FTFA: The mother of Victim 1 has told ABC news that the students at her son's high school blame Victim 1 for the firing of Joe PEDernO.

/ Stay classy, Penn State fans

veedeevadeevoodee: Stay classy, Penn State fans

You're talking about them like they have a choice.
they don't.
they are too ignorant to know what class is.

The scandal didn't make me think any less of Penn State as an institution. The reaction of the students and fans did though.

So now Penn State fans and their children are blaming one of the victims for getting Joe Paterno fired? Really? Those who feel this way are seriously farked up.

"Coach Paterno strongly condemns harassment or bullying of any kinds, and he asks anyone who truly cares about Penn State to conduct themselves honorably and with respect for others. Coach Paterno also requests his oatmeal to sit out for a few minutes to cool down, and not to ask for statements from him during his second scheduled nap break of the day"

/basically how I read that statement.

Kids will make fun of each other for any reason. In middle school, some 6th grader was bullied because an 8th grader dry humped his leg on the late bus. Pre-teens and teenagers are farking vicious.

I know kids can be vicious but I don't ever recall blaming a victim of child molestation. I think we all can agree that this goes beyond kids being kids.

This is what happens when you let the football program get too powerful in a small college town. If it falls from grace, the whole city goes down with it. Stillwater, Gainesville, Clemson, College Station, the rest of you, learn from the example being made of State College. Either you remember that you are ultimately building your town around a university, with kids and young adults, or this could happen to you.

The problem is, and always will be, hillbillies.

What would the "journalist" like Mr. Paterno to say in this situation that would have any bearing the this victims future?

How about 'leave the kid alone'?

If the victim is supposed to be kept anonymous due to him being a minor, how exactly do the other students know about him?

...

No one's asking this?

The grand jusry report is extremely specific w/r/t which kids were with sandusky in very public situations. One was in a linebacker video that has millions of hits on youtube. There was a parody video that was taken down when the author realized that one of them was potentially actually a victim.

I can picture Joe Paterno pleasuring himself while Jerry Sandusky did the dirty.

That explains why the police were NEVER notified. They call it "Happy Valley" for a reason...

Just so you know, if that's what you think of, I think you may need to turn yourself in to CPS.

Just remember everyone Joe Paterno is the REAL victim in all of this. That poor, sweet old man. All he ever wanted to do is instill honor and integrity in the form of his Grand Experiment, uniting big time academics and athletics.

There's only one problem: that word, experiment. We're all observing the results right now. The only sane hypothesis is that BIG TIME COLLEGE FOOTBALL affords winning programs a degree of power that makes any disruption of the machine too costly. Even if it means you have to kinda forget about what you were told about your employee raping a 10 year old boy in the shower.

But hey, at least if your former team wins the B1G your son can put a post-it note with your name written on it on the trophy! The P in PSU does not stand for priorities, as evidence by the immortal words of Joe Paterno when this scandal first hit:

"BEAT NEBRASKA!"

Dear Pennsylvania,

Thanks for making us look good.

Sincerely,

The South

P.S., nice touch adding the whole "intelligent design is real science (new window)" stuff

I beg your pardon. As a rule, hillbillies tend to keep it in the family. They have standards sir. Standards.

We dont blame him for the abuse. We blame him for ignoring it for years

Thanks for that link. I just posted it on another website where a certain internet dentist (he has a new nickname there: "Pherp") was accusing ex-governor Rendell (D) of knowing and covering up for Sandusky. Turns out that Tom Corbett (R) may have been guilty of what Rendell was being accused of.

"Hey Joe, we know you're 84 and just started lung cancer treatment and are being treated like shiat by the media, but would you mind coming on the TV and tell some undereducated mountain boys to stop being bullies? We promise that's all we'll talk about. Pinky swear!"

"Hi. I'm Mr. Paterno's Lawyer. This has nothing to do with Mr. Paterno. He has enormous regret and sympathy for the victims and is against bullying of any kind, but if he were to come on here, he would just be feeding the continued media frenzy and would not be in his best interest."

"Outrage!!!!"

"I know, let's talk about how this grand jury report was filed under seal to protect the victims' identities, but yet got released anyway."

"Outrage!!!!"

"How about that the national media has knowingly libeled and slandered Mr. Paterno by presenting speculation, conjecture, and lies as fact?"

"Outrage!!!!"

"Can I go?"

"Outrage!!!!"
