State Pen and Penn State

Propedophile Sandusky
 For fifteen years, Jerry Sandusky, Assistant Coach to the famous and popular Joe Paterno, was sexually assaulting prepubescent boys. The total number of these children, at least those we now know about, is eight. What we also know is that Joe Paterno, ('Joe Pa,' as Penn State football fans lovingly refer to him) was aware of Sandusky's behavior but did nothing to stop it from continuing, thereby allowing this piece of garbage to continue molesting children. Paterno "regrets" this, but I bet the parents of those eight children regret it a lot more. 


Angry but not angry enough
What could a bystander like Paterno say to himself to justify not doing anything to stop the asssaults? "He's too damn good of a coach to let this get in the way of our winning"? or "They'll get over it and forget about it in time, like nothing happened"? I'm not sure that there is anything that justifies saying nothing when you know something terrible is happening to young innocents.


Mike McQueary, another team coach, saw Jerry Sandusky rape a young boy in the shower several years ago. McQueary is not going to be coaching the game this weekend because the college is afraid for his safety. But why is the school firing Joe Pa but not McQueary? It sounds weird . . . in fact, it sounds queer. 


Mike "Speak No Evil"  McQueary


Whatever you think of Joe Paterno, he is, after all, just a man. There is no question that he should have reported the abuse of the boys as soon as he knew it occured--to withhold it from the authorities, is akin to sanctioning it, and it makes Paterno culpable. How incredibly sad that a guy Paterno's age, who has led such a wonderful and long career in college football coaching, should end it this way. How sad a man like Joe Paterno, who saw and did nothing, cannot be prosecuted for his lack of action when it could have saved at least 7 kids from sexual trauma that they will have to live with for their entire lives. McQueary is no better and deserves the same punishment if the facts are real, and that Paterno and he were aware of Sandusky's disgusting behavior.


The mob at Penn State is protesting Paterno's firing. The mob always takes the wrong side, which is why they are a mob--think Occupy Yadda Yadda. The mob has become the voice of the left. It is a voice of empty thought and false emotion. If your child was the ninth child getting raped by a pig like Sandusky, how would you feel about Paterno and McQueary?
