JoPa is taking the brunt of the beating it seems. Let's remember that, for now, he never witnessed anything. The incident was only reported to him.
He took it to the next level, which was appropriate since he was not an eye witness. I, myself, wouldn't have been able to work next to Sandusky
without puking on him. But, here on ATS, we know rumors abound and being the receiver of information puts one in a curious spot. Do you assume it's
true and lead the march or pass the info on and stay out of it?
The man who witnessed the rape should've went to the police. Penn State's President should've gone to the police once Paterno notified him.
Then, let's also look at the missing (declared dead) DA that chose not to prosecute Sandusky in 1998. There is a lot more to this story. It seems as
though maybe the Pennsylvanian justice department is putting a lot of weight on Paterno to keep the eyes away from them because he is the most
powerful man involved right now. Someone very high up in LE and the justice department knew what was going on and these are the sole individuals that
the iron needs to be taken to. We may even get to see some judges and high level law enforcement officials getting outed as more information comes to
light.
If I were JoPa, I'm not sure how I would've acted. Had I witnessed the rape, I know I would've gone to the police instead of pussy footing around
by passing the info on to my colleages. Receiving information about a serious crime when you didn't witness it is a bad spot to be in. He passed it
on to a higher authority thinking it was the right thing and now has to pay for his decision. Considering JoPa's reputation, if I were the President
of the school and he came to me with this information, I'd take him seriously and do my due diligence to make sure things were handled correctly. I
don't understand why JoPa is getting more heat than the man who was running the entire college.
Now, let's keep our focus on those who had direct knowledge of the crimes such as Sandusky, the one who witnessed the rape, the Penn State Pres., the
PA district attorney's office, parents of the victims, and any other LE who knew and chose to turn a blind eye and deaf ear.
It's a very sad time for many right now (especially the victims) and we must remember to direct our anger towards the most guilty parties.
