THey flipped a news van!!!

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Hundreds of Penn State students have taken to the streets to chant their support for ousted football coach Joe Paterno.

The students flooded downtown State College on Wednesday night after Paterno and university President Graham Spanier were fired amid a growing furor linked to their handling of sex abuse allegations against a former assistant football coach.

The students gathered about two blocks from the campus, with some chanting `We want Joe! We want Joe!" Some shook a lamp post and others tipped over a news van (video below), kicking out its windows.
"If you make yourself more than just a man... If you devote yourself to an ideal... You become something else entirely- A Legend."

    If anyone has read the court documents about what went on it would make sense why they had no choice but to fire him but the fact still remains that he gave Penn State everything and they could have atleast handled him with Class. There were far, far more guilty people in that scandal than him. Including the sick bastard who was actually molesting the kids, nobody is even talking about him. #confusedtweet

    Those court documents were absolutely disgusting. I finally got a chance to read them last night and it made me feel sick. Now I understand the people at Penn State are angry but flipping a news van isnt going to change any bit of it. They should have had an unviolent protest without committing damage like a bunch of mindless apes but from what I read yesterday they were mostly disbursed at about 2am.
