Joe Pa actually dead

January 22, 2012

Please, there's enough nonsense in this thread already.

guys joe paterno never even heard of a man raping another man, cut him some slack he was OLD and man rape wasn't invented until the 90's

=D>

RynoRules · January 22, 2012

Classic fraud, created by an overzealous media and cult of personality. Joe Paterno probably wasn't the devil, but he was very, very far from being the man he was depicted to be up until recently.

This thread sucks.

I would think that many of us on here would go to the cops instead of our supervisor, but maybe that's just me.

Tim Curley was his supervisor, Joe reported to him. Gary Schultz was in charge of the campus police, Joe reported to him, too. But why worry about facts?

Also, McQueary testified that he never told Joe that he saw a child raped (in fact, he never told anyone that he saw a rape). He told Joe he saw something inappropriate. Im not sure why people can't see the possibility that Paterno (who wasn't a witness) held out hope that what McQueary saw was a mistake, and that by reporting it to the AD and campus police they would handle it appropriately.

But yeah, I can see how it makes sense that a guy who wanted to orchestrate a massive coverup would choose to tell his boss and the head of police all about it.

That's all well and good if it was an isolated incident.

I understand your logic here...if we were talking about underage drinking or drugs.

im shocked that the one person who attended penn state in this thread is defending him

Soul · January 23, 2012

I'm shocked that we're on page 3 and already gone to Hitler.

Ouch!

Yes I am. Did you not read my entire post? Did you not read McQueary or Paterno's testimonies? Paterno was never told a rape occurred. But again, why worry about the facts we know?

Look, if people want to be mad at someone for not doing more, they should be mad at McQueary, you know, the only person who witnessed anything. But that would require rational thinking, and where is the snark in that?

of course it wasn't rape, they were just horsing around.

jeez, as if the other paterno apologists didn't drop their pants in this thread, we now have captain crazy preening for the crowd.

Magnetic Curses · January 23, 2012

in fact, i doubt sandusky did anything wrong at all.

Governor Tom Corbett, also supports child rape

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has ordered the state’s flags lowered to half-staff in honor of legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno.

The inflammatory hyperbole is unnecessary, and honestly makes you look bad.

Yeah, he doesn't support child rape. He just thinks that the life of a man who aided and abetted child rape should be honored state-wide.

Theo · January 23, 2012

Actually Corbett was attorney general of Penn during the time Sandusky abused these children and never brought charges against him. So yes, in addition to today's stunt of lowering the flags(completely uncessessary), I believe he doesn't support the rights of young children.

RynoRules · January 23, 2012

Well, he went on t.v. and declared his innocence in a coherent and utterly convincing fashion.

I think the lesson that Joe Pa and Jerry would have us learn is that if you ignore horrific conduct and/or deny that it occurred then you shouldn't be held responsible. Rather, a shrine should be erected in your honor and meaningless, cliched statements like, "Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things", will be held up by your followers as a pearl of true wisdom.

EDIT: Now that i think of it, Joe Pa's quotes remind me of the one's spewed by Pat Swayze's character in "Donnie Darko". The character was later found to have a "kiddie porn dungeon" in his home.

Good thing that movie was a work of fiction....
