I was surprised to not see a topic about this yet so I thought I would get some discussion going. Here is an article that sums up the general overview of the case.
What does everyone think about this? I would post this in the NCAA football thread but this is much bigger than sports.
I honestly cant believe how incredibly messed up this situation is in so many different facets. How did this disgusting and piece of shit pedo get away with this for over 15 years? How come people in the university tried to cover it up and not make it as bad as it seems? Why didn’t Joe Paterno come out more vocally about this?
All I know is I feel terrible for the victims in this case and Jerry Sandusky is one of the most pitiful pieces of scum there is on this planet.
as i said in the college football thread, i am disgusted by this whole thing.
cant really understand how people knew about dude being a pedo rapist, and still let the guy around the university. nor do i understand how the police werent called. as far as im concerned, anyone with knowledge should be losing their jobs asap.
they knew enough to tell the fucker that he couldnt bring kids with him to the football facility. like what the fuck?
how do you see a guy raping a kid with your own 2 eyes, and look at said shit head for an additional 12 yrs without asking how he isnt in jail?
This is exactly what I was thinking. Its like ok cool you reported the pedo… but isn’t it strange how you haven’t heard anything about his ass being thrown into prison? That doesn’t come off as weird to you? Total fucktard.
Well we know what Jerry’s life will be like for the next year. Being ridiculed everywhere he goes by the public (serves the bitch right), get thrown into prison and beaten to death fairly quickly, and if your religous he will suffer eternally in a place that infinitely worse than what he did to those innocent kids at the time.
I, like so many other educated and intelligent Canadians, represent a veritable beacon of elevated literacy, and I manage to make an ass of myself all the time!
His story is he reported it to his superiors when he found out years ago. Then they asked why was he still around the program if he was guilty of wrong doing in Paterno’s eyes.
Bullshit period, he should have said he didn’t know anything about it or no comment.
But then the question becomes what is “it” to Paterno, or the others involved? Right now we know lots of details/insinuations, but perhaps Joe Pa simply heard “he gave a kid unauthorized access to the locker room and let him take a shower.” Until it’s known what Paterno thought was going on at the time then I don’t see what reason there is to condemn him.
