WTF Humanity?

Actually, it makes me sick to my stomach.

"Penn State scandal shows how sex crimes on campus are covered up. 'There are a lot of very invidious ways that a school can go about squelching these reports. This is everyone's problem,' lawyer says

After the body of an Eastern Michigan University freshman was found in her dorm room in December 2006, naked from the waist down with a pillow over her head, the chief of the university police said there was “no reason to suspect foul play,” and let her parents believe she had died of natural causes.

That silence held for more than two months. In that time, the student who was eventually convicted in her murder had free run of a campus where he was previously caught climbing into a window of a university building...."

I am grateful to see this -

Thousands at Penn State honor alleged sex abuse victims



People gather in front of the Old Main building for a candlelight vigil on the Penn State campus Friday in State College, Pa. The vigil is being held in support of the alleged victims of a child sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant football coach.

Thank you for sharing this SNH! My heart aches for everyone hurt by that monster.

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.

There are cover-ups all over our college and university scandals including a hell of a lot concerning rape of female students. My hope is that this blows apart a hell of a lot of administrations across the US including what is going on outside of athletics.

I think the Penn State students at large are doing a good job in getting sentiments out about what has happened to the victims and their families. And Penn has always been up there in terms of several academic programs it has. I also don't negatively judge the students in athletics around this.

Wouldn't it though. I would love for the culture that breeds this to change.
