Someone is lying

[ColdOne]

I do not believe this email.

[GeronL]

This is getting weird.

Can we get real cops involved in this, maybe the FBI?

“Representatives of Penn State’s campus police and State College police said Wednesday they have no record...”

Yeah, I bet that one went down the Memory Hole in a flash.

I hope that one of the outcomes of this investigation is the disbanding of every University and College Police Department.

With the Federal mandate to make crime stats public University PD’s are under tremendous pressure to avoid taking reports so that their public stats look “good” to prospective students and their parents.

Frankly, they cannot be trusted to do their job.

By allowing McQueery to be destroyed in the media, the idiots who run the state of Pennsylvania are going to watch Sandusky walk.

[WKUHilltopper]

So how is it the DA had info on it since 98 and more reports later on that went investigated?? Not to mention the DA went missing in 05.

It is now known that both the campus cops, and the local cops were under orders to shut the f*** up. So who told them?

[Shannon]

Anyone else catch this from the article?
"No one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds," McQueary said.

Exactly what is he saying here? Is he saying he watched a child being raped for 30 - 45 seconds? What else could he mean?

[bigbob]

Wow, the cops must be pissed about his statement to have gone public with a denial like this so soon. They could have just stayed quiet.

Representatives of Penn State's campus police and State College police said Wednesday they have no record of having received any report from a Penn State assistant football coach about his having witnessed an alleged rape of a boy by former coach Jerry Sandusky.

Here are some possibilities:

1. The coach never called;
2. The coach called but the police simply did not write a report.
3. The police are lying about not getting a call;
4. The cops took a report and didn't follow up;
5. The cops took a report and decided to put it in the round file (i.e. cover it up).

I could believe any of these posibilities.

What is clear is the assistant coach told Paterno.

"No one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds," McQueary said. "Trust me."

"Trust me" -- one of the most mis-used phrases to come into popular usage. No one who is really trustWORTHY needs to utter this expression -- it's only used in contexts where people are begging others to accept what is said on blind faith.

McQueary may or may not have believed that it was "enough" to report what he saw to Paterno, but it was NOT enough. Everyone associated with that incident failed the child, failed all of the other victims and potential victims, and failed our society.

[TalBlack]

“No one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds,”

For the sake of the little boy you abandoned to a monster a HELL of a lot of people wish they had been in your shoes that day, you coward.

[Scotswife]

Is McQueary intentionally trying to discredit himself as a witness?
