Does it make you sick that the Penn State students and staff are defending Joe Pa?

Question

Watever happened to morals? Seriously they are acting like this man has died. I have some friends that go to Penn State and all i see on facebook about how much they love Joe Pa and blaming the board for firing him. This isn't about Joe Pa this is about the victims who suffered greatly at the hands of that sicko Jerry Sandusky as Joe Pa. I bet you if Joe Pa was black students would be furious.

Answer 1

A man who has sex with boys, especially anal sex, is called a pederast. The scandal involving the pederast Jerry Sandusky shouldn't surprise anyone. After all, Pres. Obama knowingly appointed a pederast-activist, Kevin Jennings, as the official U.S. "Safe Schools Czar". Thanks to Jennings, all California public schools are now required to ENCOURAGE homosexuality, in every subject, at every grade level from kindergarten on up, in the guise of fighting prejudice (and he's pressuring other states to accept similar requirements or lose federal funding). Yet Jennings has done nothing to fight drugs, gangs, or racism in America's schools.

Answer 2

Yes, it is a tragedy that when Joe Paterno brought this to the attention of campus police and the Penn State admnistration that they did nothing to protect the innocent children. However, that does not mean you blame everyone within earshot. I don't see anything in the grand jury report which implicates Joe Paterno but I do see plenty which implicates McQueary, yet the board of trustees sees fit to allow McQueary to remain yet fire Joe. If you have the facts surrounding what Joe P did to ignore this problem, put them on the table. I bet that you can't. I bet you simply have conjecture. Notice the lawyers have put a virtual gag order on Joe. Let us see what Joe has to say and let us look at the facts vs. Conjecture before we implicate this man. So lay out the facts and the timeline, including who knew what when, and name every point in time where Joe failed to do what was required. I want statements of fact only. You seem to be saying that whenever there are victims, blame everyone first.

Answer 3

I guess they have a right to their opinions but when they start vandalizing property it's time to identify them and kick them out school permanently. They are just making a bad situation worse with their mob mentality ignorance. Do you suppose that if they were one of the kids forced against a shower room wall and getting raped that they might see things a little different.

Answer 4

The reason why they are defending him is simple "Its so hard to do whats right". Knowing the man, Im sure plenty of the students KNEW the morals he held, they also know there are times in life where they had to make hard decisions. Yes EVERYONE does not condone his activities, but that's why people are so bent out of shape is because they are not forgiving. The students and staff obviously are. That's a trait that our higher beings instills in us through their very actions, practice forgiveness, and still many don't carry it out. Yet they WILL seek forgiveness when they are in similar predicaments, no one is quite honest all the time.

Answer 5

These are all knuckleheads that have not actually read the indictment. They are going off one story of what a subordinate saw in the shower. If people actually read about the years of turning a blind eye and what happened over the course of years they might think differently.



Anyone who supports him I would venture to say does not have children.

Answer 6

what happened to morals? what happened to inocent until proven guilty? i agree and not debating he shouldve done more. but getting cut when he was the only one who did the right thing legally and getting the brunt of it makes me sick. listen, i'll tell you a secret: i have ocd. i have never told anyone. but its true. my point in telling you is that its a panic disorder and virtually every minute of every day, i am in some sort of pain about things i havent even done. im just talking about things simple and stupid to the point where i could rip out my hair. i could only imagine how insane i would go if i would be blamed for something i probably "shouldve done" rather than people pointing out the thing i legally done. now, it may be an overreaction, but that hits home for me because i know what its like to do the right thing yet feel so crappy that i did the right thing and still felt or accused of doing the wrong thing. and what makes me even more sick to my stomach really is how people would claim they would do the right thing in that situation by telling the police. now, i get thats the right thing to do and people would want to and try to, but ive seen society way to long that a good 95% of us arent saints and wouldnt do the right thing.



edit: and yet, we blame someone who legally did the right thing more than the people who broke the law or legally shouldve done more. to me thats just ignorant and it just says that our society is just about who to blame when something goes wrong and cop out by firing everyone and taking the easy way out instead of trying fix the problem. we always talk about how people should do the right thing yet instead of blaming others for not, why dont we as people try to do what we say?

Answer 7

YES.



This is the perfect example of how fvcked up America is regarding "sports". Anybody involved in any way with "sports" gets away with murder. And pedophilia, apparently.



The guy who got fired SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE POLICE to report the incident which occurred in the locker room -- and he did not.



Why on earth WOULDN'T they have fired him when all this came to light?



Don't the parents want their kids to be safe when they're away at college? The PARENTS of those kids rioting should all get together and withdraw their funding of the kids' college privileges. Send 'em home. Ground 'em.

Answer 8

I do not follow college football really, but I am from the Penn State area originally. Like it was said in articles Joe did what he was suppose to do, he notified those higher up what was going on. It was there job to notify the law....and they did not do so. So why should Joe get all the blame. I feel they are responsible for it going on as long as it did.

Answer 9

I can honestly say I'm as much against pedophilia as anyone. But I have no problem in this situation with students, the community, his players (the people who know him best) supporting him right now.

Answer 10

Yep, they will ALWAYS be Pedo State University to me, I can't believe they are not disgusted with all of the dirtbags who knew and did nothing.

Answer 11

Ped State students are PRO-Child abuse and therefore PRO-Pedterno and staff...

Answer 12

Very.
