“All together too many people here on FR have taken a hollier than thou attitude toward McQueary by saying he should have immediaely fought with Sandusky and called the police. At the time he was the lowest on the totem pole, indeed the one under the outhouse, at Penn State. Those threats show exacctly the kind of total personal and professional destruction that appeared to await him if he moved that way. Instead, he chose to follow the law and report the incident to his immediate superior, about all most of us here would have done under similar circumstances. Indeed, he comes out of the grand jury report as the cleanest of the bunch”
Maybe that’s all you would have done, but then you apparently believe that craven careerism justifies what the louse McQueary did or didn’t do - I’m surprised his own father didn’t kick his *ss when he came whining to him about Sandusky’s boy-rape.
Doing the right thing never 'pays', it always 'costs'. That's why it is so rare that 'most of us' apparently don't do it. It's good to know that I'm not like 'most of us'.
"Indeed, he comes out of the grand jury report as the cleanest of the bunch."
A fitting epitaph..."I was the cleanest of the bunch."
I agree they should probably cancel the rest of the season. I don’t understand all the fuss about security. Who was to do what to whom?
***Instead, he chose to follow the law and report the incident to his immediate superior, about all most of us here would have done under similar circumstances.
I think a few of us in here would differ. I hold McQuery 99% to blame. I would have attacked this basta*d with both hands.. Whats he gonna do? He’s nekkid and raping a 10 year old kid. HE WALKED AWAY and called his DADDY who told him to come home. Can you imagine the kids thoughts when his and McQuerys eyes met as he was getting raped? The Calvary!! Wait.hey wait. COME BACK! HELP! Let us not allow McQ to forget it. SCUM OF THE EARTH STILL ON PSU PAYROLL. Spit on his grave.
If you were actually there, in his position, you might well have behaved as he did—or worse. It’s very easy to make judgments like this while safely behind one’s computer, far harder when one’s entire future is on the line. He was only 28 and in a very junior position from which he readily could have been fired, followed by being blackballed. Unless you’ve actually been there in a similar position and done what you’re saying you would do, your opinion’s a bit of a stretch.
He still had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing and follow through. OK, you tell your boss you saw a crime or thought you saw a crime and no leo shows up for an interview?
Well, there are men, then there are grown up boys. Any man with decency would have popped the nekkid pervert and gotten the kid out of there. HE’s 6’4” and 240. We used to call them pussies.
Think of the kid as he watches this guy turn around and walk away while he’s getting banged. If that don’t whiz you off you are in the wrong place.
Good (unaired) documentary. Gives you an idea of the power and scope of one of these pedo rings:
