The Attorney General praised Joe Paterno’s efforts, so I don’t want to hear this Joe bashing.
THEY said that they told him not to but THEY also said that it was not enforced.
Don't forget that PSU president Spanier was also 'informed' of the situation.
Poor Joe. He has a known child molester on his staff. The molester retires and get’s caught in Joe’s locker room banging a 10 year old kid. Poor Joe. Poor Joe sees that no one reports said molestor to the cops but lets the known molester hang out with the guys. Poor Joe. One word to the authorities from ‘Poor Joe’ would have prevented years of child abuse on numerous kids. But what’s poor Joe to do. He’s only the coach. Not his responsibility.
Joe is part of a coverup that let Sandusky rape kids for decades.
What efforts? Seriously, read the report to the Grand Jury.
What do you expect the AG to say?
With all JoePa has done for young men and Penn State (and its library), JoePa is the finest football coach of my lifetime. And I don't live remotely near Pennsylvania, and I didn't attend a Big 10 university.
JoePa did very, very little. And he delayed in doing it.
Paterno reported it to the University Park Police Department, did he not?
What else would you want him to do?
And by the way, Paterno and Sandusky did not have a good relationship with each other.
He did not.
Post 65 sums things up pretty well.
I always wondered what it would take to get Paterno out. Never guessed this.
He hired the witness on as an assistant coach. He did all in his power to keep it covered up and allow the molestations to continue.
And by the way, Paterno and Sandusky did not have a good relationship with each other.
Poor Joe. Forced to hire someone he had a bad relationship with. Your joking, right?
Bottom line. It doesn't matter if you are a child molester in you produce results on the field?
True.
He did all in his power to keep it covered up and allow the molestations to continue.
False, or he would not have told anyone.
Poor Joe. Forced to hire someone he had a bad relationship with. Your joking, right?
You must be the one who's joking. I'm correcting your insinuations that Paterno was covering up for his pal Sandusky, like when you said:
Sandusky is one of our pals and we will let him keep on molesting kids.
Since post number 65 does not suggest that in any way, shape, or form, you must be some type of troll or Pitt fan, so I'm done responding to you.
And he did report it to Shultz, who was head of University Police (they are real cops.)
My husband reminded me last night of a program in Tucson for at risk kids. The doc/shrink who ran the place was doing the dirty as well. I can’t remember the guy’s name or many details. It was in the news in the last 3 years. (I’m getting old. I forget so many things.)
Jesse Jackson?
Mel Reynolds?
Elliot Spitzer?
The (late, dishonourable) Ted Kennedy?
The entire Democrat Party?
Cheers!
Absolutely - city police and/or sheriff needed to be brought in. The campus police may be well trained and professional, but they work for a bureaucracy that is compromised in this incident.
A campus is NOT a sovereign nation, they are subject to the same laws everyone else is. They don't get to decide what criminal act merits punishment or reporting to local or state authorities.
A LOT of people are dirty in this one.
JP covered up years of child molesting. Are you trying to cover for him?
Boris Badenov: Ah, it good to be back on campus.
Natasha Fatale: Boris, you went to college? Penn State?
Boris Badenov: No, state pen.
It sounds like *someone* from Penn State is headed for the State Pen...
NO cheers, unfortunately.
BTW, has anyone asked Kevin Jennings, the New York Public School Sex Education crowd, or NAMBLA about this for an on-the-record comment?
