For some reason...which I don't know for the life of me...you have seemed to pre-conclude that facts derived from actual testimony made before a Grand Jury aren't "facts."
If you would but bother to look at the Grand Jury Presentment you would only have to skip past a one-paragraph "Introduction" before coming to the section headlined, "Findings of Fact."
A Grand Jury's role includes determining if there is enough individual culpability to move forward toward indicting him or her. Otherwise, why bother having people testify under oath?
Some people, like Joe Paterno, upon testifying -- leave no doubt as to their sins of omission -- their moral and unethical culpability. They may be able to cover their legal butt to avoid jail time...
...all the while provoking a public verdict that wishes there was a greater punishment somewhere between losing-your-job and jail time to inflict upon you...
...as recompense for the pain and degradation these coaches enabled in their community.
How many homosexuals will this generate due to moral lapses from people who have rec'd Penn State paychecks in the past/present?
Joe Paterno was an degradating enabler. Get over it.
I'm done with this thread.
That’s great, and I don’t think anyone disagrees that JoePa had serious moral and ethical lapses by letting things continue unchallenged after 2002. Everyone is allowed from here forward to excoriate and write scathing polemics ad infinitum with pious indignation, high pontification, and extreme prejudice till they feel all warm and fuzzy inside and can walk away on the righteous high road.
But that’s not good enough for me dude. JoePa is gone. Fired. Disgraced, his reputation destroyed to the grave as the dirtiest SOB from all of Satan’s spawn. He’s probably open to a lawsuit but his butt is criminally covered. There isn’t more flesh we can really take from him. I’m not interested in moral indignation, I want justice and ALL those involved in this cover up jailed.
Mike Madden said long before his broke that this is a sex ring for the rich and powerful. If that is true the JoePa is a bit player in all this, and if we keep putting the spotlight on him so that we can feel all righteous, then the true evildoers are going to scurry away into the darkness TO CONTINUE THEIR EVIL FILTH.
Everyone needs to quit feeding off their emotions and think about the kids and the fact that they deserve to get the crimes against them avenged, as well as stopping future ones.
