So, what would you do?

[MadHound]

This is the statue of Joe Paterno that graces the Penn State campus:


In light of the Sandusky scandal, and Paterno cover up, a lot of people are questioning all things Paterno, including whether this statue should remain standing. A lot of people think it should come down, even Bobby Bowden.

So, what is your thought on the matter? Me, I think that they should bring down that statue quick, not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it they don't, somebody with a torch or other implement of destruction will bring it down for them.

1. Turn the statue around

so that JoePa can look the other way
like he did in real life

[PoliticAverse]

2. Leave it but put blinders on it. n/t

[Comrade_McKenzie]

[soccer1]

4. Remove it or relocate it....

to a less conspicuous area on campus.

[tk2kewl]

5. Put a memorial to the victims right next to it.

[slackmaster]

6. This. And a plaque explaining how Paterno brought shame on the school through inaction.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

9. not just Paterno...

15. why not just take the statue away? We put up statues for heroes not bad people...

If they keep the statue up, they are quietly acknowledging that Paterno is a hero...

[slackmaster]

18. Stop calling it a statue and re-classify it as an effigy

No problem.

[CTyankee]

19. but you can't burn it. too bad...

[slackmaster]

22. Ah, but it's made of bronze. You can wrap it in gasoline-soaked rags and burn it every day.

For years and years and years.

[CTyankee]

23. Hmm, I prefer a more temporary burning at the stake. Kind of like the heretics of the

middle ages. But alas, no.. not possible...

[Aerows]

7. They ought to feed pigeons

by it continuously until it comes down.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

8. go much farther...

raze the campus...burn the remains...salt the ground...

sP

[gopiscrap]

11. I agree but make sure you also indict the Gov.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

16. everyone who had ANY information and let that bastard not only roam free

but keep buggering little boys...

sP

[FSogol]

21. +1 n/t

[gopiscrap]

10. Paterno was your typical POS repuke

look the other way as long as you're making money...no matter who gets destroyed in the process!

[GoneOffShore]

12. Melt it down.

[seabeyond]

13. as i told my teenage son, this one act took down all the good he brought. kids hurt.

he ignored kids being hurt. for me, it is really that simple. ANYONE who would walk away from someone being hurt is less as far as i am concerned, but kids. dependent on us adults..... ALL of us, to protect them.

[HappyMe]

14. Take it down.

It's nauseating in the light of this horror.

[raouldukelives]

17. Charge people money for a chance to deface it with a hammer.

Then melt it down and give all the proceeds to the victims.

[CTyankee]

20. THAT I like! People can take their anger out on inanimate material...
