"If the findings are that Joe is culpable then fry his butt.We do live in a society that we have to be proven guilty."

Our legal system requires proof of guilt. Our society (at least the moral parts of it) allow for judgment based on personal conviction. I would not allow somebody I knew, or merely suspected was a chronic drinker or drug user to look after my house or my dog, even though they had never been convicted of possession, DUI, public intoxication, etc.

Keep in mind, Sandusky hasn't yet been convicted of anything. Would you allow him to watch your kids, or have you already formed a judgment?

To: Joe 6-pack

already made that mistake once. I have never met Joe and he wouldnt know me from Adam but he’s taking the full brunt of this without proof he did anything wrong. I know my mom at 79 years old can’t remember yesterday. I will wait to castigate these folks until after I listen to the trial testimony.

I am surprised they are letting him coach Saturday. This is a nightmare for so many people. The kids and their families are going to have to go through it again. My prayers are with them and their families. I also pray for the student body. Paterno is like family to everyone in State College. He has sunk 4 million of his own money into the school in endowments. I am going to cut him some slack until I hear the testimony. Not in a rush to judgement. If I don’t like what I hear I will jump on the bandwagon without breaking any ankles. Not an Alum and I have no dogs in this race.
