Dealing yet another black eye to the school's already battered and bruised reputation, students at Penn State University took to the streets to riot following the announcement that head Football coach Joe Paterno's employment with the school had been terminated.

Once on the streets, the students decided to take their anger out on a ENG van from nearby CBS affiliate WTAJ, flipping it over and smashing out the windshield. It's not clear if there were people in the vehicle at the time, but WTAJ's Facebook states that "everyone is OK".



A picture posted on the station's Facebook page shows the truck with a crumpled-in windshield. Another photo, taken about 10 minutes later by a local newspaper, shows the windshield completely removed from the truck, while the passenger side window seems to be smashed out as well.

On the lighter side, someone quickly set up a Twitter account for the distressed truck (dubbed "Robinson"), where it shared it's feelings on the matter.

UPDATE: Video from PSU's Centre County Report:
