You forget to mention that Sandusky had been previously cleared of an abuse charge in 1998, after an investigation by five different government agencies.

I don't think Paterno can be faulted for proceeding with a certain amount of caution after that.

You also forget that the only version we have of the Paterno-McQueary meeting was reported by McQueary.

There is NO rebuttal version by Paterno.

Personally, I would want to hear Paterno’s side of that story before I tore down his statue.

And I still can't get past the shock that McQueary, who claims he witnessed a child rape, never filed a police report on his own.

Would you have failed to file a report?

I doubt it.

Would your own father - like McQueary’s father - advise you NOT to file a police report?

I doubt it.

NO rebuttal by Paterno? He had the opportunity to rebut but didn't. Was that because McQueary's version was accurate? I think so.

Re: Personally, I would want to hear Paterno’s side of that story before I tore down his statue.

Paterno had the opportunity to speak but didn't.

And what about Paterno's comment outside his home, "I wish I had done more." He could have done more, but didn't.

Case closed!
