We’re Totally Missing A Huge Group Of People To Shame Over The Penn State Scandal
by evanmcmurry
There’s so much nastiness gushing from the Penn State scandal—so much cover-up, so much money, so much abuse of power and trust, etc.—that it will be years before we’ve exhausted the amount of shame that can go around.
In that spirit, I’d like to recommend these jackasses be next in the line.
I’m not defending the students who idiotically rioted in the immediate wake of JoePa’s firing. But it is more understandable in the context of the shock of somebody whom they had been bred to see as infallible and godlike suddenly being exposed, and the mob mentality of 20-year-olds.
However, these people are inexcusable: http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/12/at-paterno-statue-support-and-shock/
