CARROLL, Ohio (Map, News) - Hundreds of friends, relatives and local residents streamed into a funeral service Saturday for a central Ohio Marine killed last week when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Iraq.
Twenty-one-year-old Lance Cpl. James Kimple was remembered at the service at Bloom-Carroll Middle School, about 20 miles southeast of Columbus.
Rows of about 75 motorcycles belonging to two motorcycle clubs surrounded the school gym before the service, and later escorted the funeral procession to a nearby cemetery, where Kimple was buried.
Four Marines were killed May 2 in al Anbar Province. The Pentagon says Kimple was among them.
Kimple, a married father of three children, was on his second tour in Iraq.

Two people dead because of a drunken idiot - and the idiot basically gets away with it - and the state allowed it - he should not have been driving in the first place - dose ILLEGAL set of any alarms? He does his 8 (should be tripled) years, gets deported, then sneaks back across the border. Where is the sense in all this?

This illegal alien killed two lovely people while he was driving drunk and only eight years is the top of the sentencing guidelines. Therefore, instead of going through the high cost of a trial, for which the taxpayers have to pay, let's just ship him back to whatever third world country he's from--I think in this case it's Mexico--and tell him if he ever dares to return to this country, he will be shot on sight. Something has to be done about these cockroaches that just keep crawing across our borders. We must also increase these ridiculous sentencing guidelines which are currently much too lenient and low.
