Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE 2* Sandusky Arrested Again

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE* Paterno Fired

There are two points here.

One is that you're delusional idiot fanboys for constructing the one path of logic that, since 1998, implicates everyone else in the world and excuses Joe Paterno, the king of the state. The chances that the events happened as your version suggests are about 1 in 1 million.

The other point is that even if that 1 in 1 million is the way it went down, we still have Joe Paterno with knowledge of "fondling or something of a sexual nature" between Jerry Sandusky and a boy who appeared to be 10 years old, and all he did was hand that information off and be done with it.

And even in that 1 in 1 million best-case scenario, he needed to be fired and he needed to be heaped with scorn from around the world and for all time.

And that also will come out once the finger-pointing begins and all of these people start to cover their asses from a legal standpoint.

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE* Paterno Fired

OK, yeah. That's not what I said.

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE* Paterno Fired

Of course not. If Paterno says it, we must take it as gospel. No need for skepticism if Coach Joe Pa tells us it is true, right?

Didn't a DA who was investigating this case years ago also go missing?

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE* Paterno Fired

Wow. My mom? Really?

OK, so you are now saying that detectives, prosecutors, and teachers should all come under the same fire as Paterno. Good. And since the head coach/chief of police/DA/Principal know EVERYTHING that goes on under them, then we should get them too.

Now the journalists. I put "maybe" in there because I didn't want to accuse them of being lazy or incompetent. Because shouldn't any journalist that hears these allegations go into attack mode and try to root the story out? There's probably a Pulitzer in there if they can break something like this.

Or is it OK for them to interview just the detectives and prosecutors and not do any digging? You know - the bare minimum.

Folks, it's been reported multiple places that the dad went to Paterno's house with his son.

There's the Times source right there.

He's been giving interviews.

It ain't hard to figure out.

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE* Paterno Fired

Rick, you act as if what you're questioning is whether he really believes Indiana State is a tough opponent.

If you're dealing with something of this gravity -- and this is pretty much all I've said along the way -- you need to deal with what's down in black and white only, and not add the skepticism or the "now this is what is going to happen" that Mr. Havercamp just displayed.

(Yes, Mr. Havercamp, you have all the right in the world to engage in the prediction business. It simply doesn't help your credibility.)

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE* Paterno Fired

If the question is what McQueary told Paterno in that initial meeting the next day at Paterno's home--yes, my understanding is that only McQueary and Paterno were party to that conversation--if you've got evidence showing differently, I'd be glad to read about it. And if there were subsequent meetings about this that involved Paterno, McQueary and others, I'm not aware of them.

"He saw a naked boy, Victim 2, whose age he estimated to be ten years old, with his hands against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky.


The next morning, a Saturday, the graduate assistant telephoned Paterno and went to Paterno's home and reported what he had seen."

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE* Paterno Fired

Not helping your case, Azrael. "Reported what he had seen" could mean about 797 things.

 

Re: Penn State AD charged with perjury -- *UPDATE* Paterno Fired

How dare we question Coach Joe Pa and his gravity? Of course, that's the exact attitude that fostered this situation in the first place.

Screw that. I'm not a PSU fanboy. I had no opinion on Paterno going into this, and I don't worship him because he won a lot of football games. He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt because of his "gravity."

The facts he's willing to admit to paint him very badly, and those facts have a lot of trouble passing the smell test.
