Hyper-reactions and emotionalism make for horrifyingly bad law, precedent, and history. [teacher317]

Which is exactly HOW this pedofile was enabled by Paterno and PSU. Did you or did you NOT read the grand jury report? [rintense]

Imagine that. If a Grand Jury acting almost 9 years after the fact...and the Attorney General's office acting a full 9 years after the fact constitutes "hyper-rectionism"...wow! we're in a heap of more trouble than I thought in this country.

Perhaps the slow - burner -- oh, say, a century or so -- is how you would have preferred all the legal folks to have handled these issues to avoid any accusations by you of hyper-reactionism?

Teacher, What did you want the boy total to reach, btw, before the school and the public reacted?

Don’t be obtuse. The hyper-reactionism is from the posters here. The fact that the report comes nine years after the events (one of the explicit reasons we have a statute of limitations... Memories fade, witnesses die, etc) is another reason we should be SLOW in our reactions, not accelerating. I have no idea when the investigations into the rapist began.... But we’re talking about the admins here. It seems that for most posting here, the investigation began with this mornings breaking news.
