Penn State Students Rioting!

[BabcockIC]

Unfortunately the students don't have the pull all of the adults do and the students can't understand what it is like to be a parent. I can't think anything but fire everybody.

 

[silvanthalas]

Release the hounds.

I say release The Kraken instead. After all, I've got a bottle of the stuff and I'm getting thirsty.

he was a good man whose lapse in judgment brought him down

A good man doesn't have a lapse in judgment 13 years ago (and, more likely, Sandusky's habits were known earlier than that)... then continues to let that judgment lapse again and again to protect a serial child rapist.

Any and all respect I ever had for that place is now utterly gone. Those students are effing pathetic. Are they going to go riot when Sandusky is convicted too? Do they really care this little that all these little boys had their innocence robbed from them? Do they really not care that their beloved coach covered for, and harbored this molesting POS? Shame on you PSU. You are a disgrace to our conference, your state, and this country.

So you know with 100% certainty that Joe Pa knowingly covered for Sandusky. You are involved in the investigation, you have questioned Joe Pa and you have iron clad proof, right? Can I see it?

IF, big IF he knowingly did cover, then absolutely I'm on your side. If not, then he is being villainized wrongly. Unfortunately most people make their own judgements without knowing the facts, including Jon Miller.

Exactly, it's not a "lapse" if it lasts for 13 years. It's a flaw.

This "riot" is weak, they need to step their **** up.

1. The dude flat out admitted he could/should have done more.

2. When McQueary came to him with this info it was not the first time Joe had heard of what Sandusky was doing. He knew of at least one prior incident.

3. Joe did not bother to follow up on any of this for a decade now. Sandusky was working out at the U LAST WEEK.

I rest my case. Thanks for your time.

They aren't rioting. They are gathering, taking photos of police and talking on cell phones. Hardly a riot. They're all insenstive aholes though.

 

[EddyP]

Hopefully they burn down the shower complex. FU rioters. FU PSU.

So in other words you have no proof at all. In HINDSIGHT he says he wishes he would have done more. That's what anyone would have said in that situation. He told his superior who told the person in charge of the University Police Department. So it's not like he did nothing. Nothing you are saying can prove that Joe Pa had full knowledge of this situation and knowingly covered up for Sandusky. Again if it comes out that he did, then I am right on your side. I just prefer to know the facts. You are not presenting any facts that proves his knowledge and/or involvement in this.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

According to ESPN they just flipped a media vehicle, there we go, this is more like it.

Looks more like an occupation than a riot....only with lots more people

I am sure you can find the whole thing somewhere, but there is a bit of it. There is plenty of proof that JoePa knew what was going on, and he obviously knew his buddy was not in prison. He knew the police had not been contacted being nobody ever came to question him. The grand jury was convinced Joe knew, and so am I.

 

[BabcockIC]

Fact 1 He was fired for an ethics violation. Being an educator you are required to report crimes to more people than your boss.

Fact 2 Sandusky's biography is titled Touched.

Fire Everybody.

So they about to riot at penn state?? Bet if I blocked another punt that would send their *** home lol...again.

@lukezimLuke Zimmermann
If only we could get Matt McGloin and/or Rob Bolden leading this offensive, the entire drive would be over in minutes.

Two of the more amusing tweets of the night right there...

Sounds like it is starting to get a little more wild.

WTF are you talking about? JoePa had full knowledge of the situation the moment McQueary told him about it. This post makes absolutely no sense. Stupid. You are a complete moron.

Here is a webcam if you want to see what's going on live. It doesn't look TOO out of control at this point.

[HawkeyeMike23]

Stu Scott making unfounded claims that some of these students have been drinking. More terrible journalism from ESPN.

 

[gohawkz]

Paterno could have avoided this had he just did the right thing and wondered why the **** this sicko was still allowed on campus years after the initial reported incident.

+1000

That could be said with 100% confidence about any group of college kids that large at this time of night. Where is the issue?
