I'm having trouble understanding why Penn State students and alumni are personalizing this situation. They're not at fault. I can understand being disgusted at what happened, but to feel personally connected to the case is difficult for me to grasp.

It's nice to feel a connection to one's alma mater...I know I do...but to be as affected as the people whose posts are showing up in my FB news feed is taking things to an extreme.
