Joe Paterno SHOULD have done more. He didn’t. He isn’t the monster in this story. He is THE person who could have stopped the monster. He didn’t. EVERYONE and ANYONE who knew about the fiend Sandusky and did nothing to stop him is responsible.
The take away quote from the trial from the lead prosecutor was the question: “How many naked boys does a man have to shower with before someone starts asking a few questions?”. The jury surely decided his guilt at that very moment.
They are ALL monsters.
