You gotta watch those pronouns. Sounds like your son was fired and then you threatened him. :-)
In spite of those who undoubtedly will use the news as an opportunity for chest pounding displays of self righteousness.
I’m trying to feel bad. I’ll have to get back to you.
See I was hoping he'd be torn to pieces by a mob of the victims and parents of the victims of the monster pedophile Paterno spent decades enabling and protecting.
Maybe that's just me.
My Great Grandmother use to tell us that there are times in life when rising above condemnation pleased God in a special way. Not sure if she was right or not but I think this is definitely one of those times.
As certain as anyone can be with the veil of secrecy which a former Centre County District Attorney was possibly about to pierce before he mysteriously disappeared a couple of years ago. Body found hundreds of miles away.
While I question his judgement concerning Sanduski, that is between him and G*d. I pray that he is at peace.

LOL it does indeed.
The man lead a long and good life. The comments made bye the self righteous, sanctimonious people here are nauseating.

Why is that factoid not getting press, or did it and I missed it. Did they ever find the killer and a motive?
Had he even a tiny shred of decency, he would have either made sure Sandusky never had access to the kids from The Second Mile again, or if unable to do so resigned from the board of directors there of.
Your pretentiousness is an insufficient cover for Paterno.
I hate that he may dodge wheel of earthly justice by escaping the slow moving grindstone.
Oh well.
God will make all things right.

Iconic nasty. How very pagan of you.
No killer found, no motive made public.
The powers that be have been in denial mode that there is any connection, but there wouldn’t be many links in the chain between a well connected “wealthy donor” and a hitman.

“Body found hundreds of miles away.”
Gricar was declared legally dead last year, but his body was never found. Have you heard differently ?
Yes he will. For all of us.
When it was reported he was suffering from lung cancer, they also stated it was non-life threatening and treatable-what a bunch of nonsense!
