i don't understand how people do that. it literally makes no sense to me.

slvemike4u -> RE: Penn State (11/9/2011 7:26:02 AM)
It,unfortunately,is all too common.

Sandusky has ( if this is all true) a special place in hell reserved for him.....but he doesn't go there alone. You have mail, mike

Joe Pa and Spanier have been fired.

Sad but so Paterno put his career above those children...He deserves the same punishment as the abuser in my opinion. Butch

I find it odd that the graduate student who actually witnessed the incident seems to be off everyone's radar. If there is enough jail time to go around he certainly is a candidate for some of it.

Simple solution to Sandusky and the lot of them? 1. Line them up 2. Castrate the b***ards

tazzygirl -> RE: Penn State (11/10/2011 4:50:43 AM)
Im of the same mind, Fire. Sorry... he was witnessing a felony... he witnessed the abuse of a child... and did nothing to protect that child.

servantforuse -> RE: Penn State (11/10/2011 5:04:55 AM)
Joe Paterno was told he was fired by a phone call. He apparently asked why it couldn't wait until after the season was over. He still doesn't get it..

LillyBoPeep -> RE: Penn State (11/10/2011 5:05:42 AM)
good lord, dude... you can still see where his priorities are. "but... but... football!!"

tazzygirl -> RE: Penn State (11/10/2011 5:46:55 AM)
I thought it stopped at the school. Unfortunately, it did not. Seems a DA was informed in 1998, but nothing came of the investigation

DarkSteven -> RE: Penn State (11/10/2011 6:00:36 AM)
Wow. Paterno's getting fired makes more waves than the President getting fired. That's just wrong. Prior to his firing, Paterno issued a statement saying he was "absolutely devastated by the developments" involving the former assistant football coach and two university officials. "I grieve for the children and their families, and I pray for their comfort and relief," Paterno said. "With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more." And that's as close to an apology that the bastard will give.

If I saw what he allegedly saw I would not turn around and run, go call daddy. I would blast into that room and find something extremely heavy and beat the motherfucker senseless, get that kid where he felt as safe as possible and THEN call 911. I would not quietly walk away and call daddy to ask......"what should I do?". That is just too fucked up for words.

tazzygirl -> RE: Penn State (11/10/2011 6:38:10 AM)
he was 28 at the time. Mc Queary is the red head seen on the side lines during the games. He played football there, went to school there, and is obviously a big man. He stated he saw what he saw... but did nothing to stop it. Thats a felony. Here is what is pissing me off with the whole deal. Paterno was seen as a Saint and a hero. One phone call to any number of police or political offices would have ensured investigations...and nothing was done. The indictment... http://www.freep.com/article/20111110/NEWS07/111100541 The story on McQueary... http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11313/1188543-298.stm

He witnessed the incident first hand and did not attempt to stop it and did not call the police immediately. On top of that, he waited until the next day to tell Paterno. If we're going to assign blame in this sad chain of events this person is definitely part of it. A big part.

quote: Paterno was seen as a Saint and a hero. Still is. There's been rioting in State College by the students demanding the reinstatement of Paterno. They overturned a news van, knocked down street lights and police had to disperse them last night with tear gas and pepper spray. Really...football is a religion in that part of the state and Paterno is their God.
