state) at the drop of a hat.

Followed with a childish tantrum by throwing one sculpture to the floor. Real nice.
Its actions like this that result in the rest of us only being able to view artifacts like these from afar, behind plexiglass. What a shame.

#6Although this is terrible, for those of you who aren't actually going to read the article:
> "The 2 busts have been damaged but not particularly badly. One lost part of a nose and an ear, the head of the other came off the pedestal."
So fortunately the busts were not obliterated into a bunch of pieces like the image I had in my head when I read the word "smashed".

#8What are repercussions for this act? I.e. what will the tourist be charged with? Simple vandalism seems way too lenient.
