Chanting "Hell no, Joe won't go" and "We want Joe back," they also cursed former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who was charged on Saturday with sexually abusing eight young boys over a period of nearly 15 years.
Two other university officials have been charged with failing to report an incident in 2002 when Sandusky allegedly was seen sexually assaulting a child.
Paterno, who has been head coach for 46 years, was dismissed Wednesday by the university's board of trustees along with university President Graham Spanier hours after the U.S. Education Department announced an investigation of conduct at Penn State

How very misleading of you Massanova, those students did not riot over the cover up. They rioted over Paterno being fired - as well he should have been.
Your title might be eye catching but it is really misleading.

Hold on, according to the story, Paterno knew about the child rape and did nothing about it. These students are rioting because he was fired for not going to police about it.
Obviously football is more important that exposing child rape.

If you listen to the audio of the students before they tipped over that van -- they were chanting to keep Paterno. They didn't seem even a little bit interested that children had been raped and the Penn State Football organization, covered it up. That is what I mean about they were not protesting the cover up, they were protesting the firing of Paterno. I realize that you state as much in the body of your posting, but your title imply that they were angry about the child rapes and cover up.
