Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE 2* Sandusky Arrested Again

Life and death, fear and loathing in the big tucky.

 

I am under the NY Times paywall, but here is a time line of the frat death. This is bad.

Security footage details Penn State fraternity pledge's final hours in fatal hazing ritual

 

That shit is unbelievable. He didn't just pass out. They had 12 hours and multiple instances of distress -- including when he hit his head against hard objects -- and chose to do nothing. Even after he turned blue and his body was cold, they waited 40 minutes to call 911.

Now what about the culture of the university could lead to this, I wonder:

But nearly a half-hour after Piazza’s fall, Kordel Davis, a newly initiated fraternity member, had had enough. Security footage described in the presentment shows him growing increasingly agitated in his discussions with his fraternity brothers.

He would later testify before the grand jury that he insisted that Piazza needed immediate medical attention. He screamed for someone to call 911, but the others shouted him down.

“In response, [member] Jonah Neuman rose from the couch, shoved Davis into an opposite wall and instructed [him] to leave,” the presentment states.

Davis turned elsewhere for help, but fraternity vice president Ed Gilmartin allegedly told him that he was crazy and that his opinion meant little against those of fraternity members majoring in kinesiology or biology.

 

How does this affect football? That is all that really matters here.

 

LMFAO!

"I know what I'm doing! I'm a future gym teacher!"

Anthony Morelli was a kinesiology major for fuck sake.

 

Who's going to pay the millions for this shit?

 

Not sure, but the Jonah Neuman statue is going to have to come down.

 

Hazing deaths are truly a "but for the grace of God situation" at any campus. Never underestimate the stupidity of packs of feral 18-22 year olds buzzed on alcohol and conformity.

 

Doesn't this behavior cut across all classes, not just colleges/universities?

 

Flying completely under the radar is the fact that Penn State's 50-something head athletic trainer was living with the fraternity at the house when this all went down. Cause that's normal.

 

IIRC. You told us about one of early butt chugging cases in TN.

Scary. Admittedly intriguing. But scary.

 

Uh, what?
