Just heard a press conference on the radio. Joe Paterno got the boot along with the president of Penn State.
What took so long? They should be tried as accessories.

What has the world come too? Unreal Joe Paterno goes down like this.
We have reached a new low.

If you knew someone had raped a kid, you'd call the cops. I know you would. Any reasonable person would.
Why didn't Paterno?
What the hell's wrong with him?
He ought to be locked up.
In California, there's a law that says an authority-type figure ( teacher, preacher, cop, etc. ) can be locked up if he knows of a kid being abused, and doesn't immediately report it to the police.

"We have reached a new low"
who is the 'we' ?
Do you refer to the public that called for his firing after Paterno's friend molested boys while Paterno did next to nothing ?
Paterno's unwillingness to do more to stop Sandusky will forever taint anything he did as a head coach in my mind .

These rioters need to go home. The fact that they care more about a big upcoming football game than the victims is disgusting

The President of Penn State was also fired by the Board of Trustees, but in our culture that will be a non-event.

It's equivalent to the catholic church sex scandals in the US.
A new low for America.
This is just starting.
Anybody who knew about this and didnt take action or continued to let it occur needs to go to jail.
And close the program down forever as a reminder of what is actually important in this f*#ked up world

If the World is f*#ked up, It's because YOU allowed it.
Free will? Nope. It's YOUR fault.
Damn you.

I don't allow sh#t..
I do lots of good and I'm not afraid to kick ass!
I do it everyday and have paid for it also.
This guy wins football games and is a coward...
And if someone can't see it, they are cowards too.

In this Life, we're ALL forced into cowardly positions.
YOU decide if you stay there.
It's just a factor of what makes you, you.
Pick your battles well, little Murse.

Or pick no battle at all ever.....many do!
But please if you see a little boy getting sodomised .
At least if someone is to cowardly to do anything about it themselves, then at least tell someone who isn't before you slink back off and hide under a rock.

Tell someone? How about kicking his ass onsite?
In the moment.

You talk a lot, Wyna. That happens on the intardnets, it seems.
Think.
Think hard. Can you?
