OP, don't you have some news vans to turnover? I think I've seen West Virginia celebrate a win more destructively than you boylovers are "rioting" over your daddy getting fired.

>>16300724

Yep, didn't see them rioting and flipping over cars when they found out that old faggot was cave exploring on little boys.

Sure shows you their priorities.

so this is it, i finally see why liberals are retarded. i just can't support pedophiles...

guess i have to register as a republican now

Y'all niggas postin' in a troll thread.

the media is the source of all things wrong in this country: FACT

He was fired because of how visible of a figure he was for the university even though he played a very small role in all of this. He reported it to his superiors and then presumably kept doing his job of being a football coach, not an administrator. The administrators of Penn State were the ones charged in the case, THEY were the ones who didn't do anything.
This man who almost literally built your institution from a tiny agricultural school into one of the prominent universities in the country, gets thrown out on his ass so the board can look like they're trying to right something that can NEVER be righted.

>mfw there's a good chance OP was around 9-12 years old when Sandusky was raping kids

How does it feel to know JoePa would've let Sandusky shove his cock up your little boy anus?

I'm sure the football players now and in the future will be delighted to know that their locker room was used to rape little boys.

> rhythmic, slapping sound

>>16300640
>learn about child rape
>inform the appropriate authorites
>appropriate authorities do nothing

ftfy

btw I don't go to PSU or know anybody who does, but I noticed that McQueery still has a job, and the BoT was *really* quick to throw the absolutely least responsible party in the whole deal to the wolves (not that Paterno *shouldn't* have done more, but the media is acting like he and Sandusky double-teamed that kid in the shower)

>>16300773

What's crazy is the ENTIRE spectrum of the media was calling for his ousting.

Seriously, the poll on Fox Noise is 60% for him to be fired.

>>16300795

McQueary not being fired is bullshit. Everyone involved, JoePa included needs to go.

>being proud of going to Pedo State, where they let the kiddy fiddlers roam free

>going to a college with worse sexual abuse issues than the Catholic Church

ISHYGDDT

>You can all go suck a cock right now.

Poor choice of words OP.

>>16300795
>inform the appropriate authorites
Child rape does not fall under the Athletic Department jurisdiction.

>>16300795
Also, it's pretty clear McQueary downplayed the rape when he reported it to Paterno. People assume that what he said to the grand jury is exactly what he said to Paterno, when there is no evidence this was the case.

I don't get why people are so gung ho about Penn State anyway. Your team has been shit for years. You aren't relevant anymore. Who cares if your coach is gone?

>not betting against Penn State this weekend and making millions

thank you based pedophiles

There's something I don't understand.. WHY THE FUCK did the raped child not go to the police ?

>>16300836

>you go to the police and I will kill your famliy

problem solved

>>16300819
>Paterno met with Curley and, according to the grand jury summary, told the AD that the assistant had seen Sandusky "fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy."

Again, "fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy."

>>16300864

Trauma fucks people up. Victims don't want to talk about it/bring the memory back up.

>>16300864

shame

>>16300874
But once this came out, they do

>>16300836
The kids came from Sandusky's Second Mile program. It's a program for troubled youth with broken families. That's right, he set up a program to gain access to young ass.

>>16300874
Bitch please. Guy reported it to the police. They obviously spoke to the child etc. Seriously has said "child" not spoken yet ?

What bullshit is this ?

>blame the media for your iconic coach's complete and utter moral failures

i used to respect joe pa but this shit is disturbing. so much for the last pillar of virtue in the NCAA.

Even worse is that a guy witnessed it but he didn't even went to the police. Then everyone blame the coach. And said coach is fired.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you America ?

>>16300818
The AD was his immediate superior (legally defined as "appropriate authorities", and he also informed the campus president, who also is in charge of the campus police (who are legally police, no matter how much you want to pretend they're just mall cops), and at THAT point, Joe Paterno's legal responsibility ends.

We already know that Paterno did not know about any previous allegations pertaining to Sandusky, and we know that Sandusky was no longer an employee or co-worker of Paterno, so that his activities on campus were the AD's problem, not his.

The whole story just revolves around "PATERNOS A BIG NAME FOOTBALL COACH THEREFORE HE MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING" but it ignores how organizations actually work.

Believe it or not, most allegations of this type are handled in-house, with police involved as a last resort. Depending on the severity the person is just fired or transferred away from kids. This is because you don't have any evidence at that point that the person was buggering kids (assuming my suspicion is true that McQueary severely downplayed the event), so you want to make it so that IF something happened, then there's no opportunity for it to happen again, but you don't take punitive action until you know for a fact that something inappropriate happened.

>>16300914
The media turning against one guy

>>16300880

IIRC, the case that brought this all to light was one kid who told his parents and then the parents made the move. I'm not going to pretend what goes on in the head of a kid who just got raped, and I don't think you guys should either, but from everything I know about trauma the fear/shame stays with you for a long time. Other victims I guess found courage when they saw someone else step forward.

>>16300923

keep supporting pedophiles, faggot (literally)

Thanks, Penn State. My enjoyment of college football was already pretty tarnished from Auburn, USC, Ohio State, and Miami's bullshit, this pretty much kills it.

What's next? Will we find out Nick Saban is a serial killer?

>>16300923
>trying to absolve joePa of responsibility with a technicality

bitch, please

dude covered for his pervy buddy for 10+ years and let him back on campus to run youth football camps and fuck more boys in the shower

there is no way he is getting out of this clean. none.

>>16300923
but he still let the kiddy diddler hang around the campus.

>There's something I don't understand.. WHY THE FUCK did the raped child not go to the police ?

He got air jordans and eagles tickets

>>16300959
>Having any enjoyment of College Football

>>16300894
>hurr durr hindsight 20/20

He's a football coach, not an administrator. The administrators were the ones who didn't do anything and the administrators were the ones charged in the case.

yeah, well, this gets me excited about football again

>>16300984
and joepa didn't do shit either even though he is a god at penn state and knew all about it

how buttmad are you going to be when PSU gets the death penalty and joepa goes to jail? scale of 1-10

Oh and please, not like America has a pretty contraignant system. Diallo went to the police and 3 hours after DSK was in jail. Just because she went to the police. Then total protection from the media etc.

Does anyone call her a liar even when the case was thrown out ? You guess they don't.

Same shit here.

I really fail to see the logical chain making so that the coach is fired over sth which was not his responsability.

it was just a witch hunt

>>16300960

>>16301005
This was a point I was trying to make last night.

Thank you.

>>16300957
why do people resort to saying this? just because the word pedophile carries so much weight, you use it every chance you get. joe is not a pedophile. and nobody supports sandusky. so who is supporting a pedophile here?
You all just don't understand how a man who admittedly didn't do everything perfectly in this situation, but has done an overwhelming amount of good throughout his life, is being buried by the media for the sake of a story. And you're all eating it up. Why is Trevor Matich on espn telling me that they're all horrible and equally bad? Is he a moral authority? Dr. Phil's on CNN telling me this? For real? Dude's a second rate Jerry Springer. And you all just crucify him because of this instead of the guys who a)raped the kids b)witnessed the rape and c)were supposed to launch an investigation and didn't.
YES, JOE COULD HAVE DONE MORE. that does not mean he's a fucking monster. he did SOMETHING. there is no fucking cover up and there is no conspiracy involving joe.
inb4 somone responds with SHUT UP PEDO SUPPORTER

>>16300960
Joe Paterno does not decide who goes on campus and who doesn't.

Again, let's stop pretending that Joe Paterno has this godlike power to influence events in the institution, otherwise the BoT wouldn't have fired him in a newspaper article or something.

Sandusky being on campus and running those camps was the AD and College President's problem. Not Paterno's.

oh btw, Sandusky, as part of his retirement terms, was contractually entitled to use of the facilities.

So tl;dr

>paterno reported what mcqueary said to him
>curley/schultz were supposed to investigate
>they didn't
>they also didn't take steps to keep sandusky off the campus
>thus it's obviously paterno's fault

The only thing Paterno did wrong was not going over the heads of the bureaucracy to make sure the situation was handled appropriately, and I bet 99% of you fuckers would have done the same thing in that scenario.

>>16301027
he utterly failed in his responsibilities as a school employee to protect children from a child molestor, and yes PA has statutes on the books where if you know about this kind of abuse and don't do anything you go to jail

we can watch him try to squirm and his lawyer and PR guys try to spin him into a martyr, but the situation is that he was in a position of authority and trust and not only did not act, but actively tried to cover it up and thus enable this guy

the fact that you are defending him is pathetic, your hero joepa can't see you whiteknight him on the internet you know

In the end, does Paterno even do shit anymore? Isnt he just a figure head at this point?

oh but he did do something wrong, op. in this society and any other society, children are not to be messed with. he had to know what was happening with the defensive coordinator there's no way he couldn't have known and, he didn't take immediate action by going to the police. im just shocked that the ginger guy is still there.

>>16301039
if you think joepa didn't have to sign off on sanduskys youth football camp you are retarded, and morally bankrupt

you care so much about this iconic figure that the fact that he let his buddy fuck kids in the shower for 10 years is irrelevant to you

not surprising you get the filth of the internet on 4chan, enjoy being scum

>>16301054
HE DID ACT.
He told the people he was supposed to tell. The people who were in a position to act were the ones who didn't do anything. They were the ones charged with wrongdoing.

Joe is just in the unfortunate position to be a highly visible figure who had very little to do with the case and so the university can pretend like it's trying to right something that cannot be righted, they throw him out on his ass after all he's done and a squeeky clean record while the media demonizes him up and down.

>>16301026

The NCAA might look into it, but there will be no punishments. They can't put you on probation just because someone raped a kid on campus.

>>16301028
You're welcome.

>>16301071
that's not what penn staters are upset about
the riot was because all of this awful stuff happened, tons of people are to blame, but when you turn on espn or cnn or any channel, they're showing pictures, video, and debates and analysis of basically just one person, and that the board of trustees appeased these people.
penn staters are mad that he became the scapegoat for this entire crime. believe it or not, the students and alumni actually care about him. figurehead or not, he took all the blame here when he deserves a very small share, if any at all.

>>16301104

you have no idea what the NCAA can or can't do for what circumstances. something like this has never happened before.

other schools aren't going to want to be associated with this. the NCAA is going to want to distance themselves from the PSU football program. don't be surprised when there is no PSU/nebraska game this weekend

>>16301095
Exactly. Paterno controls everything football in the town. There is no youth football in State College because Paterno feels children shouldn't be playing before Junior High.

In 1998 Sandusky was accused of this. He got off but they still allowed him to have his child camps on campus. The GA then saw him in 2002 and told Paterno. He still had camps and was hanging around young children as late as 2009. Paterno had about 10 years to say 'hey jerry, enough with this kid crap'. He reported to his AD then never checked up on it. That's like saying 'Hey boss, I saw Jim in accounting touching boys from the day care next door. Take care of that K thx bye' he reported it to his AD so he can say 'but I reported it'. And for anyone who says he was 'just' a football coach, he ran that athletic department and could tell the president what to do.

>>16301102
you are totally wrong, you know nothing about this, and you are totally fucked in the head.

you want everyone crucified except joepa because you idolize him or some shit

let it go, he is a fucking monster for allowing this shit to happen

>>16301129
>he ran that athletic department

You're a god damn retard.

>>16301095
Other than conjecture and namecalling, where is the evidence of this?

It's like if a whistle blower reports a crime to his superiors, said superiors do nothing (even when they have the legal authority to investigate and act), then shit goes down even worse and we blame the whistleblower for not going directly to the cops.

>>16301158
until last week everyone "knew" that joepa ran everything and knew everything going on on campus

now it seems like he didn't run shit, had no power and was oblivious to everything going on around him

get your fucking head on straight, him and several other people are deliberately responsible for enabling a child molester

Look at the nose on that kike

Yeah, OP. Your argument is very convincing. especially when you end it with ""PENN STATE FOREVER! PATERNO FOREVER!"

Stop embarrassing your school, you idiot

impartial yuro here

considering that he's been THE authority figure at that university for some 40-odd years, and the paedo was let go in 99 after allegations were raised (despite being an apparently outstanding coach), he is MOST CERTAINLY at least liable if not criminally complicit in a conspiracy to conceal the truth.

sure, he didn't rape any kids and by the sounds of things he's earned the right to a fairer hearing than he got, but he HAD to go. not only did he have a notorious paedophile working for him, he acted in a way that suggests an attempt to cover it up and at a bare minimum suggests criminal negligence regarding some incredibly important accusations.

he sounds like a legend so it's a shame, but you can't let ANYONE get away with that. if it turned out that the reason united let quieroz go was because he was molesting our youth prospects i would ABSOLUTELY be calling for ferguson's head.

>>16301220

Telling the head of the local police about the incident suggests an attempt to cover it up?

Hey, the building is fire. I let management know so it's cool.

>>16301234
giving the primary witness to the crimes a cushy WR coaching gig sure seems to imply conspiracy

and the way that an up and coming HC prospect is unceremoniously fired and told to keep kids away from campus...

and he didn't really talk to police, he talked to a VP at the school who was in charge of financing

but noooo joe pa is a saint and a martyr

you disgust me

>>16301234
He didn't call the police. He told the athletic director and university vice-president.

>>16301220
I'm yurop neutral too. And my conclusion is viscerally different.

I am sick and tired of the fucking reporters playing God. They hit the school non-stop with calls for Paterno's firing because they decided he was to be their sacrificial lamb. They really don't care that he did exactly what he was supposed to do with reporting an ACCUSATION he did not witness to higher-ups for investigation since he did not witness anything at all.


Let Penn State burn. If they throw their people under the bus just because self-deifying reporters command such then they deserve neither faculty nor staff

>>16301265
i'm sick of people whiteknighting a monster like paterno

he let his buddy fuck kiddies in the shower for 10+ years, and you're okay with that and think he should still have a job

>>16301265
>They hit the school non-stop with calls for Paterno's firing

You apparently were not actually following this story before /sp/ freaked out about the firing. That didn't happen.

>>16301158
> hey JoePa, maybe you should step down. You're getting up there in age and we should work on moving along
> nope lol, I stay as figurehead coach even though I don't recruit or do anything relatively important anymore.

>mods deleting threads that they don't agree with

>implying it wasn't consensual

this situation is no different than the sluts who claim rape the morning after sleeping with some dude

>>16301316
>this situations is no different to date rape

explain?

>rhythmic slapping sounds

>>16301256
The university VP RUNS local police, dipshit.

For all intents and purposes, what Paterno did was like calling the local sheriff and telling him "my GA just told me my former assistant was messing with boys in the shower, can you look into it?" and then the sherriff coming back with "Nah, nothing bad happened, its cool".

>>16301325
>dude sticks his penis in someone's mouth
>they don't bite

I can't believe this hasn't been done yet, but requesting a scumbag joe paterno.

>>16301352
so why'd they let sandusky go?

THAT's why i think it looks like a cover-up

>>16301367

Because they covered it up. Not Paterno.

your student bodyl is now the laughingstock of our country and an embarassment to our country on an international scale

they protested, by the thousands, the firing of a man who knowingly harbored child rapists

your display last night and this thread are both shameful

>>16301391
This, how anyone can see this differently is beyond me

>>16301382
yeah the head coach who's been there for 40 years and is regarded as one of the most powerful men in the state, let alone the university, didn't have a say in them firing his assistant coach and wasn't given an explanation

sure...

pic related, maybe if you lean forward a bit more you'll be able to touch them

OP there is no excuse.

>>16301352
>be at school
>see teacher raping student
>tell police officer
>he does nothing
>go about business as usual

that seems normal to you?
i wonder how youd feel if it was your child that had been raped

>>16301431
probably honoured that his kid had been chosen by the staff of his favourite university

>graduate assistant sees former coach fucking kid in shower
>tells his daddy and the head coach

Why the fuck isn't this guy fired for "not informing the proper authorities?"

TROLLED HARD

FUCK YOU ARE ALL SO DUMB

>>16301438
why hasn't he been lynched for not fucking stopping the actual rape that he actually witnessed?

>>16301431

He didn't witness it. McQueary claimed to have witnessed it, but Paterno had no way of knowing whether or not it happened for certain. What would you do if the head of the local police decided not to press charges on a person for something you didn't directly witness? Would you just assume they're covering something up and go vigilante?

>>16301460
see>>16301367

What if Sandusky was innocent? He entered a plea of not guilty.

>>16301476

Paterno didn't conduct an investigation into the matter. He told the head of police and let him conduct an investigation, as he should have. I guess he's stupid for trusting the head of the local fucking police instead of a graduate assistant.

>>16301460
so they could do nothing because theyre not sure what happened or who to believe, yet for some strange, unrelated and coincidental reason, they ban him from campus

>HE DIDNT RAPE LITTLE KIDS
>HE JUST LOOKED THE OTHER WAY WHILE HIS STAFF RAPED LITTLE KIDS
this is now and will be for some time how people perceive penn state and paterno's legacy

and to think how it would be different if the student body, unlike its board of trustees, accepted the wrong and moved forward rather than white knighting a man whose only defense is "but it wasnt necessarily illegal"

>>16301496
probably isn't, but if he's found not guilty you know nobody will care

>>16301497
agreed, but then see >>16301404

you cannot honestly expect anyone to believe he didn't know ANYTHING

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/documents/sandusky-grand-jury-report11052011.html

If you haven't read it yet...

>>16301517

>>16301497
so he either never followed up with the investigation, which is bad because it shows how concerned he is with his staff raping children, or did follow uo, which leads to even worse speculation

>>16300630
>not reporting child abuse to the cops immediately
>didnt do anything wrong

rofl this guy

>>16301501
Because that's how it WORKS in cases like this, dumbfuck. If you're not sure about what happened, you ban him from a place where something that you suspect may happened might happen again, just to be on the safe side.

There's a huge gap between "We're not sure what happened but just to be safe, you can't go into the showers at night anymore" and "FUCKING PEDO RAPIST WERE GETTING THE COPS ON YOU RIGHT NOW"

Again, hindsight is 20/20.

>defending joe paterno on the internet
>2011

is it just me or is anyone else increasingly thinking that paterno was probably raping kids too?

i can't see why else you'd protect a pedophile

>>16301539
>There's a huge gap between "We're not sure what happened but just to be safe, you can't go into the showers at night anymore" and "FUCKING PEDO RAPIST WERE GETTING THE COPS ON YOU RIGHT NOW"

Yes, that gap is called responsible action

If you think he's innocent, you don't ban him from the showers. If you think he's guilty you call the fucking police.

>>16301546

>protecting a pedophile
>reporting him to the police

pick one

>>16301557

>you call the fucking police

It's a good thing that that's exactly what Joe Paterno did.

>Mfw there are more reports on the way that will truely shock the public

>>16301546

This post is exactly why I am so mad about this shit.

None of you fuckers look past the headlines, you just react. I'm surprised you were even able to realize Paterno wasn't the one raping the kids, that at least puts you ahead of the curve.

Anyone thinking that there's some media conspiracy to get him fired is stupid as shit. Paterno was gold for the media. Any time he was having trouble coaching from the sidelines or someone implied that he was old, there would be stories all over the place about it. At the beginning of every year, there were always big topics on college football about whether or not it would be Paterno's last year coaching. There are people who watched Penn State games, even when they weren't at the top of the rankings, just because of Joe Pa.

This whole situation would have still been a huge media story without him leaving, and if Paterno had stayed, it would have lasted longer because the media could have kept speculating about when he would retire and what effect this case would have had on his decision. But now, since he's leaving while the story is still going, the media is in the uncomfortable position of reporting on "Joe's Legacy" and reporting on sexual abuse at the same time. Before too long, people won't be interested anymore, and the only relevant story will be about "finding Joe's replacement." There's no reason to believe that the media has any agenda about Joe's firing, especially when him staying has more of a storyline.

The university did what was in its best interest, which was to try and distance itself and its athletes from the people involved in the actual investigation. Head coaches almost always leave when their programs are the subjects of investigations. In this case, letting go of a coach who is near the end of his career before he could be dragged down more by controversy was an obvious decision.

But it's really easy for everyone to go HUUUURRRR BLAME THE MEDIA THEY'RE ALL TERRIBLE AND PROBABLY CHILD RAPISTS THEMSELVES ANYWAYS.

>>16301539
thankfully nobody entrusts you with their children

and, how it works is:
you hear of an old man with a young child who is not his family in the shower, alone, unsupervised, and in otherwise concerning circumstances. we know it was troublesome because of how many peiple told other people

that alone is sufficient for probable cause to haul that man down to the station for questioning

instead of calling 911, we told a police bureaucrat, kept it in house, and said "look don't come around here anymore. you wanna do what you do, fine. just not around here"

there isnt one way it works. we just know the way paterno, the president and administration chose to go with, and what the board of trustees thought of that course of action

>>16301598
>wasn't the one raping kids

but he probably was?

why are you still defending someone who is probably a molester and might even be a full-blown pedophile? at the very least he's an accomplice to childrape

I'm glad you know how to spot a corrupt cop on sight. In the future, they should just ask you which heads of police are okay to go to with criminal allegations.

[spoiler]Granted, it's more an issue of "gee I hope they don't get pissed at me for getting Paterno fired" but clearly they see the firing as an issue of covering the BoT's ass than any attempt at justice. I think it's pretty clear that the victims and their counsel didn't want Paterno fired, which seems to suggest that they do not think he should be held as "the most responsible" for what happened[/spoiler]
