Oh now I get it. You are trolling. At first I thought you where serious, but now I see this whole time you where joking. I didn’t catch it at first because it wasn’t funny.
Huh? The kid got help. What don’t you get?
if you honestly don’t think Paterno is part of some coverup or had the desire to keep this matter from becoming public then you’re delusional. it aint rocket science
yeah, youre right too. no way that childs life is fucked up forever. he will have perfectly normal relationships with everyone, and have awesome self esteem, after all that one old man wanted him. joes a hero. only 6 more kids got raped/molested, and PSU is like 8-1. good shit joe pa
/more sarcasm
Its not passing responsibility, its simply called DOING YOUR FUCKING JOB which is what he was expecting the AD and the PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL to do.
If i’m put in charge of a university and a coach comes to me with the same story Paterno told, you best believe i will act on it because THATS what i was put in power to do.
Did Joe rape them? No. My god you people are stupid. You make it sound like Paterno directly raped kids on a regular basis and is the worse than Hitler. He did what he could and sometimes the law doesn’t work in your favor or save the good guys
And the utter bullshit in all this is that Mcqueary is still on the team and Paterno is off even though Mcqueary should have reported it as well…WTF!!!
AD and school president are not the fucking state police or FBI. he could have told his priest or prayed to jesus for all i care. he didnt call the police
if the assistant told him he was getting stabbed or his house was on fire, joe is supposed to simply report it to a superior and hope everything turns out ok there too, huh.
yeah, i dont get that part. he really needs to be fired as well.
the cops. remember.
I didn’t really catch the details of this whole situation until yesterday when I was driving home from work. I literally almost couldn’t breathe I was so flabbergasted by the whole situation. Really, Penn State? REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY? You mean to tell me that your football programs is just SOOOOOOO precious that you would try and sweep MULTIPLE COUNTS OF CHILD RAPE under the rug? I…I just can’t wrap my mind around how…completely reprehensible everyone involved in this situation is. Every single one of them should be held liable for this in at least the civil suit that will inevitably be filed. McQueary and the University President should probably be brought up on Obstruction charges as well. Unacceptable doesn’t even begin to convey the magnitude of my feelings on the matter. The fact that someone could even CONSIDER, CONFRIGGINSIDER trying to cover this up is…ugh.
My thoughts on each of the people involved:
Sandusky: There are no words for this man. Imagine any sort of inhumane, terrifyingly disgusting heinous torture you could ever devise and it still wouldn’t be enough.
McQueary: SCENARIO: You witness someone raping a 10 year old kid. There are only two acceptable courses of action in this situation (preferably both)
- Contact the authorities immediately.
- Burst into that room like the Fist of the North Star and proceed to physically assault the scum until its battered and broken form is barely recognizable as a human being.
You failed HARD, son.
Joe Paterno: You dun goofed to man. I don’t know how you could stand to even be around a man that by all indications you at least had an idea of the things he was doing. Not QUITE as liable as McQueary because you didn’t personally witness the situation, but the minute I heard about that were I in his position that man would never step foot on Penn State’s campus again. You RUN that show man. Step up.
…I don’t know what to think about humanity any more. The fact that these sorts of things can be perpetrated just make me quiver with rage, and seriously makes me reconsider if I want to bring children into this world. Or at the very least, if I’ll ever be able to truly trust anyone with their well being. Absolutely ridiculous, this whole situation.
Anyone took a glimpse of the grand jury report. This dude is fucked up and needs to be sent to prison for life.
Yeah, you’re an idiot. If you’re being stabbed then yes, you should call the police and if your house is on fire then call the fire department. You just made the worst example i’ve ever seen in my entire life. Paterno was given vague details about some wrong doing in the locker room and he reported it to the higher ups. He probably couldn’t even imagine it was child rape and even if he knew, there’s not much he personally can do except file a report. Paterno should not have been fired and should be getting ready for the game on saturday but, like I said, the university needs a fall guy and he was all they had
For emphasis.
Still a false argument. Nobody is demonizing him on the level of an actual pedophile. Well, I’m sure there are some people, but there’s no reason to concern yourself with random fringe nobodies anyway. At most, people are countering the argument that he’s completely justified just by waiting a day and telling his boss about it.
The only reason you care is because of Paterno’s name. Anybody in any company in America in his position would be gone. People get fired every day for far, far less. He just happens to be a very well known football coach.
youre doing an awful lot of “what if” thinking for joe there arent you
and yes child rape is just as serious as a fire or a murder. as youve demonstrated over and over in your posts, you dont quite understand that fact
my bad
Think you may want to keep up with the news. Its getting really ugly. Not starting a argument cause ive said my points an feelings and the more that comes out the uglier it is. Especially the grand jury thing. Oh JOE PA knew a kid was getting sodomized in a shower… it was told to him. I said everyone needs to be fired and the person that did it definitely needs to get his. Yet again bro you may want to keep up wit the latest news yo… its bad and other coaches are in disbelief right now.
“I shouldve done more” - Joe Paterno
There is a big argument about this?
Where is Boel? Boel, don’t get diddled.
Joe Pa too busy getting left 20 years behind in football to report kids gettin’ diddled.
You were making examples of scenarios where you could easily call the cops and have them help you because the event is happening as your on the phone. Paterno didn’t witness the child rape and if he did, i’m sure he would have called the police but he didn’t see it and all he got was some flimsy, vague, eye witness who said he saw “things”. He did what he had to do and he did the right thing
do you REALLY think Paterno was given vague details? the graduate assistant was so shaken up that he called his father immediately after witnessing it and called Paterno right after and saw him the very next morning. do you think at that meeting the graduate assistant decided to suddenly just be vague to Paterno about what he saw? Paterno is just protecting himself by stating that the grad assistant wasn’t clear, that’s bullshit. it just doesnt add up otherwise geez
Oh no, Boel!
Sorry, I have a zero tolerance policy for pedophiles and the people who know what these scumbags are doing and don’t do everything in their power to stop them.
I honestly don’t care if they are a “legendary” coach or not.
As a decent human being, it’s your job to call the police on a pedophile. End of story to me.
When I was a teenager, I was chilling at my homeboy’s house. My homeboy’s little brother and his friend ran home from school a few blocks away and tells us of this story of a nasty old man who just opened his car door and started jerking off in his car exposing himself to my homeboy’s little brother and his friend. These kids were in 6th grade at the time I think.
I was maybe 15 at the time, but even at that age we had the common sense to have my homeboys sister call the police and tell them what happend. While they where on the phone me and my homeboy took our baseball bats and rode out on our bikes to look for the pervert and try to beat him to death or at least smash his car up. We lived a few blocks from the school and knew kids from the neighborhood that went to this school. If this perv was still around we probably would have literally tried to kill him. When didn’t find him and when we got back to the house and the police where already there. We told the police what we saw and they questioned us about the bats and then got a lecture about how being a vigilante is not something we should do and to be left to the police to handle.
The last people who where notified? My homeboy’s parents because they where at work.
At 15 I was able to do the right thing. I would expect any decent person to at the least go to the police.
