McQ got his assistant coach job, PSU kept winning, Sandusky continued raping. Everybody was happy.
McQ and Joe saw that Sandusky was not held accountable for raping the kid and they kept quiet. The janitors kept quiet in 2000. Everyone kept quiet in 1998. They are ALL to blame for countless kids getting raped because the ALL enabled him to continue raping and raping and raping and raping ....
As the head of the PA police department said, he had never seen such a coverup of such a horrific crime in his entire life. He blamed the PSU culture from the bottom of the top.
No, Mc Q and Paterno did not keep quiet. Both reported their knowledge to their immediate supervisors. The stories are quite clear about that. I believe it was the former head of the PA State Police who made the comments. It seems to me that any current or former state officer out running his mouth on this either has an ax to grind or is too stupid to realize he is jeopardizing the cases against Sandusky and the two admins. So, following the ex-cop’s non-logic the defendant should be a “culture”. What a crock! Three people may be responsible, ultimately: Sandusky for being a pervert and the two admins for covering up. Since a grand jury operates without time limits and without any limits on evidence discovery this particular GJ of disinterested (neutral) folks did not find sufficient evidence to indict McQ or Paterno. Those folks probably heard stuff that would make your skin crawl as well as stuff that would surprise most folks about the supposed “culture”. Was Paterno subpoened to the GJ? Was McQ? I don’t know. If they were they had to appear without counsel and had to answer every question under oath under penalty of perjury. It sounds like the GJ did a thorough and comprehensive job. The article from the Beast asks the rhetorical question about how Paterno could hire such a “monster”. That’s a fair question since PSU is a state school and makes all potential employees undergo a thorough criminal records check. In “coach world” there are also tons of unofficial, off record conversations. I believe if anything had indicated Sandusky’s true nature he would never been hired. This is horrible for the victims. I’m not minimizing that. A perv beat the system for years. Sadly, that happens.
