I don’t understand why so many are immediately blaming the assistant coach/graduate student.
First of all, he most probably went to the police. Of course they don’t have a record - and nobody told them in writing, emails or in words to destroy it. That is not how it works. They were very aware that no permanent record was to be kept.
Second - I’m surprised they didn’t get rid of the witness either by firing him or by arranging a job for him at the University of Venezuela or some distant school. Actually I’m surprised he didn’t look for a job elsewhere.
Re stopping the incident, he said he stopped it. Maybe he hit the fire alarm, maybe he turned the water/lights out. I’m sure his goal was to stop the incident right when it happened. By reporting it to the police he figured he had stopped it permanently.
At 22 years old did you know that police don’t always follow-up on complaints when a high profile or valuable asset individual is involved? It sounds like his father didn’t either.
Correction,
He was 28 at the time. His father is (was) a friend of Sandusky.
Being a Man carries responsibilities that define that state of being. There is no leeway in these fundamental definitions. Human Society over the millenia has defended itself with these definitions, and to release males from them is to commit suicide as a society. One of these responsabilities is to protect the young. McQueary ran. He abandoned a kid in the clutches of a destroyer. It's that simple. He is a male, he no longer has a claim to Manhood. I understand perfectly what he felt when his life was blasted by the vision he happened upon in that locker room, but he was a coward for letting it master him. Men don't run. The responsibilities inherent in Manhood are why the left has always hated the idea of the American Man; a “man's gotta’ do what a man’s gotta’ do” is an immutable force that can't be controlled from a central position.
