Add this to your list. I believe this will be the bigger story as the heat is turned up.

Revealed: Prosecutor who failed to nail Penn State coach for ‘sex abuse’ vanished in 2005 and was declared ‘legally dead’ this year

Culture is the manufactory of the Man. People have always been flawed, but a strong Culture give them something to lean on in tough moments. Culture won’t stop evil rather it fights it. Simply put: There was nothing bigger in any of these ‘persons’ (they are not Men)lives than Happy Vally, Football and Joe Pa.

“I think that people are jumping on Joe Paterno because that makes more news than writing about the actual alleged perp..”

This isn’t tunnel vision, it’s intermittant vision. Joe Paterno’s silence got even more children raped than would have been the case if he’d actually been the Man he liked to pretend that he was.

I read that, too. I am positively sick. Waiting for that shoe to drop.

PSU circled the wagons...just like they did around that globull warming professor that falsified his data. They conducted an INTERNAL investigation and found nothing wrong. Of course.

As a Pa. taxpayer, though, the settlements these families are inevitably going to get better not come from anywhere else but the Penn State employees (coaches) or the University itself. I refuse to be part of that foodchain.

This wasn’t all about sports, but college liberalism.

You are right. Penn State is also the home of the Global Warming hoax.

Sandusky wasn’t just a sick pervert, he was a total predator.

He set up an organization to be used as a supply of boys to molest.

He adopted 5 boys and many foster children. They need to interview every single child that entered that home and was in that organization.

I think his perversions are going to be huge, when this is fully investigated.

To hell with all of them...JoePa and Mcqueary...this interim coach is in it up to his stinking neck too....Just watch.

If one wants to see what happens when you embrace the homosexual agenda of gay marriage, etc, just look at Europe where most countries have lowered their age of consent to 14 (still not enough) and decriminalized pedophilia dramatically.

Correct - also interesting how the MSM covers this and never mentions homosexuality... instead watchfor the attacks on the football programs but not on the perpetrators.

It’s hard for me to read this thing, it’s so sickening, so I’m just going to ask here:

Did the police ever arrest the person who was witnessed having sex with a 10 year old boy?

This is completely wild speculation on my part, by in light of the fact that Sandusky was a coach there for so long, I'm wondering if he had, uh, "relations" with some of his players or with young kids who later played for Penn State.

A 28 year-old guy running home to his father for advice on what to do in this situation tells me we're dealing with a seriously stunted personality here.

Paterno went down but McQueary didn’t ? I don’t get it.

McQueary should be fired for not going to the cops!

Did Paterno know that there were many more kids assaulted than the one kid McQueary saw? If he did, then I agree with his immediate firing. If not, then he should have been allowed to finish the season.

You’re right. Paterno should have announced the real reason Sandusky was kicked off the coaching staff back in ‘99. I wonder how that would have went over.

There is no great conspiracy theory at work.

I can't be sure of that. There are several PSU officials, former officials & athletic department officials that sit on the board of The Second Mile Foundation. Several people wear 2 hats. Not uncommon for a college town. The foundation must be investigated, too.

My respect for paterno is down the drain, if all of this is true. “The Penn State legend tried to do an end-run around the trustees” That is exactly what he was trying to do, control the situation. Well, goodbye, you old fart.

Barry’s big on gay rights. I’ve always wondered why Spanier didn’t get the job as SecEd, what the Feds knew about Sandusky and when they knew it.

I take it Sandusky is a proud member of the homosexual community??

preying on young boys has always been their way -

The “Paterno-phase” of this scandal has hit its high-water mark. Now the university & the Second Mile Foundation are under the microscope. There will be a lot more coming out.

It´s more than a distraction - it actively corrupts the admissions and learning process, as the University has to go through the motions of pretending to give the “student athletes” a college education. It hurts the students, it hurts the athletes, and it makes little sense.
