6. So much respect for the First Amendment...

...Penn State students must not know much about it.

7. Are they pedophiles themselves or what? nt

[Old and In the Way]

8. The students are not doing PSU any favors by reacting this way.

They are making a bad situation even worse for their school's reputation.

10. Pedophile-worshipping idiots.

[Orrex]

14. ???

Paterno is a pedophile?

[Tx4obama]

20. Paterno is NOT a pedophile. n/t

[Luminous Animal]

21. Nope. He's a pedophile enabler.

Being a good soldier is not an adequate defense.

[Orrex]

24. Well, in JoePa's defense...

Um...



Nope. Got nothing.

13. I hope they don't find the pedophile's victims.

I shudder to think.

[Orrex]

15. Yeah. Well. State College PA has always had its share of riot-hungry idiots

I recall the riot that started in 98 because a bunch of assholes were mad that the bars closed at 2:00AM.

Any excuse to riot in that wacky town.

[highplainsdem]

16. ESPN anchor asked if students had been drinking, reporter said it had started at fraternities

[Orrex]

19. Drinking?!? At Penn State?!? The hell you say!

[struggle4progress]

17. PSU student newspaper Daily Collegian twitter feed:

25. Thanks!

[ellisonz]

18. NCAA should enact a 5 year bowl ban on Penn State.

[highplainsdem]

23. One of their reporters was hit with a rock, has now left the area.

[melissaf]

26. I grew up in State College, and I can tell you

none of this behavior is surprising. The students riot every few years for one reason or another. The students were probably going to riot no matter when Joe left, whether by firing or on his own terms.

Penn State is out in the middle of nowhere. The whole reason Penn State means anything to the outside world (at least in the students' eyes) is Joe Paterno. Some students have based their whole identity around Joe and a winning football team. That's what the students are reacting to: a massive loss of group identity. (Being sh*tfaced probably doesn't help, either.)
