.....It looks like the mayor agrees with you....

SANTIAGO, Chile | The mayor of Easter Island said Thursday he wished the tourist accused of chipping an earlobe off an ancient Maoi statue could have his ear clipped off as “justice.”

Finnish tourist Marko Kulju, 26, issued a public apology through a Chilean newspaper on Thursday, saying he regretted the incident that has caused an uproar on the South Pacific island, a Chilean territory.

It was not clear whether Mayor Pedro Edmunds Paoa had read the published apology.

“If an ear is cut off, then an ear gets cut,” Edmunds Paoa told Cooperative radio. “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth: That would be my form of justice.”
