When you start posting threads idolizing Barney Frank and Gerry Studds I will be right there challenging you.

As JoePa used to say about child molesters ...

“I have other things to do.”

as he didn’t run the department, he informed his supervisor, who ejected sandusky from returning. the supervisor also informed police.

What a stupid statement. Paterno didn't run the department? This is Joe Paterno. This is Penn State. Paterno was the department. Paterno could have had his supervisor fired.

“Of course suspending the coach was not an option, since Sandusky had long since left the coaching staff.”

The first was an option but JoePa had other things to do.

Notice the troll is "TexasGator".
Might just as well have been "FloridaLonghorn".
I suspect JoePa's worst transgression to the troll was 40 years of honest collegiate gridiron success.
How very liberal of TexasGator to hate the achievers.
It matters little that JoePa also was an exemplary individual extolling virtues for 40+ years in the public eye and totally followed the letter of the law when he became aware of the Sanducky problem.
The troll tacitly admitted that he pushed willful ignorance when I called him out and then tried to spin it, like a pissant.

MM went to his father who went to two other people that ‘didn’t want to get their hands dirty’ on this then he went to JoePa for help only to find out that JoePa “had other things to do”.

“Totally following the law” in this case meant helping a serial child predator obtain emeritus status and access to JoePa’s showers to molest boys again and again.

Do you actually know what the heck you're talking about now? Sandusky left in 1999 so how could Paterno suspend somebody who no longer worked for PS?

You're not only rambling now but you're making a total knucklehead of yourself with your ridiculous arguments..........Sheesh!

What a waste of time in arguing with you. Some people are so anal retentive that they just have to hate something and unfortunately you're one of those pathetic people...........

In an ABC interview JP explains why he didn’t do more:


“You know, he didn’t want to get specific. And to be frank with you I don’t know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man,” Paterno said.


WTF! Can you believe that!

DUH ... that was not the first option. That was the second option.

You are losing it. Much like JP lost it somewhere in the 90’s.

JP was on the staff for 62 years. I am glad that you acknowledge that the last 20 were not exemplary.

“Sandusky left in 1999”

He didn’t leave in 1999. He was given emeritus status even though he didn’t rate it and was given the keys to JoePa’s showers and allowed to molest boys for another decade.

Only with his indictment did he have to turn in his keys.

1. JS was accused. Joe cut JS out of the FB program even before investigation got rolling.
2. Ridge was gov. Local cops investigate. DA nixes charges. Rendell becomes gov. New county DA elected. New DA opens new JS investigation. New DA disappears. Nothing to see here. Move along. New DA drops old DA’s probe.
3. PSU prexy Spanier gives JS the OK to fundraise on campus and hold FB camps there. Trustees of PSU admin and JS’s charity both tell JS carry on.
4. JoePa finds JS in the FB building. Throws JS out and warns him to never go in FB building.
5. JoePa tells Spanier. Spanier tells JoePa that he and trustees will tell whoever where they can go, figuratively and literally.
6. Spanier starts asking when JoePa will retire. Starts undermining JoePa. Local and state media write JoePa’s washed up stories.
7. FB asst coach tells JoePa he saw JS showering with a minor male in the FB building.
8. JoePa blows a gasket at Spanier. He fired JS 10 years ago and Spanier has been playing with fire.
9. Spanier tells JoePa to go with university protocol to tell his tale to the VP. No action taken.
10. Corbett in his second term as AG convened 2009 Grand Jury investigation. Later, Corbett wins governor race. Puts JS on trial and in prison. Corbett has Clinton-Rendell flunky Louis Freeh investigate. Freeh blames JoePa because he’s going to die soon anyway. PSU admin gets sacked. Toady trustees boards slowly but surely resign.
11. Freeh gets lots of money. Political class skates on their fiduciary and moral responsibilities.
12. NCAA fines PSU $60 million. PA taxpayers ask, “I have to pay for this? What did I do.”
13. I wish we told the NCAA to go eat a cowpie and go intramural.
