When Vicky Triponey tried to get the criminal acts of Penn State football players treated as criminal acts she was hounded out of town by the entire city: random death threats, acts of vandalism, 'For Sale' signs posted on her lawn.
The entire community must pay the price of silence.
And that’s where I come down on this. Too many at PSU and in the community were willing to look the other way, as long as Paterno kept up their records.
The program should be demolished.

I am not familiar with this case. However, if people were involved in criminal acts I believe they should be prosecuted. If people illegally harassed or assaulted an innocent woman I believe they should be prosecuted. I don't believe everyone in a community should “pay the price”.
It couldn’t be more obvious that the Penn State community and the people around it care more about their precious football program and the money it brings in than anything else in the world. That’s why this coverup happened in the first place, and why the program needs be taken away from them.
