Shame on all those elected 'officials', and assorted Democrats and Republicans, and whatever else who embraced Joe Kelley, knowing he was a pedophile. I just do not get how anyone can associate with such vermin.

And yes, CT. Those students of privilege have no brains and place more importance on a football coach and team than the violationof a child. I hope the police there lit 'em up with pepper-balls, tazers and chemical spray-Fuck Those ignorant little punks.

Paterno deserves NO sympathy here.
Shortly after the incident, the Grad Assistant was promoted to the position he holds today. 'Keep your friends close and those who can bring you(Paterno) down even closer'. Stay classy, Joe.

I really wouldnt want to be anywhere near this Mike McQueary, lest the sniper round take ME out.
He should do everyone including himself a favor and hang himself.

And as I pointed out in the post, Paterno not hearing anything doesn't necessarily mean nothing was done. Not only is he powerful on campus, he is a friend of Sandusky's. How would it look to have Paterno hovering over the investigation? That's an appearance of impropriety. It was best for all involved if AFTER he reported it, he stayed out of it.

Plus, an investigation of this nature SHOULD be kept quiet until charges are brough, and perhaps afterwards. In child molestation cases, the charge by itself is devastating. Guilty until proven innocent, or more like guilty even if proven innocent.

You miss the point, Jeff. He stayed quiet after telling the Athletic Director when nothing happened. You know that Paterno was like Bobby Knight was on the IU campus; he didn't take orders from those above him because of his stature.

Gary,

Paterno did report it. He was the only one who did what he was supposed to do.

I get your point, Jeff, but you are comparing apples and oranges in your blog post. There were third party eyewitnesses who caught Sandusky in the act, including a graduate assistant who walked in on him blanking a 10-year-old boy in the showers, and another incident where a wrestling coach, coincidentally named Joseph Miller, walked in on Sandusky on top of a young boy on the floor. They were just wrestling Sandusky told him. Yeah, right. The grad assistant was horrified at what he saw and went to Paterno's home and told him about what he had witnessed. Bottom line is that neither child welfare services nor police were ever notified of the incident. I recall being disturbed by a priest's actions around young boys when I worked for the state legislature in Illinois. I worked out at the downtown Y where many prominent politicians and business people also worked out. This priest would bring young boys with him to the Y and shower with them and sit in the sauna or hot tub with them. It struck me as being highly inappropriate. I made the mistake of raising my suspicions with some of my fellow Catholic co-workers one day. Suffice it to say, they were not at all pleased that I would dare besmirch the revered Father's reputation. A couple of years went by and sure enough he got busted for molesting many young boys. What is it they say? See something, say something!

I think you're being a little unfair to Paterno.

Let me make sure I understand this...a man violates a number of CHILDREN over a number of years. He & his boss get fired for it (finally).
Then, the "young adults" at that school RIOT, overturn vehicles, break windows out of vehicles, tear down security light posts (there for their protection) and complain that the "coach" got fired.
Do I have it about right?
Ever wonder why this country is in the shape it's in?
