Penn State's athletic director plus ex-Paterno assistant charged in child sex case

[Dr.Fessel]

No doubt in my mind what they are learning from the new victims coming out is Peterno knew a lot. It wasn't just one victim reported to him.

Here is a great commentary article from the LA Times......and Penn State may actually DESERVE for all these predictions to come true. What a shameful legacy..... I feel sorry for the student athletes committed to the school and can only hope that the NCAA actually DOES decide to release all of them to transfer without penalty of sitting out a year at their new schools.

Michael Pilato, the original painter of a large mural on Hiester Street in State College, PA, which featured notable Penn State figureheads, made the decision to paint over the face of the school’s former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

Yes, as more victims come forward I think the scope of the story will get much broader. I am glad these victims are old enough to remember and now be heard. If I was a mother of a victim that told me and it still got swept under the rug I believe that I would be screaming from the mountain tops until someone listened. I feel bad for the families and, of course, especially for the young boys. We may only be seeing the tip of the iceberg and many victims may have already self-destructed because of this.

Unless you subscribe to the theory that Paterno is completely brain dead, you have to acknowledge that Paterno knew EXACTLY what kind of animal Sandusky is.

Read the indictment! He didn't make much effort at trying to hide. He brought several of his victims TO the Penn State team showers. He was observed preforming oral sex on one child by a janitor, as well as being seen by the grad student while committing anal rape on another child. BOTH in the wide open, fully lighted, team showers! That's not even COUNTING the number of these children paraded around by this FREAK at team functions and on the sidelines at team games!

Paterno KNEW. Damn him, he knew and did nothing to protect these children.

I wonder what happens to Penn State funding the attorneys for the other scumbuckets?

Oh I am sure some government agency will declare the school to big to fail and bail them out when the lawsuits pile up.

 

[raeann]

Now let's hope the NCAA steps up to the plate and releases these young athletes. They should not be held committed to an athletic department that is in ruins and one that falsely came into their homes and spoke of honor and integrity to their parents!!

YES!

Finally.

 

[Concerned Papa]

Coach Joe Paterno and the president of the school have lost their jobs, effective immediately, over a child sex abuse scandal at Penn State, university trustees announced Wednesday night.

That's step one.

 

[Ada]

I have the feeling that these guys don't even understand what all the fuss is about.

Spanier's out, Paterno's out. I always thought Paterno would die on the field. When I went to PSU I had a life size cutout of Paterno (I can't quite call him Joe Pa anymore). My cousin went to Notre Dame; it was quite a rivalry. It' all so lost now....there must be so many more victims that we don't even know about. Yet. WHO WAS THAT 10 YEAR OLD BOY??!!

I've followed him since the FCA case. I had tweeted him this:

Students are descending on Old Main, chanting "Joe Paterno" and "F--- the board." #PSUCharges #PSUBOT

 

[Concerned Papa]

But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. From the Book of Luke, Chapter 12, Verse 2.

These powerful words have been my Internet signature for many years and have never been more relevant than tonight.

As far as we can tell, Beaver Canyon is clear. Steady stream of students running to Old Main.

Crowd does not appear violent, though certainly riled up. The entire lawn is filling up.
