“Joe was told a week later. there is nothing to break up or stop.”
Really? How about years and years of the serial rapes of children?
“should he have gone into Sandusky’s office with a baseball bat?”
No, he should have done whatever it took to get to the truth of the matter, and he should not have given up until he had proved or disproved the allegations.
“the only one at fault were those that hired Sandusky, Sandusky himself, and those homosexuals that were in his inner circle participating in the ‘pimping’”
I can’t believe you really think that. If I’m ever getting stomped by a gang (after I’ve expended all my ammunition, of course) I hope you’re not the sole passer-by. I would much prefer someone who would at least dial 911.
McQueary should have dialed 911, stopped the rape, and held both the loathsome pervert and his victim for the police. It could be determined at the hospital whether the boy had been raped, and McQueary could have told the police who did it.
Everybody who knew about it and failed to stop it is an accomplice.
using your analogy, mcqueary would be the solo-passerby and i would be the guy living in the condo complex he told the following day (i have since learned the time-line that showed Joe was told the following day, not week, and then he contacted his superior, the athletic director).
i called the supervisor of the complex and explained what i heard but did not witness. their job would be to contact local police and report it (as an fyi, if they did and you didn’t also report... the cops would do nothing)
what more would you like me to do? the gang members live in our complex and i’ve contacted the front office. as i haven’t witnessed the event, the event is over, and i’m a mid 60s football coach... not kojak... what more should i do? get a gun, find the gang and start shooting? that’s a non starter. maybe i should evict them from their condo... except i don’t have that power, since i’m not the supervisor of the complex. maybe i should go around to the other condos and try to rally people against the gang... except we’ve been told for years that the ‘gang lifestyle’ is not to be harassed.
face it... Joe Paterno is the public face of Penn State and you’re working off emotion. odds are good he stomped your football team and you’d like some payback. classy.
