Former Penn State Coach Arrested

[DrPhil]

The man who is heading up this investigation will be on The Early Show this morning.

Another news source was discussing criminal and civil suits. Not only will individuals affiliated with Penn State be possibly held liable but also, possibly, Penn State itself. The comparison was made with Watergate in terms of "what did you know and when did you know it."

I will update my post when I see the interview and get more info.

I can't tell Penn State alums how to feel. I will just say that I don't think about the VTech shooting when I think about and see VTech. Of course, those who were on VTech's campus that day or whose family member was victimized are more likely to think about that shooting everytime they see or hear VTech.

VTech =/= that shooter
VTech > that shooter

Agreed. I'd add to that that with VA Tech, both alumni and the rest of us have the perspective of 4+ years. The situation at Penn State is fresh and raw and in the front of everyone's minds -- I would think it would be very hard to have any real perspective at this point.

Where has anyone told anyone how to feel? The whole situation is tragic, and in a perfect world, it never would have happened. However, Penn State will go on.

No one in this thread has, I don't think. But als463 reported that others had done that to her; this is the reference point:

This situation has truly shown me who my real friends and "sisters" (from other schools) are. Just like I would never tell the Alums of Virginia Tech how to feel about what happened at their university, I would appreciate it if people who have no connection to PSU would stop telling me how I should feel. In general-don't tell people how they should feel about anything.

I did not read als463's post. I simply stated that I can't tell Penn State alum how to feel because I can't. Simple and plain.

I can't either. It sucks.

Thanks, Mystic Cat for pointing out the reference. I somehow missed it, and it seemed that the thread was going off on this tangent about how people were telling Penn Staters how to feel, which is just ridiculous. I will read better next time.
