Paterno fired...

[Sean88gt]

Man its all they're talking about on the fan. Lol @ the Penn state students rioting. JoePa deserves to be fired for not doing more to stop Sandusky. The school is not going to recover from this. Looks like everyone who covered it up are being fired except McCreary.

Yes they will, in time. The program may suffer from here on out, but the school will be fine.

[exlude]

From what I saw this morning, JoePa was told about some inappropriate incidents but didn't know details or anything about rape. He reported it to his superiors and no action was taken. Not sure how much he should be accountable for, he isn't being charged (so far) either.

Read the indictment, be warned that its not pleasant:

So news coming out of PA is that Second Mile might have been pimping those kids out to high profile rich men.

I heard that too. These are all rumors for now, but it is starting to look like a juvenile prostitution ring is being uncovered. And all under the nose of, if not with the tacit approval of, Penn State administration. Crazy!

Wow this will get messy and expensive

Oh, so if it wasn't rape he gets a pass? ANY inappropriate "incidents" should have been reported to staff, and the police. Rape or not, do much as fondling is a punishable offense.


I had a lot of respect for JoePa. I've lost it all in a matter of days. He knew something. And he didn't do anything but tell the school staff. That's inexcusable in my eyes.

Would you feel any different if you knew the staff he told controlled the campus police?

Regardless who he told, he knew about it for 10 more years, and knew the guy never got in trouble. If I told my superior, and something wasn't done that day or the next, I would be calling the police. End of story.

Herp. Derp. Good assumption.

But back into non-fanatic land, he didn't know nearly as much as we know now. We was given minimal information and did report it to the staff. Dunno about the campus police. I'm not leaning either way. I don't think he's a saint, but not the devil incarnate either. Time should tell.

This is no assumption. Last count I heard was 40-50 counts. I'm sure it's all a conspiracy...And when the staff did nothing, he should have taken it to the local PD. I never said anything about the campus police. They could cover it up just as easily as the AD did. This is a man who in his years has worked with tons of kids. And I'd say a good amount of them were troubled. He knows first hand what the alleged actions would do to a child. If I ever had so much as a suspicion (and JoePa ha plenty reason to be suspicious), I'd go to the authorities. Let them do an investigation and figure it out.

If herp deep is reporting possible child abuse to the police, then yeah, I'll herp deep it up. I can't believe some of you are saying he don't do anything wrong. Shows a lot about your character.

I didn't really get that impression from anyone on here.

But apparently some kids at Penn State thinking rioting is a good way to show Joe Pa did everything right.

You don't think sitting by and doing nothing about alleged abuse says anything about someone's character? Sure, there may not hae been 40-50 instances at that time, but the suspicion was there. And he was busted red handed by other school staff, including a janitor. And he did nothing.

Perhaps I'm touchy because I have kids, and can't fathom how someone could not alert the authorities on suspicion alone. Perhaps I'm touchy because I have a close relative that was abducted and molested as a child. But I think everyone that knew ANYTHING and didn't alert the authorities needs to be charged, and let the judges and lawyers sort it out.

Jesus Christ bcoop, I've never seen someone so hell bent on twisting words since my ex. I never said that he gets a pass because it was or wasn't rape, so yes that was an assumption on your part. And here you go again with a load of ad hominem bullshit in this post. There is all of 1 count in this where JoePa is mentioned in any type of involvement and it's that a grad student came to him having witnessed something. As far as the testimonies go, what JoePa was told ranges from anal rape to horsing around. And when the grad student talked to the AD, JoePa wasn't there.

See the last sentence in post 23.

I think 95% of the people in America would alert the authorities, I don't know why Joe is in the majority on that though. Maybe he thought he was alerting the authorities by talking to the guy that ran the campus police, but that sure as hell doesn't explain how he didn't bring it up when no action was taken after he alerted them.
