(CNN) -- How does a survivor of sexual abuse respond to students rioting at Penn State? "You're not getting it. You just don't get it," said Dave Lorenz who was abused by a priest as a teen. "It's just stupid youthfulness." Earlier this week, legendary head football coach Joe Paterno was removed in the midst of a scandal involving sexual abuse allegations against a former defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky. What started as an apparent celebration of Paterno turned into a riot in the Pennsylvania town of State College. The crowd tipped over a news van and decried the media in anger Wednesday night. They held signs in support of "JoePa" -- a nickname for Paterno.

What bothered @placeholder is that students "rallied around (Paterno's) house, cheering him up."
