Thousands lined up the funeral service for Otto Warmbier on Thursday at Wyoming High School in Wyoming, Ohio, but had to be turned away because the auditorium was at its capacity. Tragically, the 22-year-old American student was only returned from N.Korea when it was revealed he was in a coma, and he died only 6 days after being brought home

Mourners lined the route as pallbearers carried Warmbier’s casket out of the school and started the procession to Oak Hill Cemetery.

Will this spell the end of American tourism in North Korea?Although the State Department already warns against North Korean travel, last month Republican and Democratic U.S. congressmen introduced a bill that would ban American tourists from traveling to North Korea as tourists and require special permission for other visits, citing at least 17 Americans detained by the regime over the last decade.

“With increased tensions in North Korea, the danger that Americans will be detained for political reasons is greater than ever,” Democrat Adam Schiff and Republican Joe Wilson said in a statement.

Sadly, the U.S. has no recourse against the brutal N.Korean regime.
