Jerry Sandusky is a serial rapist with over 40 counts of rape he should be killed

I agree with this statement
Simple logic, you see a dude raping a kid you stop him and call the cops, if you don't do that then you are just as guilty

Well said my friend.Simple logic, you see a dude raping a kid you stop him and call the cops, if you don't do that then you are just as guilty
Can someone bring me up to date, this news hasn't made it over the pond.

Paterno reported Sandusky to the AD and campus police, just saying.
My mistake. Paterno reported the incident to Gary Schultz, who had the campus police budget under his purview, but he was not the head of campus police.

only in your country.
Not really only in ours. In other countries it can be worse. For instance countries where it is considered the fault of the person who is raped that they were raped and not the rapist themselves. It's definitely not only in our countries it just tends not to be reported as much in other countries.
@KainScion: Berlusconi hired underage prostitutes, Catholic church all over the world rapes young boys so not only in our country. Its more shocking in the US because people don't generally stick up for them and in the prison system they are killed by fellow inmates.

Paterno was used as the fall guy.He got fired for not "doing more" but I haven't heard much about Sandusky who was doing the rapes himself or the Penn State Officials that were notified about Sandusky before hand and they did nothing.Peterno shouldn't have had to snitch on Sandusky.It should have been handled when it was brought to their attention in the first place.

Agreed.
@Man Without Fear: The whole damn staff should be in prison, the fact is they all knew what Sandusky was doing and they all turned a blind eye to it and allowed him to continue doing it for 9 years regardless of who he reported it to when he realized that nothing was being done about it he should have taken some initiative and done something himself at the very least he could've fired the guy. I'm no expert but I believe child rape is a valid reason to fire someone and if it isn't I don't really want to be a part of this species anymore

This.

You're exactly right, this is exactly what you do. ^
Penn State Football/athletic dept. is no different than any other big organization when it comes to this kind of thing. The government, the Catholic Church, corporations, political parties, etc.; They all try to cover up any and every despicable act they are or may be responsible for in an effort to keep their positions of power, their influence, future job/financial opportunities coming and to keep their reputations from suffering. For these, and possibly other, reasons some people will allow any kind of behavior, but there is no acceptable reason for allowing this to happen. Not now. Not ever.
To hell with McQuery, Paterno, Spanier and everyone else who was part of this cover-up and to hell with Sandusky for doing the things he did. I hope they're all racked with guilt for, and haunted by, their actions and in-actions for the rest of their miserable lives.
I'm not arguing with any of this. I'm just saying that Paterno's hand in this is part of a larger issue but he seems to be the one getting all the heat from the incident although the higher ups already knew what was happening and Sandusky was the one who was raping kids.@Man Without Fear: The whole damn staff should be in prison, the fact is they all knew what Sandusky was doing and they all turned a blind eye to it and allowed him to continue doing it for 9 years regardless of who he reported it to when he realized that nothing was being done about it he should have taken some initiative and done something himself at the very least he could've fired the guy.

we need people to step their game up, seriously, rather win a game than report a molester?
Fckin PATHETIC
There's been a lot of raping in athletics in general, quite frankly. If it happens in Hollywood like Roman Polanski there's a lot more controversy but it's interesting we don't hold athletes or those involved with the industry to higher standards. It's all pretty bloodless, maybe not in the case of Penn State specifically, but people are so loyal to these teams of men whose only loyalty to that city is usually monetary gain and can easily be swayed by a bigger asking price. I have no idea why people get so invested.
And they call us Miami Hurricanes dirty!

Ridiculous. I digress that sexual openness and taking it seriously rather than acting like it's something nonexistent in America would keep incidents like this from being taken so lightly.
@HexThis: I followed Romans case pretty hard, right down to the transcripts of the court cases and can honestly say two things.
1. Polanski himself made the media circus out of his own crime that it became, partly due to his exact words said in the case itself and the details herein. In retrospect while that was going on, the case of Jeffrey Jones went fairly unnoticed.
2. The cases with athletes are made a big deal of, take Michael Vick for example. It's a matter of what news your paying attention to. Like I personally I know next to nothing about the one at hand here, and that's because I pay little attention to sports, much less I'm of the fact that I already know there's some stigma where athletes are attached to breaking code of ethics in high regard, so I don't really need a reminder, much less to read the details and make my own self sick over it.
----
If true personally I hope this is more or less the conviction itself rolling through due process and an outcome is still to come, one that gives the victim a piece of mind, but like I said athletes being able to bypass certain codes in society seems sadly so commonplace it's had to believe it will.
As for fans supporting their player, and I've seen that enough before, your still a fan of your sport even if you shun the actions of a player, period. It would be no different than shunning them for cheating, which I know you all do. At worst, don't sound foolish enough to not be in admittance that what they've done is wrong. Say at least they screwed up and should have known better if you care for them on whatever level, but don't just excuse it. It makes you look ignorant, and it makes the franchise itself look worse by proxy. As for this player, I hope it's due process and nothing more than the franchise trying to get his conviction of the radar as not to turn the whole sport itself into a pariah by association. No on should be able to get away with harming, abusing, raping or murdering anyone, lest of all a child, period. Sadly the largest culprit is the United States legal system, which is overly abundant in it's own details to the point of being convoluted and the law itself holding little meaning anymore, and in immediate need of heavy, heavy, heavy reform. And with Saturn here, I'm not sure if it's right or wrong per say, but if this happened to someone I care about I'd enact natural justice in an extreme fashion (probable something a little more intimate then a bullet for me though).
Took you guys long enough to make a thread about this.
This is bananas. Where is the common sense in this case? I mean really, if you know a guys raping kids why wouldn't you say anything. What if that was his child or grandchild being raped?
His interview on NBC(think that is where I saw it) was absolutely sickening...go youtube it and watch when Bob Costas asks him if he was sexually attracted to boys, and he has trouble answering the question out right, and he straight admitted to showering with them and "horse playing" whatever that is......such a sad story, what a sad end for a program, and a coach who we all thought had a proud tradition filled with honor, and doing things the right way. Turns out they had worse skeletons in the closet than any of the other college football program scandals that came out in the last couple years. Suddenly paying some players to play football, or them selling their own memrobelia, just does not seem that bad.......
