The End of an Era: Paterno is Finished

[Vandy Vol]

Do you ever make substantive replies to points, or do you just make irrelevant allegations about non-existent circular statements and what people do with their lives?

[Vandy Vol]

Everything in the indictment is from 2002 and before I think.  Nine years ago.  That's a long time to pass for nothing to happen.

The incident with the very first victim in the indictment occurred in 2007.

Again, I ask...illiteracy?

I typically do both at the same time. 

As for your second dealio, you're right.  This was a kid in Second Mile.  But it didn't blow up and wasn't public until a week or two ago.   Nine years elapsed between (again what we know, not what we assume) knowledge of bad acts.   

Are proposing that Penn State officials were aware of this situation in 2007?   Don't think anybody was.   It's definitely not specified in the indictment as to how they became aware of the situation or what they did during the years it seems it took to investigate.

I do find it somewhat odd that Second Mile events were held at PSU, but the indictment doesn't make clear what Sandusky's role in the Second Mile events at PSU was or if there even was one.

He stayed away from "shoot him in the face" mob mentality. 

I don't think anybody here is taking that stance. I don't think anybody thinks he should even be prosecuted or anything. The only consistant points I have seen are that Joe Pa most certainly deserved to be fired over this whole thing, and the students protesting on his behalf are morons. Most of the conversation was sparked off by you attempting to justify Joe Pa having a hand in covering this whole thing up because it happens every where, everyday, and by your stance that he told his supervisor, so that's where his responsibility ended, because he did "what he was supposed to do".

Joe Pa deserved to be fired. They didn't take this guy's keys to the locker room away for nothing. They didn't tell him to stop bringing young boys to the football facilities for nothing. They didn't force him to resign for nothing. The problem with telling a lie is, you have to keep telling more lies to keep the first lie going. That is exactly what happened here. They knew something was going on, and they decided they didn't want it to tarnish the program. They had to bury it, but at the same time, make sure it didn't happen again. When it came around to kick them in the ass again, well they couldn't let that get out, because everybody would know they covered it up the first time. And so on, and so on. And now we are where we are today.

I am.  Sandusky along with anyone and everyone who knew what happened in 98 and didn't take the appropriate steps to have Sandusky criminally investigated when the same incident occurred again in 2002 should be lined up in the street and shot in the face at close range with a shotgun.  Mike McPussy should have to stand and watch every horrific execution just to get an idea of what is going to happen to his face when the slug hits it.

You never take a stand do you?  Always sitting on the fence.  You're a fence sitter.

Sandusky thinks 10 year old boys do too.

[Vandy Vol]

Sandusky thinks 10 year old boys do too.

But, the more important question is why did he think that?

Because if we don't know why, then I can't judge Sandusky for shoving his erection in children's anuses.

Hmmm. 

Idiot you are.

Given the circumstances, I'm amazed that the Nitany Lions played as well as they did Saturday. In the end though, they came up a little behind.

Nebraska took advantage of the fact that no one at Penn State is taught to defend the skinny post.

Damn dude.  That is fucking full of awesome!!

came up a little behind...

Perhaps the best line ever.  Salute.

Wonder if Paterno gave anythought to the fact that Sandusky's home backed up to an elementary school playground.

Perfect...  Perhaps, they can also shutdown their school or kill all of their sports programs...  Pedifile State University has just earned a reputation that it will NEVER be able to shake.  But, I fear this goes much further.  From this weekend, we've learned that the judge who set his bail at only $100k, while the DA requested $500k, was also a volunteer at the child molester's charity.  And then, we heard from Pedifile State officials who expect that there will be many more witnesses along with many more victims.  Disgusting...

Heard  Heath Evans on Brando today. He said about what I said for most of this. 

Paraphrased :

Everybody talks all bad ass about how they'd confront the guy or go to the authorities. Bullshit. 

Statistics bear it out. 90% of the time when confronted with it in real life people do nothing.  They react out of fear over how they, their organization, their company, their family, their church will be perceived. Self preservation. 

Doesn' make it right, it's just what it is.

While I get that, and it's true from my experience, the difference here is a 6-5 28 year old man witnessed it happening live, and walked away.  He could have beat the shit out of Sandusky, saved the child, and they could have still covered it all up.  It's his reaction at that time that baffles me.  At the very least barge in and say "Hey coach, what's up, did you mean to have your penis in that kids bung hole or did he just slip and fall on it?" and put a stop to that incident.
