Plane flies over Penn State with warning: 'Take the Statue Down or We Will'

Joe Paterno's statue continues to be the center of controversy in the fallout from the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case.  After calls from numerous high profile names— including Bobby Bowden and Warren Sapp— to remove the statue, a small plane flew over State College Tuesday afternoon dragging an ominous banner which read: "TAKE THE STATUE DOWN OR WE WILL."



A photo of the banner was posted on Twitter and no one has taken credit for the stunt or explained who the "We" refers to.



Paterno's statue stands outside Beaver Stadium and has become a symbol of the Penn State administration's tolerance of Sandusky's 12 years of sexual deviance over damaging the football program's image.

There has been no reports on who paid for the plane and the banner.
