You’re welcome :)
I’m a married woman with four kids. My husband and I attended and met at Penn State back in the 1980’s. We are saddened about this entire thing. No blinders on here.
The media focus is on Paterno and he’s being scapegoated. I’ve read everything there is to read about this case/situation. I think it’s sad and dispicable what the media is doing to Paterno. The students at University Park know this is media driven and they are fighting against it. As I sit here listening to and watching the reporters about the “riot” and how “uncomfortable it is for police and reporters” I can’t help rolling my eyes and gagging. Pennn State is probably one of the best places to attend college and this “riot” is anything but. The talking heads commenting on how difficult is is for reporters crack me up. The students are rebelling against and are angry with the liberal media. I’m on their side.
A grad assistant goes by the locker room on a Friday night to drop off some shoes. When he gets there, he notices that the lights are on in the shower room and that the shower is running. Over the sound of the shower, he hears a rhythmic slapping noise as if sexual activity is occurring. Note that he heard this from outside the shower room over the sound of a running shower.
He steps in the shower room and sees a naked Sandusky pounding away on a ten-year-old child from behind. The child is bent over with both hands against the wall as Sandusky continues to make that slap slap slapping sound as his groin beats against the child's buttocks.
The graduate assistant visits Paterno at his home the following morning and recounts to him exactly what he had seen and heard. He was quite explicit in letting Paterno know that Sandusky was anally raping that boy.
So what does Paterno do? He sits on it for 24 hours. The next day, he calls the AD and gives him a different account of what occurred than the one he received from the graduate assistant.
Scapegoat? Not in a million years. Paterno should spend his remaining years in prison. Now explain that one to your four kids and ask them if they think Paterno is a scapegoat.
Read the Grand Jury report.
Clearly, you have been brainwashed by Penn State.
