Maybe you should learn about marital privelege and hearsay.

This has moved well past just past the single incident in the shower to what they observed and knew about Sandusky's behavior overall.

Re: Sandusky/Penn State scandal
IMO, the attitudes expressed here exactly match the attitudes of your average lynch mob. The fact that nobody actually put a rope around Paterno's neck doesn't change that. All of you baying for the coach's head had no interest whatsoever in hearing his side of the story. And you think that's justified in this case. Well, h*ll, that Till boy whistled at a white woman.

So the cops are just supposed to assume that she'd invoke marital privilege without even bothering to talk to her? Maybe her conscience would have re-awakened at some point, too.
Re: Sandusky/Penn State scandal
And you seriously think interrogating the wives would help here?

Re: Sandusky/Penn State scandal
Yeah. Maybe they could taze her to loosen her up. Cuffs for sure. Are you people even paying attention to what you're saying? This is crazy.

Nice to see people are keeping this thread focused where it should be.

Re: Sandusky/Penn State scandal
I am, but it seems that you're having a hard time paying attention. Where did anyone say to cuff or taze their wives? We've just said "interview" for goodness sake.

Back to the issues. I saw OTL and they had Sheldon Kennedy on there. He offered a lot of perspective on this issue.

Your opinion is that people who have expressed their belief that a still-alive Joe Paterno's actions (which are facts) are morally reprehensible while still technically within the letter of the law are on par with people who publically murdered black people out of sheer hatred.
Is that really something behind which you would stand? Really? You would trivialize disgusting hate crimes in that way? Are you Strom Thurmond Jr or something?

Re: Sandusky/Penn State scandal
I keep forgetting I'm dealing with literal minded people. Those references were hyperbole. But I'm guessing you knew that and just needed to spout some more. Admit it.

Re: Sandusky/Penn State scandal
yes, of course. we are all free to blather away on this board. on issues important or not.
Pio, I'm just a hair left of self-righteous conservative myself. I believe in all the conservative values of free speech, free markets, less government, etc etc.
but this is wrong. and wrong is wrong, no matter how its wrapped. Paterno was wrong. the Prez, the AD, the GA, the board, yes, even Sandusky's wife if she knew - wrong wrong wrong. these people had a moral choice, a moral imperative and they made the wrong choice. to hell with all of them. I have a whole lot more sympathy for the victims than for anyone involved in this. even the janitor who was so cowed by the great Paterno myth that he reported it to his supervisor but so no reason to report it as a crime. and to be defending these moral corrupt people ... you should be ashamed.

Re: Sandusky/Penn State scandal
So, you are saying white people who hated and killed black people for no reason have the same attitude as people who find a cover-up of multiple acts of child predation morally reprehensible while in no way advocating Joe Paterno be physically injured or killed. We all understand what you're saying.

Re: Sandusky/Penn State scandal
The attitudes are the same. And you can always count on sombody accusing me of racism. Sort of a requirement, isn't it?
