Seriously though. First we had "riots" where people used the shooting of a man to run wild, trash their communities and steal a bunch of shit. Now people are "rioting" because a football coach covered for his child-molesting buddy and was rightly fired. I'm just speechless really and almost sympathetic towards those who go on shooting rampages. A large percentage of today's youth fucking sucks.
I don't know why it is that you believe that Joe Paterno covered up for Jerry Sandusky in any way whatsoever. Did you not read the pdf link you posted at the end of your original post?
Joe Paterno reported to his immediate supervisor, the athletic director at Penn State, Tim Curley, the very next day what the graduate assistant told him that he had witnessed Jerry Sandusky doing to the child in the locker room. Then Tim Curley and Gary Shultz met with the graduate student directly about ten days later to find out first hand what it was that he saw.
I think that the protestors wonder why Joe Paterno is being fired when he reported the information which he heard second hand from the graduate student immediately to his boss, who reported it to the University President, Graham Spanier, along with letting him know what steps he had already taken to deal with it. I think that the person who was the one with the responsibility to report the abuse was "the person in charge of the school or institution" which was not Joe Paterno.
