Cause he can take it?

already did. old faggot deserves it.

>using the dark knight quote

nope. batman would investigate.

I pity the guy and wish him well but I hate Penn State as a whole now.

he looks like a skeleton with skin thrown on and a big ol belleh xD

The fact that he is accepting the majority of all the bad press just proves that he loves penn state more than life itself. Jumping on the grenade for his beloved Nittany Lions.

The ultimate sacrifice.
The ultimate hero.
The ultimate coach.

>>16296514
i forgot about him already. he's nobody.

>>16296541
Wrong. Batman wouldn't rape a 10 year old boy, but he doesn't have to save him either.

>>16296575
>>implying Batman wouldn't save a 10 year old boy from being raped

>>16296575
Batman doesn't exist, dipshits.

>>16296575
chuckled hard.

brb, gonna watch batman begins while going to sleep tonight

>>16296589
He let his surrogate father die horribly.

>>16296610
And let the love of his life be exploded to save a some lawyer.

a hero is someone who pretends he doesn't see
a hero is someone who lets little boys be anally deflowered
a hero is someone who could have done something and didn't

Your logic is flawless, /sp/artans

I'd love to see him do the talkshow circuit and talk all kinds of shit before he dies.

>>16296624
At least he was doing something to help save lives. JoePa just sat around dreaming about 1986 with a 10 year old licking his dick with Sandusky stroking in the corner.

>>16296645
>a hero is someone who pretends he doesn't see

he didn't see, bro. he was told and that's not grounds for anything.

>>16297031

"grounds for" means nothing. If you hear of something this substantial, you do what you can to make sure it's investigated. Joe Paterno isn't a grand jury, he's a man, and as such, he doesn't need evidence to be concerned and active.

>>16297100

I'm sorry, dude, but you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. It's easy to say all this shit, but it's incredibly unrealistic.

He didn't fail anyone legally, morally or any other way. You think you know what you would have done or what should have been done, but you obviously have no real life experience.

Enjoying throwing stones out of your glass house.

>>16297180

>He didn't fail anyone legally, morally or any other way.

Legally, no. Morally, yes. He was told that some children were being sexually abused by his own staff members, and the best he could do was report it to his AD? Especially after nothing comes of that?

>You think you know what you would have done or what should have been done, but you obviously have no real life experience.

Nobody on this board has experience in a situation anywhere near this caliber. If we're invalidating opinions on that basis, there's absolutely no point to discussion.

>Enjoying throwing stones out of your glass house.

Why the hell are you being so hostile...?

>>16297232
>Why the hell are you being so hostile...?

Because you are being so unrealistic. I'm sorry, but for reasons I won't go into it's hard to take what you say seriously.

>Legally, no. Morally, yes. He was told that some children were being sexually abused by his own staff members, and the best he could do was report it to his AD? Especially after nothing comes of that?

He took the GA to the university and to College PD. Joe Paterno's "evidence" amounts to nothing.

It's easy to say Paterno should have gone to the police with his special knowledge, but in reality he had no "special knowledge". He had no evidence under state law. He had nothing. You realise that Sandusky was not a staff member either, right? He didn't work there anymore.

The only one who had evidence enough to start an investigation was the GA and, you know what, maybe Paterno did tell him to go to the police. We don't know anything.

This is a stupid situation full of assumptions about Paterno and also about Penn law and policing.

>>16297331

It wasn't ever about evidence. It was about hearing something horrible and doing everything in your power to see to it it's taken care of. Nobody catches wind of an awful crime and figures they shouldn't tell the authorities because they personally don't have the evidence to prosecute the alleged offender. At the very least, they hand it off to the police and see what they can do.

get off your high horse faggot.

exactly what he did do.

lol looks like you have no argument after all.

>>16297458

>get off your high horse faggot.

...no, I won't. And again, with the hostility.

>exactly what he did do.

Am I losing my mind? He took it to the AD and that was it, unless everything I've read has been incorrect.

>>16297403

He fucking did tell the authorities and it went nowhere. He would need the GA's co-operation and that might be enough to open an investigation.

I'm sorry, but this isn't based in any fact or even any experience. People always think if they saw a pedophile they would do a 360 super dragon kick and rip his heart out with their bare hands.

It's pure fantasy.

This whole situation is fucked up and I really feel that. I'm not an apologist or anything. I am just being realistic.

It's not what he was expected to do legally. He did what he was realistically expected to do as a human being. What a "reasonable person" would do (to use legal terms).

>Everyone's mad that he Paterno didn't pull out a gun and shoot the guy on the spot.

That's all.

>>16297504
>And again, with the hostility.

That wasn't me. This is me >>16297561.

Idk, personally, if someone I barely knew and told me that he saw any one of my good friends raping a kid in the shower, I would've laughed in his face.

>>16297689
he didnt even know it was rape

it sounds like he got a very vague explanation of what had happened

>>16297689
and after it was found to be real, you would've been fired and charged with some sort of negligence.
