I can't help but be slightly amused by people feeling sorry for Penn State students and alum. They should not be demonized (why would they be?) but feeling sorry for them is the other extreme. I feel apathetic towards them...and slight amusement when I read people expressing sympathy towards them.
No one expects you to feel sorry for students or alumni but, have some empathy-have some heart for the people who just found out that horrible stuff was going on at their alma mater. There are some of us who are completely disgusted by what was done that we are trying to turn this into something where we can help victims by raising money for RAINN through donation and buying shirts with all proceeds going towards Prevent Child Abuse. Have some empathy that everything we have ever stood for (thanks to the university that has helped shape us) now stands for corruption and cover-up. Just think about that before you laugh at those of us who are grieving.
