Please, for your mental health, don't try to absorb too many deep thoughts in one sitting. You're already laboring under the anchor of that Penn State education of yours. No, the proper response for Penn State students wouldn't be holding a lynching for that 84 year old turd. His bony neck would probably slip out of the noose, anyway.

I don't know what you and your brethren have been breathing for so long in Happy Valley, PA that makes the collective population there miss what the rest of the nation sees so clearly. It is so obvious this place has been ground zero for heinous assaults on children for decades done with the tacit consent of the top administrators of the university and the head football coach. That fact is contained in the grand jury report which will be, no doubt, the first of many ugly reports to come out about these crimes. The people responsible for this consent will face their day in court eventually. Obviously, Paterno hired a crackerjack defense attorney to defend more than his football legacy. When McCreary begins to save his bacon, he will make it quite clear to investigators that he told Paterno exactly what he saw Sandusky doing in the shower to that kid. And at that point Paterno will have no cover for his failure to alert the law enforcement authorities when that assault happened. It will more readily apparent what a scumbag he is when it is confirmed that he chose to evade the tarnish to his hallowed football program rather than do the right thing and erase that monster.

But aside from the actions of Sandusky, Paterno, McCreary, et al., I am more astounded by the rather unified reaction, GENERALLY SPEAKING, of the Penn State community, as a whole. First of all, for those brain-dead students and fans of PSU, this matter doesnt have a damn thing to do with football. This is about hideous crimes committed against children. END OF STORY! Each and every participant in these crimes should pay the price for their crimes. It doesn't make a damn bit of difference if Paterno was the winningest coach in NCAA history and a person canonized throughout Pennsylvania. He kept these crimes hidden. He is criminally responsible!

Second, the majority of students and supporters interviewed at Penn State over the past several days have responded with lock-step uniformity "that JoePa was given a raw deal." Again, are you out of your f*cking minds? If not for the actions of a few logical-thinking administrators who encouraged the remembrance of the victims of these crimes, this past weekend would have been an even bigger pity party for Paterno than it already was. Who gives a sh*t that he was fired? He deserved it. He was lucky he wasn't escorted in cuffs from his home.

Third, what Pennsylvania legal genius there thought it was OK to allow that freak Sandusky to be out on bail. Why hasn't it been revoked? There are more reports that the numbers of victims is going up. Shouldn't someone there even consider the possibility that this could happen again before his legal proceedings begin?

When you belittle folks and come off as some all-knowing vessel of virtue, you do little to advance your argument. You make some good points but they are drowned out by the sound and fury of your needless personal attacks. Rather than call folks names, why not make your points in an intelligent fashion?
