Mike McCreary SHOULD have reported the shower rape to the police.To heck with asking his boss first.He witnessed a heinous crime and didn’t try to stop it. The worship of atlhletics is just so wrong.
McQueery should have stopped the act in progress. He didn’t (or maybe he did, we don’t really know). He did report it to his immediate boss, Paterno, after discussing it with his father, who reported hearsay to his immediate boss.
For everyone living in lalaland, there are requirements/laws to follow. And the more laws we have about this and other things, the more people think twice about getting involved. We can all be keyboard commandos but when it hits you in the face, then you have to decide whether to fight it or do what’s legally required or more. You have to decide if hearsay it reliable and what your actions will produce.
I don’t fault Paterno on this. He did was he was legally required to do in our now PC society. He was an older man, grew up in a different world. And the witch hunts of the past, even as most recently of the child care cases and repressed memory, etc. and all that crap, we get to this.
The media made Paterno the focus of this, it suits their sensationalism, and the some of the sheep are following right along with it. It takes pressure and exposure off the real issues.
