Hard to feel sympathy for someone who knew that Sandusky was more than likely continuing to molest children, and chose not to stop it.

The problem is unless you actually witness someone molesting a child first hand it is very difficult to do much more than report what someone has said. Mr Paterno reported second hand information.

I don’t understand why this isn’t so completely obvious to everyone. He only had secondhand knowledge and he DID report the secondhand knowledge to the university. It was the universitys job to investigate. HoePa did what he should have done.
I feel so bad for him RIP JoePA.

>>It was the universitys job to investigate.

Are universities a sovereign state now, like an Indian tribe? When someone comes to you and says they witnessed something heinous, the only responsible action is to ask them if they are sure and if they will testify to it under oath. If they say yes, you pick up the phone and say, “OK. Then, let’s call the police.”

I feel sorry for him, because this certainly affected his will to live and it’s one of the big things he’ll be remembered for, after all the great things he’s done. But, that’s the price we pay for normalizing homosexuality and putting it up on a pedastal that does not allow any critique. JoePa is just another victim of the homosexual/PC war on American virtue.

He should have called 911 immediately upon hearing sexual abuse was occurring or even suspected at that time. There may even still have been evidence.
