Question: Were Penn State Students Justified in Rioting Paterno's Ouster?

Could he have done more? Should he have done more?

None of that seemed to matter to thousands of Penn State students and Joe Paterno fans, who took to the streets of State College, Pa., Wednesday night and rioted over their beloved "JoePa's" ouster as the longtime coach of the Nittany Lions. Both Paterno, and university coach Graham Spanier, were fired amidst growing unrest and belief that they, and others, failed to do as much as they could in reporting the alleged sexual abuse of young boys by longtime coach Jerry Sandusky.

Among the damage done in Wednesday night's riots: rocks thrown at police, lamp posts and street signs torn down and a newsvan tipped over.

The argument from some students is that it is unfair for Paterno to be fired, after decades of service to the Penn State community, and what some say is slander of the coach's name through the media.

Which brings us to our "Question of the Day:" Were Penn State students justified in protesting the firing of Joe Paterno? Was it a situation that got out of hand, but valid nonetheless? Or, is this a case of young, over-emotional kids seeing their idol demonized, and not bothering to look at the apparent facts of the entire situation? Chime in below.
