In a small college town - I can imagine that feels like the whole town hates you and could be out to get you if they find out your identity. Seriously. You'd have to walk by these people on a daily basis.

wtf with the "white men" stuff???? now this is a racial issue????

Heeelllooo...these were boys in a at-risk youth group. Read: black boys.

I mean seriously, its like they are being violated all over again. 2000+ people rioting against those poor boys. So very sad.

Not rioting against the boys - but rioting because they are idiot college students.

I had a friend (a mother of a 4 year old boy) who posted on facebook today "proud to be a PSU alumni"

I said "Good for you! Proud to be a mother against anal assult of young boys"

You really put this on your friend's page? I'd defriend you in a heartbeat.

Another mother against sexual abuse, but also someone that treats friends with respect.

it isnt that simple. When you think someone you love and know is getting railroaded, 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.

I am a Penn State grad and there are plenty of us out there that are just as shocked, horrified and disgusted as non Penn state alumni. Words can't express the emotions I am feeling right now. To think that I used to go the games and cheer this man on. He was supposed to be a role model and I wish I knew what he was thinking when he chose to keep quiet. I threw out my Penn State football gear - looking at that stuff makes me cry for the victims.

On a secondary note, I wish I could get a refund of my tuition. I am about to start looking for a new job and am embarrassed to list Penn State as my university. I honestly think this is going to impact the future hiring of Penn State grads.

We are all not like those thoughtless kids you see rioting on the news.

And because most of them don't have children.

Once you become a parent, you really start putting things into perspective. Just imagining something like this happening to YOUR child makes you want to strange everyone involved in this tragedy with your bare hands.

PP, I can't imagine a mother of a 4-year-old boy being 'proud' of PSU in the light of what had happened.

I'm sure not every single PSU student supports Paterno. Just stupid and immature football fans.

Those idiots don't seem to realize Youtube is forever and someday these antics may come to haunt them.

The students at Penn State are very naive and obviously oblivious to how the country is receiving their school and their behavior. I know if I was a hiring manager I would have to truly think long and hard if I would want to hire one of these students. Their ethics and morals are greatly different from what the majority of us consider to be the norm. The school has some serious work ahead of it to repair the damage to their reputation. It's going to take years to recover.

Couldn't agree with you more OP.

What was JoePa's motto, "Victory with honor." What a joke. Looks like the only thing people cares at Penn State is football. No honor, no ethics, no sense.

So I know this horse is being beaten to death, but I just have to get this out.

I am so DISGUSTED with the Penn State students. Rioting to protest the firing of officials who at best could care less about the safety of young children and at worst actively covered it up? I'm sorry, but every single one of them needs to be expelled too!
