Penn State Students, Even More Tactless, If You can Believe It
 Because, you know, riots in defense of child-rape enablers over some stupid sport isn't bad enough.


(CBS) - As the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State continues to unfold, the pain and outrage over Jerry Sandusky and the Penn State football program extend beyond the victims. A sister of one of the victims, herself a junior Penn State, relates her experience on campus, where some students are making light of the situation. The sister says that there are people on campus making jokes about being "Sanduskied."

In an interview with The Patriot-News, the sister describes her horror at what she hears from her classmates.

"I can't escape it," says the sister, whose name was withheld by The Patriot-News. "I've been going to minimal classes, because every class I go to I get sick to my stomach. People are making jokes about it. I understand they don't know I'm involved and it was my brother, but it's still really hard to swallow that."

<clip>

"I've just been really upset about it all because a lot of people aren't focusing on the victims in this," she told The Patriot-News. "And instead they're focusing on other things, like football. As much as you shouldn't blame the football players ... they should be focusing on their respect for the families and what they've been through."

Nope, this isn't it. The response, is.

Huh??

Probably channeling Nads.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Sometimes, people deal with horrific situations with humor.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

If this was some liberal icon at the heart of this issue then they'd be falling all over themselves making excuses and the student would have be heros, defending the right of someone to live an "alternative lifestyle".

Now go back to your tents and coddle your rapists and pedaphiles.

The dental adhesive primitive has been on a roll lately, 



if not making a clandestine run for DOTY, then certainly hoping for dishonorable mention.
