Stop being so hard on poor ol Joe. He only enabled a sick adult to rack up 50 something counts of child molestation.

he was told about it .. passed the buck .. allowed Sandusky continued, unsupervised access to HIS locker room to do it again and again .. pieced together by Paterno's own admission .. I don't care what percentage of the story that is .. it's enough for most people ..
Maybe you don't want to know 100% of the story .. Maybe he's taking the most disgusting parts to his grave ..

Not sure what this has to do with anything but fwiw, you've accumulated almost 2k posts in about 2 years. I've been here 8.

anyone else worried that emmanuellewis may be in danger in this thread?

This is real simple for me. I don't pretend to know all that happened, or everything Joe knew, but the following is all I need to make my opinion as he has admitted to this.
A GA saw JS raping a child in a shower. The 27 yr old GA turns his back on the child and sits on his info till the following day when he goes to Joe. Joe decides to go and tell the AD and the man over campus police (Said man was not a law enforcement official). They decide to handle things internally and basically hide the incident. JS continues to run his non-profit for under privileged children and still has access to facilities at PSU.
Joe isn't the only one with culpability, but he is the face of PSU and wielded great influence within its framework. He allowed the truth of what took place in his showers to be silenced. Opening the way for JS to continue his criminal activities.
You who choose to offer only praise for JoePa and disdain for those of us who choose to call him out may do so. However, to deny JoePa was not culpable in a big way just by keeping quiet, then there is no need for further discussion.

Here's one guys.
My 93 year old grandmother has been unconscious for about a week now. They have taken her off her meds. Her Dr is not going to see anymore. Hospice is by her side pumping her some morphine. She is likely passing today. She was religious and never hurt anyone.

why do people NOT see this ? and why do people continue to say "we don't know all the facts" ?? What MORE do you need to know ?? like I said earlier .. these people may NOT want to know all the facts .. the man may have taken even deeper, darker secrets to his grave ..

Wow.
Just so incredible how things went south the last few months.

Definitely would be a greater loss to this world than the passing of JoePa.
I notice that the people who defend JoePa are mostly older and probably still enamored with the legend he cultivated in the many decades before the Sandusky scandal surfaced. It's inherently more difficult for those people to change their opinion of him, but it's not logical.

He reiterated that McQueary was unclear with him about the nature of what he saw—and added that even if McQueary had been more graphic, he's not sure he would have comprehended it.
"You know, he didn't want to get specific," Paterno said. "And to be frank with you I don't know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man."

"I just saw Coach Sandusky in the showers with a boy and what I saw was wrong and sexual," McQueary recalled telling his father that night in 2002. He repeated it the next morning to coach Joe Paterno, who slumped deep into his chair at his kitchen table.
"He said, `I'm sorry you had to see that,"' McQueary said.
