CNN now .... PSU students gathering and chanting .....

[Botany]

..... We love Joe Pa!

I have no idea how many students are there or how the the student body feels over all but this is sick.


The President of PSU knew, Joe Pa knew, and the A.D. knew about "it" from as far back as 1998 and their in action let more little
boys be raped by a serial child a serial child molester. How can people cheer for what turns out to be people who protected and hid
evil?

1. ...and I just got done reading an article about how many children

Sandusky and his wife fostered. Not to mention the ones he adopted. I hope they are okay, and, if not, that they come forward.

14. HE WAS A FOSTER PARENT???????? Jesus wept.

[Remember Me]

33. The foster system is a great place to find vulnerable children

to abuse physically, emotionally and sexually. Even better than boy scouts or the Catholic church. And it happens a LOT.

[spooky3]

15. just to clarify, the "he" in your post refers to Sandusky (not Paterno, etc.).

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Sorry about that. Edited and appreciated.

:hi:

[fishwax]

22. at least one of those was adopted against the birth mother's will

The biological mother of one of his adopted sons (Matt) testified in front of the grand jury earlier this year:

http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/11/jerry_sandusky_a_penn_state_un.html

Among those who testified was the mother of Sandusky’s youngest adopted son, a boy he met through The Second Mile, took in as a foster child and later legally adopted as an adult.

Matt Sandusky’s mother, Debra Long, told The Patriot-News that she had raised concerns about the behavior of her son and Sandusky once her son went to live with the Sandusky family in 1995.

“We tried to stop it back then,” Long said. “We were dragging it to the court system all the time and we couldn’t prevent it. It upsets me, because these kids didn’t need to go through this.”

Almost as if the court system could have aided and abetted his activities. I find that a rather troubling thing to think about.

24. Joe P should do some jail time also!

Sickos all of themm

[roguevalley]

30. first you deny, then you bargain, then you get angry, then

you go into the street and chant, then you slink away in shame. they are standing with a man who enabled and kept around him a man who raped eight year old boys. Apparently he brought kids to games to have them around him for sex and that meant everyone who saw them there knew why they were there including paterno. The punk kids at PSU are shaming the school so badly, they can't know. I would die if my kid were there doing that.

[Arugula Latte]

2. I don't get it, but look at how many hundreds and hundreds of people hid the crimes of child rapists

in the Catholic Church over the decades. Absolutely revolting and reprehensible.

[spanone]

3. someone needs to explain to these dumbfucks what went on at their school

[KharmaTrain]

4. Three Words...

Just Win Baby!

It's all about the Xs and Os...the perpetrators are the victims and the victims should have kept quiet.

sickening...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. I always figured Norte dame. but Penn State? Amazing.

Watching college kids cheer and support an enabler really shows how fucked up our priorities are these days.

[bighughdiehl]

8. yeah....

worst.sycophants.ever.

[handmade34]

13. a loss of any sort of empathy

or reality...

[doublethink]

6. The Students there need to ...

read the 23 page indictment ..... every single student on campus.

[qanda]

11. Yes. It should be required reading for every parent also

It may make people aware of how to prevent their children from becoming victims.

[spooky3]

16. the university needs to require training for ALL

no number of victories or donor and ticket buyer dollars can justify criminal wrongdoing against the most vulnerable children.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Call me stupid, but as the mother of a young football player, I never

really thought of it. Today I had a discussion with my son, and felt sick that it took something like this to make me think of it.

[roguevalley]

31. someone said yesterday there are two kinds of PSU people,

those who read the indictment and those who didn't.

[bluestateguy]

7. Anybody who chooses a college based on its football program is a loser*

*Unless you are yourself a football player.

But you have a lot of college kids these days who just have to have the whole college experience: frats, sororities, booze, football, wild spring break, booze, sex, pot, and maybe an occasional class or two.

[cherokeeprogressive]

19. College in and of itself seems to have devolved into more of a party atmosphere than

a place of higher learning.

[bluestateguy]

21. It is usually the rich kids on no financial aid that do most of the partying

They won't have to face consequences for their actions in the same way a student does who is financial aided up the ass.

[cherokeeprogressive]

23. Too true.

The sad fact is that their degrees will be given the same weight...

[KharmaTrain]

26. Nice Broad Brushing...

My children went to college and I paid their way. I'm fortunate to be able to do that and they would be able to join a very competitive work world without any debt. They've worked their asses off...one with a mssters in education; teaching in a inner city school and the other on his way to a masters in hopes of working with non-profits. I never thought being debt free would have to be defended...sheesh...

[pezDispenser]

32. yeah broad brush

I went to school on financial aid, i.e. student loans. I did a fair share of partying.

[bluestateguy]

37. But you didn't let the partying get the best of you, right?

Your studies came first?

If so, this message wasn't for you.

When I am angry I don't have time to parse and qualify my statements.

[pezDispenser]

39. fair point

I knew those loans would have to be paid off, and waiting tables wasn't going to pay them off.

[Texasgal]

9. How disgusting.

I am just disgusted by his supporters.

Hey JoePa... it's called INTEGRITY. You don't have it.

[liberalmuse]

10. It's okay to be a child rapist if you win games..

or make artsy films. This is really sad. He RAPED kids. And he could've been stopped by this coach who is no hero. Another example of the 'good 'ol boys' club at work. I'm over it! My god, those poor boys. :cry:

[Texasgal]

25. "or make artsy films"

WORD sista... WORD! :thumbsup:

[msanthrope]

28. Well, if you make films and sodomize a 13 year old, it's not 'rape-rape.'

Yes. That was sarcasm....

[Dawson Leery]

12. In light of the seriousness of this situation, they should not do this.

[tishaLA]

17. watching the presser, I couldn't imagine all the support Paterno has

reporters from the student newspaper were indignant about his firing. It was shocking. And these students taking to the streets like this....wow.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. On ESPN now-Smoke canister dispersed into the air and arrests

are happening.

[rhett o rick]

29. Having a winning football program is like nirvana. nm

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. Read this, if you really want to try to look at weird things

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2275088

Your answer is partially in that post, I promise...

[Lint Head]

35. Wonder if it's college republicans. You know them repubs love that sexual perversion.

They applauded when Cain basically told the CNBC lady he was above questions about harassing women and the women should just shut up about it because there are more important things than sexual assault of women.

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. I think it's young, stupid football fans of both stripes. They're kids,

they're stupid, they should be ashamed and I hope that someday they will be. :(

[MedleyMisty]

38. You know...

On a night when other students are being beaten by the police for protesting tuition hikes and the general state of economic injustice, do you really want to be known as the college students who protested in support of a child rapist?
