Do you Know Why?

3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.

5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.
2nd mile, sandusky, joepa, and campus admin conspired together to pimp out young boys to wealthy pederasts to fund football, and other campus activities.
There that was easy to explain. The rest is just gathering the evidence, mainly by finding the weak link in the conspiracy circle. My top target would be the asst. AD or mcqueary himself (gives hime a path to redemption)
Sounds as though the speculation that Sandusky was operating a pedophile ring financed by donors to his “charity” may indeed be true if those records have been stolen and destroyed.
Everyone involved with this cover up should have their address changed from Penn State to State Pen.
When I saw it was New York Times I almost didn’t read it, but it actually is a pretty good roundup of where the case is now. More will be revealed, I have no doubt.
Three years of records missing?
Who destroyed them?
When were they destroyed?
Does anyone really believe Sandusky destroyed them?
Does anyone really believe he only used Second Mile resources to find boys for only three years?
Missing files?
Then-University counsel Wendell Courtney saying he was never informed of the 1998 investigation? Joe Paterno saying he was never informed of the 1998 investigation?
This image of a relieved McQueary getting a chance to spill his guts to investigators in a remote parking lot about a secret he held for eight years (but shouldn't have held for an hour)?
And this:
“This was not the secret that they are trying to make out now,” one person involved in the inquiry said. “I know there were a number of college coaches that had heard the rumors. If all these people knew about it, how could Sandusky’s superiors not know?”
Quite an article.
The new york times.....always on the alert to flush out homosexual child rapists.
I read the Grand Jury’s report last night. It’s sickening. I’m not sure who knew what when from what the report contained, but it shows that AD Curley is a poor excuse for a human being as well.
This is so bogus----already the cover-up.
As the CIA says---they ALWAYS leave a paper trail. There are other ways to trace this.
Give me five minutes with the books and I'll show you how they did it.
Sandusky adopted the biological son of the DA’s sister.
She was the long-time Philadelphia District Attorney who tried to prevent prosecution of the union goons who beat Don Adams.
“Evidence of a cover-up is starting to be exposed”
Reminds me of peeling an onion. The layers are starting to pull back. I have the feeling this is going to get way more ugly than many of us thought initially.
The article says that Sandusky favored white victims, whereas some previous reports say that most of the victims were black. Either way, they were already victims of the breakdown of the family in this country. There were no fathers around to protect them, or to model good behavior.
Of course there has been a cover up, that’s been obvious from day one.. the question is WHY...
Too many people IMHO had to turn a blind eye for too long for this just to have been a lone wolf thing. I know state college is a small town, and I know all about how things work in such places, but even that cannot explain away how many people HAD to look the other way, for this guy to do what he did. TOO MANY people from too many organizations had to turn a blind eye for it to have simply been “oooh its Sandusky he’s a big fish, don’t question it”.
This guy was taking children from school without parental consent, you have to know you are protected to even attempt such a feat, and you’d have to be protected by powerful people to think you could (and did for likely years) get away with it. Someone (or more importantly MANY SOMEONES) are likely watching your back.
I suspect, that once they start digging they are going to find a whole lot of other powerful folks were having sex with these kids or others, and they have been protecting one another. Sandusky may have been a relatively big fish in State College PA, but he wasnt so big that everyone was going to turn a blind eye to him especially a decade or more after he was let go.
I Believe that PSU knew without question probably before, but certainly no later than 1998/9 when the initial investigation happened that this guy was abusing children. They covered it up to protect the program and the university, and would not be suprised if they knew long before.
I also believe that this scandal will ultimately take out a lot of power folks, who were just active in covering it up, but were active in acts as well. If I am right on this, and I am admitting speculation on this at this point, but my gut tells me this is way bigger than just a single sicko, I guarantee the tentacles will will go into all sorts of entities, school administration, police, business leaders, and yes no doubt current and/or former politicians in Harrisburg and potentially even DC.
I may turn out to be completely wrong on this speculation, but I just don’t believe that he got away with everything he got away with for so long as a simple lone wolf, at least not in the manner of things he’s been accused of doing.
If he were having the boys come to his house or a neutral private location, then certainly could see that going on for years with no one knowing. Taking them from school in the middle of the day? Fooling around with them in Penn State facilities? etc etc etc.. I think there is way way way more goin going on here.
Apologists for Paterno said that was just our unfounded opinion.
Well, here's the NYT (The Paper of Record) not only saying that talking to Paterno at Penn State was like talking to god, but . . . work your way to the third paragraph, the money paragraph:
Paterno, through his son Scott, also said he did not know of the 1998 sex crime investigation of Sandusky, who was then his most prominent and accomplished assistant.
Investigators over the last week have made clear that they have serious doubts about whether so few people in senior positions of responsibility came to know of the 1998 investigation.
“You have to understand those statements in context — there is nothing that happens at State College that Joe Paterno doesn’t know, or that Graham Spanier doesn’t know,” one person involved in the investigation said. “Whether or not a criminal case went forward, there were ample grounds for an administrative inquiry into this matter. I have no evidence that was ever done. And if indeed that report was never passed up, it makes you wonder why not.”
Well. Alrighty then.

Search - Second Mile - PA
((Thanks to abb for posting the search site last week ;))
With JoePa’s tenure at PSU and his great morale character (sarcasm intended) , the university will sadly be known as Pedophile State University.
