On 5 November 2011, Jerry Sandusky was charged and arrested for sexually assaulting boys over a 15 year period. Within days, Penn State elders quickly found themselves in the midst of a firestorm, when it was discovered head coach Joe Paterno knew about it. Three days later, Joe Paterno was fired.
But the flames continue to rage, inexplicably, in support of Penn State's now-former head coach. On 10 November, the students rose up in revolt.
A thumbnail sketch of this shameful and disgusting chain of events is available on Wikipedia.
So how is an image of the RMS Titanic tied to a long-running case of child sex abuse?
Leave it to Mark Steyn, to spot the symptoms of societal decline in the eye of this storm. He connects the dots-of-doom in his latest article in the OC Register.
