Yes, let’s be clear. How many people actually turned over that truck? Let’s be generous and say 100. How many students on the various PSU campuses? Let’s be conservative and say 50,000. Now do the math.
Have you ever lived in a city where people rioted? Any friends or family? Would any of you like to share the blame for it?
Most people, when faced with the discovery that they live in a city where folks see fit to tear the place apart over a child rapist protector getting fired, tend to move away. Fast. As a rule of thumb I try to avoid living in communities that engage in cult hero worship. If one has young sons, that would have been good foresight no?
Am willing to bet that your “tiny minority” of rioters will be VASTLY bigger in numbers than any sort of damage control rallies that take place in its aftermath. Perhaps PSU should start distributing “walking around” money to boost attendance?
