No you didn’t get it — try again
The truth will come out. People should be more disgusted with the actions of the state of Pennsylvania than anything Joe Paterno ever did or didn’t do.
You misconstrued what I posted.
Free Republic has a lot of LIPs — Low Information Posters
Many of these LIPs don’t comprehend that the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare [DPW] investigated Sandusky in 1998 and chose not to prosecute.
DPW got involved back then because they were contacted by a mandated reporter who had first hand evidence and follow-up evidence from LE, but DPW closed the case.
And we are all supposed to believe that DPW, if notified in 2001, would have come to the rescue and saved the day.
The media, freeh, and the ncaa miscalculated with Joe as well - not counting on 650K living alumni that are well funded, active, and very capable of taking them on.
Joe wasn’t a saint. He’d be the first to say so. He was a football coach that made his kids go to class.
I just did, so your 0% is wrong. In reading it, I learned some facts about the story I had never heard before.
Can the hyped up leftist media along with corrupt prosecutors create a false narrative? Ask George Zimmerman.
Your post shows that you have followed the mainstream media narritive. However that narrative is not what actually happened.
When was that "conclusively proven."
Good for you, you win, we the non-readers, the bored, the naysayers lose! Speaking of ‘false narratives’ what do you call the author’s list of bets he would make on the percentages of his “chances”.
Yeh -- he found out in 2012 what went on in 2001. That's called "hindsight".
Sandusky was eventually banned from the facilities and JoePa didn’t know what had happened?
First of all Sandusky was not banned from the facilities. He was forbidden from bringing any of his TSM kids into the facilities with him anymore.
But think about what you just said: Joe didn't see Sandusky bringing his kids into the facilities anymore. If you are Paterno, what would you conclude from that??? Would you not conclude from that that the higher-ups had addressed the Sandusky matter and dealt with him and handed out sanctions???
So where is the conspiracy to cover up???
I guess we'll have to see how they play out. We should know in the trial of the administrators soon enough, but it does seem that the state has no smoking gun on the cover-up charges, and none of the accused have offered to plea bargain in exchange for implicating the others, so right now it does not look too good for the state's case.
You do understand that Sandusky’s in a supermax prison doing 60 years on 45 counts of sexual abuse on young boys, right?
What the heck is wrong with you?
You do understand that Sandusky abused those boys — not Paterno and not anybody else.
What the heck is wrong with you?
That Sandusky WAS the coach responsible for giving PSU the nick name "linebacker U" eludes them. That Paterno avoided judgment on this man and what he was doing several times during his tenure eludes them.
That the best you can say in this matter is Paterno failed to act as he should have WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING eludes them. To realize that he could have done more is THE BEST FACE YOU CAN PUT ON HOW HE REACTED eludes them.
That Occam's razor would point most anyone to the conclusion that the man likely ignored the facts, never followed up on horrendous accusations, and protected his program rather than blow the whistle on his right hand man while young men were being savaged is beyond them.
Talk about sick......
You are aware that js was a retired coach in 2001, right?
Sandusky was not employed by the university when this incident occurred. He had been retired for 3 years. But please don't let that stop your prefabrications.
Paterno avoided judgment on this man and what he was doing several times during his tenure eludes them.
That's not true either as Paterno told Sandusky in 1997 that he would never be head coach and that's when he decided to retire.
That the best you can say in this matter is Paterno failed to act as he should have WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING eludes them.
So now you are accusing Paterno of sitting in his office while Sandusky was in the shower molesting young boys
To realize that he could have done more is THE BEST FACE YOU CAN PUT ON HOW HE REACTED eludes them.
You can't even get that quote right.
That Occam's razor would point most anyone to the conclusion that the man likely ignored the facts
That's what can be concluded about you and this post of yours is evidence of that ...
Talk about sick.
Thank you for posting this.
The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing . . .IMHO the reason FR is so addictive is that we all feel the need to pool our “incredulity” in order to avoid giving credit to stories which we will afterward be ashamed and astonished that we could possibly think of believing.It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity,
and they very seldom teach it enough. - Adam SmithAnd when it comes to identifying these “stories,” IMHO the fact that the propaganda media are selling is a pretty good reason to be cautious about buying. As you say, we have the Zimmerman persecution as a lively current example. There was the Duke Lacrosse “rape” hoax, and there was the Tawana Brawley hoax, and so forth and so on.
Thanks for the kind, and intelligent reply. Adam Smith is a hero of mine and I had never seen that quote before. Thanks for that as well.
As for Joe, he’s X and O’ing with the Bear in Heaven right now. He lived a life that collectively his detractors could never approach. That is their real problem. His toppling makes them feel better about themselves.
