Vandals? Is that usual vocabulary in anglophone media in such cases?

However, I like it. Vandals! ....though not as good as the more generic 'Barbarians'.

Yes, that Germanic tribe's habit of needlessly destroying stuff in lands they invaded resulted in the English word vandal meaning someone who vandalizes property.
