That stunt was the absolute pinnacle of ignorance of other cultures. You never, ever, put your hands on the military protection of monarchy or embassy in ANY country. To be in the Queens Guard is of the highest honor in England for the military there. He should have been arrested, interrogated, and his embassy contacted for his stupid behavior. Just imagine the outcry of the guard had accidentally shot the fool. He would've been portrayed as a happy-go-lucky tourist who just made a mistake. Wound not have accepted any responsibility for his own actions. I won't go near a Philippine Marine other than a wave and a "Hi, maayong aga" if he or she was on duty with their weapon. Be like an asian in ANY asian culture. As if. To coin a phrase; "Enuf said".
