no, i just don't trash the guy as nobody ever proved he had actual knowledge of the guys activities. And I see that Sandusky was able to do his stuff for over 30+ years and even run a kids camp thing..... so apparantly the entire town that surrounds PSU were in on the deal. IF we take the jo pa theory to its logical next step.[/quote]
Did you read the article linked in orig post?
The whole community (my uncle in law included) was not told; however, JoePa was told back in 1076. Joe knew.
Say it with me, "JoePa knew", and then say "ahhh now I get it"

he knew the rumors or Sandusky sat down with him and admitted everything he had done by 1976? Again, if somebody comes to you as a private citizen and says your co-worker and friend is a big criminal what are you going to do with that knowledge, citizen arrest?
That is my point you all are missing,, jo pa was not a cop, prosecutor or judge so no idea how he would "stop" Sandusky. Yes he could fire the guy, of course keep in mind that Sandusky was not arrested until what 2013? So what grounds does he have to fire him over, an accusation. And of course if he fires him in 1976 since it was only an accusation and the guy was NEVER arrested until over 20 years later you think Sandusky would have stopped what he was doing or got prosecuted any sooner?
I just don't blame jo pa is all, i blame the criminal and the early victims for not coming forward and persuing a case, a criminal act was committed against them and they had an obligation to persue justice.... then that stops the criminal, doing nothing only lets the person do more crimes.[/quote]

it is hilarious in all yours and Beegees snarky responses you both continue to say exactly how Jo Pa was supposed to stop Sandusky as a private citizen. Was jo pa standing their as he committed his criminal acts???? doubt it. AND AGAIN, YOU ARE TOLD YOUR CO-WORKER, FRIEND, RELATIVE IS COMMITTING CRIMINAL ACTS, you have no idea if it is true or not...WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STOP THE PERSON???
its a simple question, sorry it is so hard for you guys
next snarky response expected, great conversation[/quote]
Sandusky was not a co-worker, he was employed by JoePa. JoePa should have removed him from his coaching staff. He has more than one report of child abuse. One is probably enough. But multiple indicators is more than enough.
What happens afterward with Sandusky is irrelevant. JoePa was responsible for his players, and he failed them miserably.[/quote]
actually he was employed by the state of PA i would assume. Remove him for an accusation, the guy was not arrested until 2013 at which point he had been removed from the staff long before that and had access to PSU facilities same as any other retired school employee. but i ask again, what are you doing to stop your co-worker, friend or relative if someone makes an accusation against them and the cops are not arresting the person?
