Sad. Not sad that the statue was taken down. Sad that Penn State did nothing over the years to prevent the abuse and horror that directly led to this event.
It’s hard to imagine this was an isolated event. How many other universities are just as guilty, but have not been discovered yet?
Joe Paterno’s statue at Penn State is gone, taken down after months of anger that only rose in recent weeks over Louis Freeh’s report, which appeared to implicate the legendary coach in the Jerry Sandusky affair. There it is. It’s gone. (photo by Christopher Weddle/Centre Daily Times)
