All that was necessary for evil to triumph was for Joe Paterno to do nothing
Joe Paterno did NOTHING? Is that true? Joe Paterno heard about this and did NOTHING? I thought he reported it to his superiors? What are the facts?
I love all of you folks who pound your chests and trumpet what you would do in this situation. You all sound like the folks going on and on about a few Marines peeing on a couple dead Taliban. Never being in a combat zone, never fighting these animals, never seeing a comrade die, yet sitting in judgement.
Please, any of you righteous, give me examples of what you have done when in your own lives you have come across abusive situations involving children. I especially want examples from those with the most venom for Paterno.
In addition, please give examples of what you are doing NOW to help abuse victims since learning what happened at PSU.
I suspect, behind the safety of your monitors and keyboards you do nothing except pile on a dying old man who used poor judgement.
How brave and courageous you are. (SARC!!!!)
