we need to remember we are still animals, we look for leaders and respect icons no matter what happens.
furthermore, most of us human, animals do not understand the child molestation thing so we can't comprehend the consequenses that our leaders are being punished for. During the Penn St game yesterday, I was typing innuendoes while the announcers reported the events during the game, along with other farkers simply because I don't understand why someone would commit an unthinkable act, and to get and make a laugh.
We had a predator in our high school who watch us getting physicals, we knew he was sick and stayed away from him, we always made jokes about his weirdness and hoped no one would get in his grasp, We never thought about telling the principal or others because we did not trust or like this authority figures, and the pedo really did nothing wrong, watching us get checked by a doctor with bad dandruff and him there was just a part of how we wanted out of that school and get on with our lives. And who then knew pedo was not supposed to be there?
The pedo was caught 10-15 years later for photographing kids, the parent sued the town, and their taxes tripled, If we did complain or question, I'm positive the hierarchy would have taken his side and more trouble for us, we never won anything, heck my friend and i even got smacked by a teacher in front of the entire school during assembly because we called him "chuck". nothing happened to him while we got detention for lack of respect, this was in 1984.
Humans are weird, we can't find a utopia or a common thinking ground, even with the technological breakthroughs we marvel at today. perhaps the best solution is to laugh the unthinkable away.......

Just last week, people cheered when a doctor was convicted of murder for not stopping a drug-addict pedophile from overdosing.

alcoda: saintstryfe: If you want to be kinda sick - go over to NY Times. (new window) They had an opinion thing where two of the four commentators were screaming about this being a good way to start killing college sports. Sad, and pathetic. And just as bad are the "Dont' cancel the season" people - who don't get how serious it is.
Still, this is not doing much for me. I see a lot of people who are pissy they don't get to have a coach (one video I saw on ESPN said it was Joe's last home game - do you think he was retiring next year if he wasn't caught half-heartily accepting a child rapist in his midst?), a lot of people trying to put on a positive face (we can call this Damage Control or "Spin") despite how bad it is, and a few people genuinely upset their school was involved in this.
What I didn't see was a single Penn State person say "Good, I'm glad he's gone, he shouldn't have stayed after this." And that disturbs me, because being outside of their bubble, it feels like no one in there is understanding how freak'n serious this is.
I also saw more of this fake, passive Christianity - praying at midfield, praying on street corners "Oh look how sad we are" bullshat. Fark you, you didn't know any of this and none of it mattered to you, you're just putting on a show because whomever is in charge of you told you to.
Now I'm not an idiot - they shouldn't have canceled the game, they shouldn't have fore-fitted the game, they shouldn't have taken it off the air. They should have just played it, just sans the school prep-rally stuff. I still saw tons of it, and it kind of sickened me. However, it is senior day for thousands of people not involved, it is a day of work for hundreds of people running the stadium and concessions. It is millions in TV revenue. No reason to steal their times and their dollars for no appreciable benefits - it won't make the children who were hurt LESS raped, and it won't make Paterno MORE fired, so just get back to the game. Be humble and stop with the bullshat. It's not your show - it's the game we're here for.

vudukungfu: ole prophet: both Texas and Florida have come out saying they are looking into this AND depending on what comes out that was known/not known, could those states go after those involved under an aiding or abetting charge?
They execute rapists in Texas, don't they?
Not sure, but it may be the only time in history that homophobia is actually... well I can't say good.

vudukungfu: Sandusky was given $100,000 unsecured bail. He didn't have to post a dime.
Judge Dutchot moved to Centre County in 2003. In 2005, Ms. Dutchcot was named the State College Jaycees Lawyer of the Year. Ms. Dutchcot is Vice-President of Centre County Meals on Wheels, a counselor at Centre County Law Enforcement Camp Cadet, Inc., a member of the Nittany Valley Running Club and volunteers for the American Heart Association, The Second Mile and Centre County PAWS.
So, no need to recuse herself at all?
WTF is going on over there?
This is why it is such a fecking big deal and good thing that the Feds can be involved. They need to take over the whole farking show. Because the nepotistic* bullshiat surrounding this case runs deep indeed.
*yeah, I know, not literal as they are probably not related. You know what I mean, though

radiobiz: pregerstheHobo: Oh yeah, he did the bare farking legal minimum. Whoop dee farking doo. Children were raped. He completely failed morally. fark him.
THIS. 8 cases that they know about in 15 years. How many more are there do you suppose? I'm sure a lot. Allegedly the college kids have been joking about people getting "sanduskied" for a while now. If this has been going on long enough for the student body to become insensitive and make jokes wow. Just wow. Fark Joe Paterno, Fark Penn State Athletics, Fark Penn State University. Kill the athletics program, purge the entire campus leadership and start the eff over. This is so heinous no option should be off the table.
I think that opinion is a bit harsh... but when the lawyers are done, both on the civil side & the Feds (not the Sgt Schultz Pennsylvania authorities), there probably won't be much left at Penn State.
There's going to be a lot of collateral damage out of this. I can say that it sucks, but how much did the school benefit from the legacy of Paterno, Sandusky, and the PSU football program?
I feel sorry for the Penn State students & alumni who aren't connected to this horrible crap, but your school was covering up the rape of children! That kind of institution can't be long for this world.

Really I'm Black: Mad_Radhu: I can only hope that when Sandusky is getting butt-raped in jail, anyone who happens to come across it happening is as discreet as the Penn State coaching staff, and politely doesn't ruin the special moment by calling the guards.
im pretty sure sandusky isnt going to get butt raped so much as murdered in jail. if he doesnt pop himself off before then.
Does this kind of stuff happen, or is it always just talk? Do kid-diddlers get it in prison?

New head coach, with completely new staff, none of whom are allowed to be alums of PSU. Bradley replaced Sandusky apparently in 99.

Wasn't PA the state that busted the Judges for the cash for kids scandal awhile back?
Chances are good that this judge knows the 2 that got busted.
Law Enforcement Camp Cadet, etc.
This lends so much to speculation.

mynameist: I heard on the radio (NPR I think) that there was a guy investigating this case and they never found his body. That would explain why the whistleblower guy only blew so loud.
After seeing most of the reactions around the town, and knowing about this backstory, it's amazing people actually don't think stuff like this can possibly happen anywhere.
You want to really fark with your mind? Imagine if this happened to Texas or Alabama or any other southern university. We'd have a lot more dead DA's involved, the assistant coach would have mysteriously accidentally died, and the guy who "did this to the program" would have been lynched live on every national network covering his arrest.

Ken VeryBigLiar: One estimate has the possible suits as taking 15% of their total endowment.
Whoa. Is that just university park or the whole system? In the latter case, that would be over $200M. Not that I disagree, it would be a serious wake up call to every senior university administrator across the country not to let people get away with bullshiat like this. The dumber ones will just start some "sexual harrassment" clinics and required training, but others will shake down the system and get most of the screwballs out. It's far more than will ever happen with the Catholic church. Or congress.

The espn people said it would be about $150 MM; mostly using the Catholic church settlement amounts as a ballpark figure. The problem is for decades you'll have to worry about new people coming forward so you end up keeping funds dedicated for settling these funds instead of devoting them to new buildings and so on.
