I can't for the life of me imagine an adult who, when informed that someone was in the gymnasium showers raping a 10 year old boy, wouldn't drop everything they were doing and gather up as many available other adults and storm over to the showering area with clubs, and/or other implements, to rescue the boy. And on the way, calling the campus and off-campus police. Anyone arguing about ANYTHING other than taking that type of immediate action is, in my mind, beyond strange, and working towards a hidden agenda.

Exactly.

Now here's the capper (something that the rah-rah Penn Staters don't seemingly care to confess):

The FACT that McQueary didn't do as you mention above, would seem to be a rather negative "feather" to his cap when it came to Paterno & the Penn State gatekeepers deciding upon who their head of recruiting would be, right?

I mean...even if it wasn't widely known at that time...who wants to hire a "coward" as your head of recruiting?? Don't you want someone's who bold & daring & someone who will be right out front in that role? Yes?

But that didn't stop the Penn State boys from "rewarding" McQueary with that promotion.

McQueary's two-step advancement thru the ranks AFTER he saw what occurred in the shower stall is a key tell-tale sign.

You’re simply delusional. MM was promoted 2 years after the Victim #2 incident. If there was a conspiracy involving a promotion for silence, why didn’t Joe just tell MM to keep his mouth shut? What was the payoff for Joe by rewarding MM with the promotion? Why did MM retain a relationship with JS? Why, 10 years later did Joe encourage MM to testify before a Grand Jury and simply tell the truth (which he didn’t do)? Why did Joe tell MM to get his own attorney because Cynthia Baldwin (PSU counsel) couldn’t be trusted? Why didn’t MM flip on Joe instead of praising his handling of the situation?

Quite a conspiracy.
