[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Relieved to hear. I'm from Cincy and I have lit a candle for this kid every day for the last year. I blame UVA for taking the kids to a communist country. Of course, boys will always do something stupid, and they should have known that. Hope kid goes to school in OH and not hick VA[/quote]

PP, I am also from Cincy and lived 10 years in DC.  Your comment is ignorant to the Nth degree and only serves to reinforce the whole "flyover country" nonsense.  You are in fact aware that UVA is ranked #24 among national universities, about 110 spots ahead of our hometown school, right?  And I love UC, but come on.  Charlottesville is a beautiful college town and UVA is a great school.  Further, there is zero evidence that UVA arranged this tour or had anything to do with Otto Warmbier's travel there.  Like you, I am disgusted by what happened, but spouting ignorance on the internet isn't going to fix this.  Preventing Americans from traveling to NK will.  If you want to do something useful, why not write some of our useless representatives and urge them to pressure the state department into issuing a tourist travel ban to NK so that this doesn't happen again?[/quote]
