It doesn’t matter if Paterno is republican, democrat, independent or alien from Mars. As a university member, as an adult and as a human being he was responsible for not only reporting the incidents but following up on it to make sure proper actions were occurring. As is, he’s an enabler.
Same goes for any graduate student that was there. Same goes for anybody over the age of 18.
“It doesn’t matter if Paterno is republican, democrat, independent or alien from Mars.”
I agree, but if he was a Democrat, I don’t think any of this would have come to light.
Which makes me wonder why so little attention is being focused on the person who actually saw the crime.
Everyone seems to agree that Paterno should be history because he didn’t report it to Police, as with the others fired, but I don’t see anyone in Big Media screaming the same thing about the grad assistant, and I WONDER WHY.
