Nope, not bashing McQueary. I know what it’s like to witness something or, in my case be a victim, and in the position of remaining quiet for my own well being.

The “higher-ups” seem to be in major CYA mode now.

Why does “CYA” have a double meaning here?

Yeah, and I know someone who testified against a corrupt politician before and grand jury and ended up being harassed for years. I also know people who reported crimes and were threatened for doing so...by the police.

Then you also have to consider that McQ grew up in the same neighborhood as Sandusky; the families knew each other. Sandusky and Paterno were probably heroes, father figures, and role models, so McQ was by all accounts in a state of shock by what he saw. Someone in that state of mind is not at his best. Now people who weren't there and aren't part of the apparently incestuous cult-like culture of PS football are blithely bashing McQ, as if he did nothing at all, and acted out of cowardice. In fact, he seems to have done more than anyone else at PSU, and the grand jury seems to have reached that judgment also.
