All I have is another report, the 2nd, as to how Joe Paterno was informed in the 1970's...cwtcr hokie wrote:all you have is i messed up the placement of the reply, weak sauce dude.BG Hokie wrote:Solid use of the quote function, now your mindless prose is quoted as me having said it.
Joe Paterno continuously employed a man and after he retired gave facility access to a man who was consistently accused of inappropriate actions with boys. He was constantly seen with said boys.
No one is saying he should be the person solely responsible for stopping Sandusky, but he disgustingly did nothing after numerous warning signs.
UVA was set to hire Sandusky and after vetting him move in a different direction (Al Groh). It's pretty obvious what they heard. This wasn't some secret that blew Paterno's mind. He has blood on his hands. It's beyond obvious.
Penn State employed Sandusky and again how would Jo Pa know wether the rumors were true or not. The dude hid it from his entire family and got away with it for over 30 years but Jo Pa was supposed to have known for sure that the dude was a deviant? how?
The use of the facilities was standard practice for all retired faculty, heck my pop still uses the VT facilities and he has been retired for many years now. Again what was Jo Pa supposed to do? Go to the cops and say the guy was messing with children? how was he supposed to prove it. Not sure you have ever dealt with cops but accusations with zero proof usually don't get alot of response from them. Cops have to wait until something happens, just ask wives that are attacked by former husbands, until something concrete happens the cops can do nothing.
I think Sandusky is guilty, it is sad that none of the victims tried to stop the dude, that is called concrete evidence, rumors are not.

Look, I suppose it's possible that Joe Paterno is the dumbest person on Earth and had no reason to suspect Sandusky was a serial molester of little boys. Or you could apply common sense and come to the conclusion that Paterno failed as a human being with respect to his actions (inaction) regarding the Sandusky serial molesting situation.
