That's what I've been wondering.
Everybody's calling out Joe Pa b/c a 22-yr old grad student told him about what he saw, and all Joe Pa did was run it up the flagpole. He didn't contact authorities.
However, no one seems to be holding the 22-yr-old grad assistant accountable. He's a fricking voting adult and is getting a pass in the court of public opinion b/c he's not a dinosaur like Joe Pa.
I know some of it has to do with him being an unknown nationally, but he holds just as much moral responsibility as Joe Pa and everyone else all the way up to the top.

The anger is starting to head towards the grad arse't. I for one think he is disgusting human being and a pussy.

If I were Sandusky I would find a very tall bridge and jump, frick what is going to happen to him in prison (although he deserves it)

I agree about the GA. It seems as if he panicked when he saw a 10yr old boy getting raped in the shower, when he should have curb stomped that old man. WTF?!? How do you just run and hide in your office and call your dad?
You absolutely have to rip the head off the fricking old man as soon as you see this shite happening. I am more pissed at this guy than anyone not named Sandusky.

quote:First of all, I believe the assistant was 28 years old. Second, he is slightly more culpable than Paterno. Third, there are many people calling that coward out. Fourth, you are correct that everyone one of those people at PSU that knew about it have significant culpability for failing to act.
hat's what I've been wondering.

You make a good point Luke.
I, for one, am guilty of this as well. While reading the grand jury report I thought to myself "why didn't this grad assistant go to authorities," but even still I didnt feel the contempt I did for everyone else involved.
Strange.

He deserves the same level of blame as JoePa does. We've all been saying that.
He's been a part of this cover up just as JoePa has.

I have a mixture of reactions. The whole story just makes you feel sick to your stomach and yes IMO the grad assistant should have gone to the police himself and reported the crime.
But as anyone who understands human behavior will tell you moral behavior and judgements are strangely susceptible to manipulation by other people and especially the actions of people around you with the guise of authority. There are a lot of examples that show this but an easy one to point to would be the Stanford prison experiment.

In failing to act further the grad assistant was morally culpable and did fail to see where his responsibilities lay... but in the presence of major authority figures with the national reputations for honesty and integrity (yes, that is Jo Pa I am referencing) what he did in reporting the issue to them is probably what many people would have done.
