Please consider the leftist, liberal, pro-homosexual, environment of Penn State. Make an accusation like this, and your wrong, you lose your job and get sued.
Paterno is 84. Brought up in a time when this type of thing was never spoken of. You make a big deal out of him waiting a day to go to the AD. What time of day was it reported to him? In the AM, or the PM? What did he do in the time he waited? If you know, please share it with me I haven’t seen it reported in detail.
What EXACTLY did the GA tell Paterno? What EXACTLY did Paterno tell the AD? If you have a source for what actually was said. Tell me where it is. Don’t give me what was “reported”.
You say Joe Paterno knew little boys were being raped and did nothing about it. When was Paterno arrested? Failure to report these rapes is a crime. Did the Grand Jury indict him? Where was he arrested? Did he post bail? You say Paterno KNEW it was being covered up. Tell me how you know what people are thinking.
I will allow that Joe Paterno could have handled this better. My problem is that you come off like you know all the facts and what everyone knew, or was thinking. Could you be wrong? You are calling Paterno guilty. How can you do that?
As I've said before, that guy's behavior upsets me. I don't get it. He saw the most vile act beign done to an innocent child. He should have gone intot he shower, pulled the kid away, and beaten Sandusky's head to a pulp against the tile walls..
I didn't make a big deal of it. I just made a simple correction the post that said he "immediately" reported it. Have a problem with that?
Paterno was brought up in a time when segregation was the norm. He certainly managed to overcome that. You would think that he would have overcome any concerns with talking about child-rapists in his 'family'.
JP made a deal to testify against the others ...
You say Paterno KNEW it was being covered up. Tell me how you know what people are thinking.
Joe knew of the 'incident' in the showers. He knew that there was no police investigation. He knew that Sandusky was free to roam and rape.
From Joe's statement to the press:
“It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the grand jury report,” Paterno said in the statement. “Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky."
JP said he knew of the inappropriate sexual behavior by Sandusky and the ten year old in his locker room and he knew that no one at PSU would hold Sandusky accountable and that Sandusky remained free to roam the locker room and rape ten year olds.
And thus prevented countless rapes of young boys.
From the PA Attorney General:
"The quick action by high school staff members in Clinton County in response to reports of a possible sexual assault by Sandusky is in marked contrast to the reaction of top officials at Penn State University, who had actually received a first-hand report of a sexual attack by Sandusky seven years earlier."
