Penn State Riots About White Men Not Liking to Be Held Accountable

If, like me, you scanned the crowds rioting at Penn State last night after the announcement of the firing of Joe Paterno, you may have noticed that nearly all the people there were white men. The riots were about white men not liking to be held accountable.

As a native Pennsylvanian, I never once considered attending Penn State University. Penn State always seemed like a place full of cliquish white people recalling their glory years of making fun of the dorky kids in high school. More progressive white people and people of color went to big city state schools like Pitt or Temple while whiter, more conservative types tended to dominate the settings of the rural, fraternity-heavy Penn State campus.

At the center of Penn State’s conservative culture stood Joe Paterno -- who frequently campaigned and fundraised for conservative politicians throughout Pennsylvania.

Can you tell me why we should give a red rat’s ass what Micheal Moore has to say about anything???

The man is an assclown, his ideas are usually stupid and his opinions are irrelevant.

“instead of this is gay friendly academia allowing buggering to take place because it’s the new normal.”

IMO this author ought to put down the crack pipe, this has NOTHING to do with “conservative culture” whatsoever!!! I read a post here last night stating that particular university is one of the most gay-friendly in the nation. Making a donation to a few RINO’s is meaningless!!!

This was written by “Mike Elk”, not Moore, though the two are equally wacky;)

Speaking of murder, has anyone found that missing D.A.?.......

That's one thing that PSU has in its favor.

To waterlog his work computer and disappear, seems more a willful disappearance than murder.

I’d suggest starting to search in Mexico, amigo.

OK. I stand corrected. But being from his website makes it just as useless.

Micheal Moore’s site. Micheal Moore’s stamp of approval. Micheal Moore’s commie spew. All the same thing really.

Not about white men but about a coach who did nothing had nothing to do with the asst coach actions. Wish all of as would get as excited about what the black Obama is doing to the country, the kids!!!

No Michael you butt munch. What these riots illustrate is that university students, like the ones your hero Obama has been pandering to, are inexperienced immature ‘kids’ who need to grow up.

Evidently, so do you.

Maybe so but why didn’t he just not investigate the case, or overwrite the files, or take the laptop to Mexico with him?

Is “grotesquely obese” a racial classification?

For the American Pima Indians and some South Pacific folks, pretty much.

This just demonstraes that if you dumb down education enough, White males will start acting like Black males.

Computers are traceable. When you connect to the internet, you become traceable whereever you are. When you use internet programs, like email, the authorities know.

So, if he has been in contact with Sandusky at all, since his disappearance, he’s at risk of being found.

You have to totally disconnect if you don’t want to be found.

As far as not prosecuting the case, the most logical answer would be that he may have been part of it, because if his case was merely inadequate, there’s no reason to destroy files. They should be kept incase evidence comes in that makes it prosecutable.
