Paterno's fault. If he had stood and and said and done the right thing but he did not. The gall of the old guy. The first thing he said to the media was "If these charges are true". Good God. He knows they are true. He has agreed to testify against them.
And his 'pep rally' last night. It was all about him. He was smiling, laughing talking about how great life was. He is in the spotlight because of who he is and how he acts. As I said last night, 'I don't think his mind works right anymore.'
Wrong newby. You treat Paterno as if he has god-like powers. I think that’s fantasy. I doubt he even knew about most of what was going on. In fact nobody knew because 4 of the 8 victims were never witnessed by anyone, one was never reported, one was completely off campus, and one wasn’t witnessed but reported by the mother after the fact based on indirect evidence, and then dismissed by the police and DA.
You can gut Joe open and burn him at the altar in some kind of turd world scapegoating, but the bottom line is that whatever Joe did, his superiors, the DA, and the police were 10X worse. Yet you want to keep the Alinsky-like focus on JoePa for some kind of cathartic bloodfest. Keep doing that and the bigger fish you listed will get away.
