Say it ain’t so Joe.
How on Earth could you send money to defend this child rapist...unless you thought Sandusky was innocent. The testimony of victims and witnesses is crushing. A preponderance of direct evidence leaves no doubt. These alumni are misguided, Sandusky is not worth charity dollars that should go to help the victims and kids rather than that child rapist.
Talk of dropping football at Penn State. Incredible. Sins of the father are visited upon the children.
My question for Joe Paterno is: Hey Joe, if you had known that Sandusky raped a 10 year old in the shower in 2002, directly from an eyewitness, how could you sit down with this man face to face and work with him for 9 more years? How could you sit in the same room with him? Have him in your office for conversations? How could you eat meals, or have your family interact with this rapist? What did you think when you saw him? What was going through your mind? Joe - I am sorry but this makes you an accessory to his crimes. You carry guilt, the guilt of silence. You could have saved children from this nightmare that will haunt them for their remaining days, but you elected to win football games.
Say it ain’t so Joe.
You are finished.
Question to Joe. Knowing in 1998 (or possibly earlier) that Sandusky was molesting little boys in your locker room, why did you keep him on your staff? Why did you keep him on your staff after he retired in 1999. Why did you refer to him as 'like a son' when he retired?
He is. He just doesn’t get it.
His statements on the record are odd. Almost like he has only a limited vocabulary and can talk only about the school, the team, and the game. Maybe he is blocking it out, but it sounds like he is not all there.
Joe knew Sandusky liked to play hide the sauage with little young boys long before he was caught in the act.
