Yes, I have read the GJ Report.
You do not know all the essential facts. McQeary has already ‘adjusted’ his story. Others have some forward. Others have adjusted their stories.
The students were upset (and most did not riot, it was a few hooligans in the crowd) because of the reporting being done by the media that was full of half-truths and assumptions. They felt the Paterno was being targeted and others had as great or greater role in allowing this to happen, yet, only Paterno (and Spanier) were fired. You see the media was primarily targeted. The students were tired of microphones being stuck in their faces all week asking them what they thought of events and only seeing those that talked the university down being shown.
There is pride at PSU, many good things going on and they feel much of their hard work is being descredited by the actions of one man. They are frustrated.
The response the next nights (candlelight vigils, prayer services, money being raised to support victims, blue-out at the game to raise awareness) reflect the true nature of the student body yet all people focus on are the few that did damage on the Wednesday night.
I’m a very ashamed ‘65 PSU alum. The pedophila issue is a sympton of a far greater problem at Penn State and most universities in the country. It is called Marxism. A miasmic cancer that is embraced vigorously and wholeheartedly by demrat political and education leadership.
Like many universities, PSU made the hard turn to the left in the ‘60s and early ‘70s. The anti-VietNam radicals fueled that movement with much encouragement from academia.
What happened at PSU is a complete lack of morality. Everyone’s, and I mean everyone’s, first instinct was to protect Penn State and its precious football program. If you’re not enraged by McCreary’s not coming to the boy’s aid immediately you’re part of the problem.
I agree that all the components of the entire sordid affair are not known. That said, what will subsequently come out will be far worse than what we know. I fully expect whispers that Sandusky was pimping the kids out to big donors will be true. I fully expect that exPSU Pres. Spanier will be implicated as a participant—in the coverup and the abuse. There is some evidence he may have been involved in a similar situation when he was at Nebraska U.
This will come out when Sandusky realizes he’s no longer protected. When that happens, he will turn to revenge mode for not being picked to be PSU head football coach. He’ll sing like a bird in an effort to mitigate punishment.
You are like a person waiting on the tracks at a train station. You have a train schedule and know the train is due, but you just can’t make yourself get out of the way. Heck, you probably really believe the media are not Marxist propaganda organs.
I’d like to know what good things are happening at Penn State. Even its sciences have been politicized. Tenured PSU profs were caught cooking their global warming “science” a couple of years ago. No sanction.
A prof. at PSU felt comfortable enough to write an email suggesting vets be marginalized. Why? They had the guts to dispute Marxist propaganda being broadcast in their classes. Unfortunately for PSU the memo made its way into the public domain. No sanction to the professor. You can Google it.
With Penn State approval a woman’s group on campus launched two intiatives to empower women. One was “The Tent of Consent” For two minutes, behind a screen, students could grope each other. The other one was something called a “Cuntfest”. All this, by the way, under Spanier. You can Google it.
In 1973 or ‘74 I returned to Penn State for a homecoming game. I stopped by the Journalism School—having majored in journalism. A fellow approached and asked, in a British accent, what I had done since graduating. I told him I served in the US Army for 4 1/2 years. He said “fuck you” and walked away. Turns the puke was the Dean. Can’t remember his name anymore.
I have given nothing to the school since that time.
The rot is wide and deep throughout the American education system. It’s not just Penn State.
