I think Joe Paterno a lowlife scumbag who turned a blind eye to Sandusky parading around young boys after multiple reports of something being VERY VERY wrong.

He gave a job to the guy who reported ‘wet skin slapping against wet skin’ as Sandusky abused a boy in the shower who looked to be 10 years old.

If Joe Paterno thought McQueery credible - then something should have been done.

If Joe Paterno thought McQueery a liar - he should have never given him a job.

It seems that Joe Paterno did what he did to try to protect the image of Pedo State Football - and the abused children be damned. Well - he made his bed - and now he (and his lowlife fans) have to lay in it.

If Jarrett or Axelgreasy told them to cross those lines, they would leap across so fast the pixels would warp.

No, those boys needed help.

Joe Paterno provided none. Penn State Pedo Football provided none. The community provided none.

And the JoePa apologists would prefer to go on pretending that it never happened.

Either McQueery was credible and something should have been done about Sandusky over 10 years ago.

Or McQueery was not credible and he shouldn't have been given a job for the last 10 years.

As it was it seems that McQueery was credible enough to be given a job according to Joe Paterno - but not credible enough to actually stop Sandusly from parading young boys around the PennPedo State campus for the next ten years.

Want to fix the problem permanently? Want justice? Hit Penn State with sanctions that matter by nailing their checkbook.

Ban all intercollegiate sports at Penn State for 10 years. All students on athletic scholarships can transfer elsewhere without prejudice. All coaches, staff, and administrators are fired. All PSU sports are terminated for 10 years with NO exception. After 10 years have passed, PSU can reapply for reinstatement.

You are willing to not only implicate a (now dead) head coach, the entire football program and the college itself; you want to implicate anyone who harbors the slightest regard for Joe Paterno in Sandusky's perversion.

That is twisted. You need to take a step back.

Paterno's dead, so there's not much of a point in belaboring his guilt.

He had to choose between concern for his football program and concern for the boys he knew were getting anally raped by one of his proteges.

Joe took steps he thought necessary to protect his program and forgot about the boys.

JoePa is gone now. His statue will be following soon. Torn down like Stalin's or Hussein's.

The facts implicate a particularly loathsome complicity on the part of Joe Paterno and many in the athletic department.

It was the sickness in the way of thinking - that only football mattered - that led to the cover up and then riots on the campus when Joe Paterno was fired.

No riots to demand that those who knew got fired. No riots in defense of abused children. Just riots to defend someone complicit in their abuse. Sickening.

Joe Paterno has blood on his hands for the many boys abused by Sandusky for over a decade after more than one credible reports that he was abusing boys on the Penn State campus in the showers.

Defending one who knowingly shielded a pedophile is what is twisted. You need to take a long walk off a short pier.

My point is not to defend Paterno - obviously he disgraced himself.

In fact I could care less about football.

I'm simply wondering why some direct far more vitriol at the old man than at the sexual predator himself. Its wierd.

I think Paterno was talked about so much because he still had defenders arguing that he shouldered no blame. That is what was weird.

Sandusky has no defenders. None. They could announce plans to skin him in Times Square tomorrow, and nobody would raise an objection.

“Too bad a parent of one of these children did not beat the freak to death like the one in Texas.”

Sad thing is he preyed on the kids who he knew had parents who didn’t care....he knew he was safe.

Get bent.

Sandusky is scum. That is not in doubt. What everyone wondered was how he went so long without being discovered - and the answer was Penn State Football and Joe Paterno; who knew for over ten years that something was wrong - while boys kept being abused and led around Penn State Campus and to events where people who knew saw and did nothing.

Those who rioted at Penn State when Paterno was fired defended Joe - who knowingly shielded a pedophile.

They are twisted - with a sick and stunted morality - and thought - like Paterno thought - that football was more important.

It isn't.

End of story.

Fine. But be careful when flailing around in moral indignation - you might tag someone who doesn’t deserve it.
