[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it isnt that simple.  [b]When you think someone you love and know is getting railroaded,[/b] you want to defend them and your school.  School spirit is important.  I was overseas when the Virginia Tech shootings took place, but I made a point of proudly wearing a VT hat for a few days just to show my little support.  Not the same as rioting (which is really just a few hundred drunk fools out of a campus of 50,000), but same general idea.[/quote]

Really?  You want to compare the two?  Really?  Not even in a million years do the two events come close to being comparable.  Showing support for Tech is nothing like showing support for Paterno.

And that is what those students are doing.  They are showing support for Paterno, not for Penn State and not for the victims.[/quote]

How is Paterno getting railroaded? This is a team sport, and he achieved his successes on the shoulders of everyone on the team. He and others had moral obligation to report him to the police and stop him from doing this to others. [/quote]

they think he is getting railroaded.  Maybe he did nothing wrong?  we really don't know all the facts.  that is their issue.  If he didn't know about the 98 incident and didnt fully hear or understand that 02 incident, then perhaps they are right.  Those are big assumptions though.  Sandusky was not working for Paterno in 09, and the grand jury found his testimony to be completely credible (but not so for the other two).[/quote]
