Entitled Tourists
Do you really have to ask?
Maybe I'm just cynical, but anytime I see these people apologize I think the apology is self-serving and not genuine
At least whatever "apology" their giving is something, even if some of them feel rushed, or a tad self-serving, most people in these sorts of scenarios are going to try to seem as genuinely sorry and remorseful as possible, even if it comes across as melodramatic. They'll try to show as much contrition as possible to avoid receiving a harsher punishment or heavy fine. Physical punishment or verbal abuse might seem justifiable here to most knowledgable about the contextual situation, but if viewed within the prism of social media and out-of-context, beating or hitting a foreign tourist over the heads or parts of their bodies with sticks and rocks will come across as too extreme a punishment---and very dangerous.
As System explained earlier, making these idiotic, stupid tourists pay heavy fines to leave the country for their immature behavior is a much better deterrent to remind them to think twice before acting so recklessly again. Because while local villagers or area citizens might be understandably upset by young 18-19 college students/tourists breaking clearly-defined rules or warnings on signs, and yeah, I wouldn't blame most of them for wanting to smack some of them upside the head with sticks or stones, whenever you involve those kind of heavy, physical objects, their always a chance mob violence might break out and something more tragic occurs where a dumb, _______ student/tourist gets sent put in a coma or suffers another life-threatening injury because they were punished by locals for doing something stupid.
Or, to reference a more extreme, rarer examples: We don't need more Otto Warmbeir or Amanda Knox International incidents happening which leads to the State Department, two different POTUS, diplomats furiously and anxiously trying to find amenable solutions that will make enough people happy. At least Amanda Knox got to be able to return home after several years in an Italian prison, Otto Warmbier returned home from a North Korean dungeon in a dying, persistent vegetative state.
