WTF Humanity?

Me too, Catalina Rose, and I am grateful to see the focus shift from Paterno and the Lions to the children who have been sexualized and victimized and whose lives will be forever changed.

The vigil was immediate! (I posted that) however the media chose to ignore that and gave fuel to the students who were outside Paterno's house and then eventually rioting in the streets. Thats how sick our society is.

More SICK news to report. Paterno is going to collect half a million in retirement. Wait! How does that work....he was fired..... I'm not understand the boys club rules.

Yes, the retirement money is one new piece of this, and in another, he may have well had some sense of what was coming down the pick. He transferred home ownwership of his house to his wife for $1 in July:

UGH! Well, this investigation has actually been going on for quite a few years. All of these people have been collecting pay checks from a state run educational institution on the tax payer's dime! Also, there is an Asst. DA still "missing" from the earlier cases that never got to court.

By the time this goes through the courts (both criminal and civil), we are going to see a lot uncovered that will be sickening, yet, nothing new. And that bugs the hell out of me.

The DA who first was involved is now our Governor. He's a piece of tea party crap.

Oh, Jeez, Corkey. Lucky you...

This story has become a freefall. I'm actually grateful it won't go away, especially if it brings so much to light.

Yup! And I think this is going to blow the lid off of much more than child sex abuse as it unfolds. And it should because it is not only child sexual abuse predators that do the actual abuse- this issue is very much tied to power dynamics and politics- mainly patriarchal power politics. The Catholic Church is the prime example of this. And one would have to be stuck on stupid to not connect the dots with other patriarchal based institutions all around us that self-protect.
