I find it amazing that a Nitter comes on and acts somewhat rational and relents that he has to believe that "Sandusky probably was guilty", then with each post starts to go into the ridiculous and conspiratory paranoia that most Joebots cling to.
It is not rocket science, despite lawyers trying to make it as such.
Jerry liked little boys like PSU fan Jared likes little boys over foot long Subway subs.
Jerry was investigated for his attention to little boys in 1998.
Jerry mysteriously retired after 1998.
McQueary saw Jerry and Victim #2 in the showers one night doing things of "sexual nature" in 2002.
McQueary told Joe Paterno.
Joe Paterno told Curley and Schultz, that Monday because he did not want to ruin their weekend.
Sandusky meanwhile had at least 8 other victims over this next decade.
In a small town. Where there was at least a) a police investigation b) then a reported sighting by a PSU coach and c) lots of rumors...... No one did anything.
Why? Don't Penn State fans ever ask the question, F**K the Freeh Report and all of the other bullcrap stuff they are using as mask to try and cloud over this whole situation, but why, WHY, wouldn't Paterno stop this and turn him in? Why didn't McQueary physically intervene? Why didn't the Three Stooges go to the proper authorities. This was a crime, not an "internal matter" as so many like to say. But it happened within PSU, within the confines of the PSU football facilities as witnessed by a PSU football coach who reported it another football coach who just happened to be the Grand Effing Poobah, Jesus Christ himself, the Pope and the Don all wrapped in one person, Joe Paterno. And nothing happened. And more kids were victimized.
Why? Why didn't they act? It would have been so easy, oh sure some embarrassment for a period of time for Paterno and PSU, but nothing bad in terms of sanctions or lawsuits because they reported to the authorities. Why?
And.....almost 10 years later, when someone bravely and boldly (or did their job) step up and stop Sandusky from these actions and caused the State Police to finally launch an investigation that ended with a Grand Jury investigation and what looked like charges, the week before it all came down, Sandusky was a guest of Spanier in his box for JoePa's 409th win?
You can go into all the fine details and try and blur the lines, but the edges and lines are just too bold to try and blur and rough out. It was obvious to all what happened. The question that never has been answered is "why"? And that to me is or would be the most interesting aspect, but one that will likely never be answered. And I am betting the answer is something any PSU fan, alum, student etc....would never want to be found out.
