The event described in 2002 in the Penn St locker room would be a life felony in Florida with no statute of limitations for prosecution.

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

mmmmm.....real classy......they should all just go home and study and be quietly embarrassed. So far none of this is the students fault.....unless they participate in furthering the scandalous behavior.

IF they could find a jury that isn't well, you know....

CNN national channel is covering all this right now.

I truly hope someone that can talk to the students comes forward and it ends up being nothing but a gathering of students.

I believed from the get go that Paterno knew more and knew for a long time. But that's JMHO

I was out watching the news with my 83 year old mother and HLN was playing this clip and she goes my god he sounds just like Michael Jackson.

You know she is right.

RAW VIDEO: Joe Paterno talks to Penn State students from his window - YouTube

YES! He also reminded me of my 81 YO MIL who has dementia.

CNN saying the students going from Old Main (the admin bldg) to Beaver Ave....which is off campus.

 

[Wise Old Owl]

Mike Galanos is there. He's saying that all the students are assembling at Beaver Avenue and that he (Mike and crew) are getting ready to head over there.

Please Lord don't let this get ugly. Its already ugly enough.

Yep, this whole worm turned and it makes me sick! When are childrens lives going to stop being bargained with? Lets keep cutting education classes like art and cursive writing in k through 12 and hand the money saved to corrupt sports! I wonder how much money was passed under the table, hush money.I mean, Look at the bet boards in bars, thats nuthn compared to the money on these games. I bet Nebraskas odds Just went up. Its ugly now and just about to uglier. If I had been the janitor, Sandusky would have been lucky if I had called the poleese, for sure. And Dr. Fessel, I am w you! Coach Joe or ex coach Joe knew wayyy more, those filthy pigs.

CNN has had live coverage for about the past hour. I alerted the scanner peeps.

' Paterno was given the news of the unanimous decision early Wednesday evening in a telephone call made by chairman of the board Steve Garban and Surma. Asked Paterno's reaction, Surma said, "That's a private discussion that I would rather not characterize." '

If it gets ugly, I hope that snippets videos of any violent students are made and their names tagged to the video. Then when they go for job interviews in a few years, and their prospective employer Google’s their name - there they are in all their "righteousness".

Hard to get a good view, but atmosphere is crazy. Fireworks were set off; police used mace on student. #PSUCharges

Oh my. Beaver Avenue is TT on twitter.

My fellow WSers... at this particular moment, with the allegations we know of and the grand jury presentment at hand, and terminations being announced and students apparently in the streets--can we please refrain from team-specific posts?

The news that we are learning of does not represent a victory for anyone, unless it is for the victims of this man, who are finally, many years too late, being heard.

Where this post falls is random.

Dr Phil w ACooper on CNN-we have to look the hardest at the people who reach out to children...paraphrased...tragic because who can parents trust. So true! Also, how do you witness a crime like that and go home and eat dinner? The janitor may have thought it was taken care of since the Sandusky dude lost his shower privledges. wow, wow, i just cant fathom whiskey tango foxtrot seeing that and not confronting the perv then and there. I hope they all end up in the bighouse and get to experience everything and then some that those kids did! ew ew ew. i cant stop crying. dang.

I pray that the 10 year old seen by McQueary being RAPED will come forward. That poor boy....

Paterno has had a brilliant football career and I'll let him have a last hurrah. The season will be over in a month.

i am the sole parent of four, three of whom are boys. if one of my sons had been welcomed into a program like the second mile, i'd have considered it a godsend. i would bet that is exactly what the mothers of these boys felt. and i would bet the boys thought they'd finally found some hero-men to believe in them, build them up, just HELP them. i can just feel what these people thought they were getting, if that makes sense. and it makes me cry bc i can't count the times i've wished my boys had a decent male role-model.

i suspect that the victims and the mothers of those victims don't give a friggin' iota about paterno's "brilliant" career. and neither should anyone else who has even a sliver of morality running through them. paterno lost the right to last hurrah when he failed to protect the right of god knows how many boys, the chance at a first one.

we're talking about the rape and terrorizing of minor children. to minimize that is just wrong.

It's just so hard to fathom that this went unreported to LE for so very long. Was it Victim 2 where the person who happened upon the act said that he knew Sandusky and the boy saw him? What kind of hopelessness must that child have felt?

It's OK to keep posting about this case but please do refrain from cheering for Penn's rival teams and whatnot. This goes way beyond that.
