I had to quote this because this right here speaks so much truth. Now I'm off to bed. See you NTers in the morning.Originally Posted by AZwildcats
10% of the students protesting are legitimately upset with the decision. The other 90% are just bored and see an opportunity to riot. Its really sad the sheep mentality in action.
I normally can take a firm stance on how I feel about a story, but this one really bothers me. I feel absolutely terrible for the victims and wish them the best in the future. No amount of money or jail-time for Sandusky can compensate for what happened to them. I am dumbfounded as to how Mcqueary still has a job and wasn't fired before Paterno.
But my feelings towards what happened to Paterno conflict each other. On one hand I felt he neglected the kids who were abused by not reporting the incidence to the police. On the other hand I cant help but feel sympathy for him because of what he did for the community. He himself did not abuse the kids, and I disagree with people saying what he did was as bad as Sandusky. He did what he was legally obligated to do, he is only guilty of "questionable morality". If anything Mcqueary should have been fired first and foremost.
I havent been this interested in a story in a long time.
That third paragraph sums up exactly how I feel.
