Joe Paterno must be fired today


This is not something I would ordinarily write about but I have read the grand jury report on the Penn State situation and am so hurt and angry that I must vent some way.   For 12 or 15 years a monster has abused boys while  others who knew about it did nothing to stop it.  They put the name of Penn State ahead of the lives of innocent boys, and everyone involved from the president on down should be dismissed immediately.  No need for the board of regents to appoint a committee to meet and investigate. Act now.

For Joe Paterno to prowl the sidelines during the game Saturday with Nebraska would be a travesty and an insult to the victims and their families.  That goes for every other person who enabled Sandusky to continue to abuse boys sexually.  

Finding something good that could come from this is well nigh impossible. Perhaps, it will make people more determined to do their utmost to stop evil when they see it.  Sins of omission can be worse than sins of commission.

I just cannot get over the lack of action by so many who could have acted and saved those boys from abuse that will scar them all their lives.
