‘Penn State fans are cling to this as another justification for their ZERO accountability.’
So, the typical Penn State fan is accountable, for what exactly?
These are people who had no contact with JS, the actual pedophile. Accountable because they lived within 100 miles of State College? Accountable because they either attended Penn St or knew someone who did?
The more that this drags on, the more this becomes about tarnishing an entire region of this nation for no other reason than to make others feel good about themselves.
The analogy here is that because Dorner is from Los Angeles, then every resident of Southern Californis is either a cop-killer or a cop-killer sympathizer.
For the last time, the Freeh report was a compendium of what Louis Freeh, thought, had happened at Penn State. Louis never intended for his report to be used beyond the BOT.
We should be careful tossing around Guilt by Association charges. One never knows when it could come home to bite one in the buttocks.
This “study” is being funded by folks who had intimate contact with Sandusky. What do YOU think the results will be? I know - zero accountability for the numerous faults of the university, it’s officials, culture, and specifically JoePa.
And no, it’s not about tarnishing the region, it’s about shaking our heads at the Penn Staters who defiantly try to say nothing is wrong. “It was one man, and maybe a single official or two, who are to blame - nothing else”. What % accountability do you think will rest at JoePa’s feet from this report?
you do realize there is a trail out there to shows JoePa knew about SAndusky in 1997-8, he was informed about yet another incident by McQuery in 2002, and JoePA/the rest of the leadership at Penn State, still sat back doing nothing while Sandusky was violating children down the hallway from JoePa’s office AFTER 2002?
Yeah, enjoy your “See we(penn state) did nothing wrong!!!”, joke of a report. It will no nothing but make the ostriches at Penn State look even worse.
It's incredible how many freepers fell for the "Guilt by Association" gambit (and still do) when the incredible hammer of moral and economic injustice was smashed indiscriminately on the university, the community and on the heads of everyone including the school janitor that had any connection with Penn or Paterno....innocent or otherwise.
"Guilt by Association"....one of the age-old pillars of the "commune vs. the individual" agenda.
I was in church the Sunday morning after Martin Luther King was assassinated. More than 200 in the pews.
The substitute young pastor (fresh out of seminary) delivering the sermon leaned forward in the pulpit and, pointing his finger repeatedly, stated over and over again:......"and YOU pulled the trigger"....."and YOU pulled the trigger"....."and YOU pulled the trigger".
An usher, our Township Supervisor (a heavy donor to the church) and I got up and quietly walked out. The scores of other congregants sat mute and took their indictment like sheep.
The upshot was that the liberal young minister was never invited back. He is now the head Administrator of a large Senior rest home and hospital facility owned by our denomination in my former state of Illinois. Probably where he and his bleeding heart belong.
The point here being...."Guilt by Association" is a marxist/fascist propaganda tactic. Watch for it everywhere. Obama's speeches are rife with it. The anti-gun movement is rife with it.
Separate out those who are the real perpetrators and sinners.
