Going by the comments on Fark, he's Italian.

Going by the comments from everyone that's sane:  He's a fucking coward.

The captain and most of the crew abandoned ship, leaving the passengers to fend for themselves and try and get to the lifeboats.  Only a few of them actually stayed behind to do their duty.  The cruise company is basically bitching at the passengers with "how dare you complain that we left you to die!"

That is not even the worst part
They were showboating near some rocks and cut the ship

Damn that's fucked up. I thought naval tradition was that the captain sank with the ship? That is that the captain and crew stay aboard in order to help others out.

To be fair, the accusation of showboating is a little unfair.  It's considered traditional for Italian cruiseships to do that.  It's called the inchino, or "taking a bow."  So, while that was stupid, it's unfair to blame Schettino specifically for that.  Hopefully they'll stop doing that shit now.

His subsequent actions are, of course, base cowardice.  He deserves to go to prison.

I know that it's customary
Still it seems strange you would do it near that particular coast

That's assuming you're Lawful Good. This shining example of humanity is clearly Chaotic Neutral on a good day.
