Do you know something I don’t know? Who enabled js?

Who didn't?

In what manner?

Sandusky was raping boys on the Penn State campus for 17 years. 17 years. You can't tell me people didn't know about it.

We know that Sandusky was investigated for inappropriate contact with children in 1998. We know that he was told in 2001 to try to keep his child rape off-campus. We know that Paterno, Tim Curley, and some administration members were told what Mike McQueary saw in 2002, although the level of detail is certainly disputed. And yet Sandusky had access to locker rooms and other Penn State facilities until November of 2011.

Every boy Sandusky raped after 1998 was enabled by the Penn State administration because they kept him in a position to recruit, groom, and rape little boys, and an unknown number of other Penn State staff and administration knew about it and did nothing.

You read news stories and fairy tales from louis freeh. I read facts.

Facts? Was Sandusky *not* investigated in 1998? Were Paterno and Curley not informed by McQueary in 2002? Did Sandusky not rape boys in Penn State locker rooms for 15 years? If none of these things actually happened, I will be happy to stand corrected. So did none of them actually happen?

There is a trial scheduled - supposedly - in 2014 that will hopefully determine guilt or innocence of those you have already ascribed guilt to. Why would you ascribe guilt to someone who hasn’t been proven of doing anything wrong? Do you know Tim Curley? I do. He wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s probably never had a parking ticket. He has children. He’s not an enabler. Anyone that says he is (including the PA OAG) is literally/physically out of their minds.

Although I would note that I am not under the same "presumed innocent" obligations as a court of law, I have not ascribed guilt to anyone on an individual basis. Is it possible that Tim Curley will be exonerated and that he acted reasonably, that he didn't know anything? Sure, I suppose that's possible, though I doubt it. But do I think it's possible that *everyone* at Penn State will be exonerated? No. Regardless of the guilt or innocence of any individual, it seems clear to me that there were many in the administration, all the way to the top, who knew what was happening and allowed, even enabled, it to continue.

As an institution, then, Penn State is guilty of enabling at least 13 years of child rape. The NCAA - or the Big Ten, or a court of law - should have ordered the entire campus burned to the ground and the earth salted as a warning to every other institution of what happens when this kind of vile evil is tolerated and enabled in their midst.

What a joke. I guess the whole state of PA knew. George Bush must have known when he named js one of his “1,000 points of light”.

Get over your hate and realize that pedophiles fool everyone.
