Rainboe is correct, it happens pretty much anywhere in Western society. What is different is the local perception and reporting of the events. The mainstream British press is outraged when one of its citizens does something bad, whereas other countries may have different tolerance levels. I remember in the days when football hooligans were more prevalent, it was pointed out that after an Italian match, the fans ran down a street breaking a few windows and doing other unpleasant things and it wasn't really mentioned in the Italian press because it was normal 'high spirits'. Had it happened in the UK, the media would have been all over it for disgraceful behaviour.

Yes, charge them for the full cost of the diversion and ban them from flying for several years.
