This is one of those situations that angers me. This destroyed Paterno and I truly believe led to his death. So many people criticized him, but he was a military man, you tell your supervisor and you don’t jump the line. Plus it couldn’t have been a fun, comfortable experience for him. He probably wanted nothing to do with it and I guarantee there’s many many people who would’ve acted just the same. He did was he needed to. The rest of them failed the system.

So, with a crowd around me, i walked up to introduce myself and ask her if she wanted to say anything to my face after all she'd said on RAMD....and she surried away. so all day at prelims, any time anyone from my group saw her, they'd tell her where my seats were, and she'd just scurry away. I’m patient. It will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor old Joe got caught in the cogs. The university President certainly deserved the axe as did the AD. But he followed the chain of command and got the ultimate punishment for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the bare minimum. Some of us would have gone to ‘the authorities’ if those were reported to did nothing. There were children being R’d. If he had followed through he would be remembered far better. Edited May 10 by IllianaLancerContra Further pontificating 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always recommend bypassing the reporting mechanism of DCI and safesport and going right to the police. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that is one of the reasons why PA now has mandated reporting. Supposedly Sandusky was banned from using PSU facilities but people still saw him there (did he still have keys?) and said nothing. How many times has a corps person said they saw a reported abuser working with other corps. (Trying to keep this on topic but as a local lot of the PSU details burn me) Just a personal sore spot as reported possible security violation to my boss and nothing done. Went back to him later and found there was an ongoing investigation so don’t say anything. Yeah I did more than bare minimum and went back.

PSU did more than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially important to do this if it happens on tour. Jurisdiction where offense happened is where it is prosecuted. That said - the PSU athletic facilities weren’t moving Edited May 10 by IllianaLancerContra 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put my head down and didn’t rock the boat. There’s probably enough guilt to go around over the decades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
