The Mess going on at Penn state Thread

[Mr. Sinister]

Life without the possibility of parole. That's what I want for Sandusky. Anything else and he's getting off easy, including the death penalty.

I want to know why the police close down the case in 1998 when they knew Sandusky took a shower with a kid and touching the boy.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the weird thing about this story is that the DA who chose not to prosecute Sandusky in 1998 and be missing since 2005 under very mysterious circumstances. I feel what's being revealed now is just the tip of the iceberg and it is going to be pretty damn big iceberg.

This is just the beginning. If the rumors of Penn. St. telling Sandusky to retire in return for a coverup and Sandusky was pimping out the boys to rich donors are true; this will be one of the biggest human tragedies ever and will bring down more people; not just former or soon to be former Penn. St. employees.

Some people in this thread have speculated Joe told the DA to go kill himself, so he did.

Pretty sure that was somebody who was mocking the ridiculous speculation that was going on.

Good Deadspin article on how many Pennsylvania youth Second Mile assisted in 2008 alone.

388,365. That's a lot of minors he had access to.

But Joe Paterno controls everything. He told the DA to dismiss then several years later told him to go off himself. That's how powerful Joe is in Central, PA. The mountains surrounding the campus, actually act like a satellite dish that focuses his power.

Pretty sure that was somebody who was mocking the ridiculous speculation that was going on.

Elessar has made some really good points, im not sure if he was being serious or not in the above post.

Ellesar has made very good points which is why when I first read it it threw me off. I don't think anybody ACTUALLY would believe JoePa has so much power that he could tell somebody to kill themself and they would. That's what led me to believe he was mocking all the conspiracy theories that were rampant at the time of his post.

Oh, and the last sentence about mountains acting like a satellite dish harnessing his power is the over-the-top giveaway.

Stay classy Brett.

That quote you had... I can't follow the source of the quote with all of the embedded twitter parlance.
Does that say that "Ben Jones 88" tweeted that, and "trenni" re-tweeted it? So, Ben Jones reported what the Wisc coach said?

This thing is far from being over.

Another Deadspin article about the Madden rumor regarding "pimping out" children. Mentions why people should be skeptical, but then why they shouldn't.

And now one reason there might be something—something—to this. Here's a text exchange I had with a journalist in Pittsburgh:

Him: FYI, he ain't bluffing here.

Me: How do you know?

Him: I don't know for sure. I just know he is confident in what he has.

Me: He's also a professional troll who loves attention. He's going on radio stations all over the country today.

Him: Separate his on-air persona with journalistic chops. Mark was a hell of a reporter. Don't dismiss him.

Me: We have the audio of his comments. He calls it a rumor.

Him: Fair. I know Mark well. I just have a very strong feeling he's not bluffing here.

This is the prostitution angle. Brooks has been on it all day.

As an aside, I don't understand that "life is worse than death penalty" rationale. Seems stupid to suggest life without parole is worse than execution. Do you think there's any convicts in prison for life saying "Execute me to release me from the agony of life"? Whereas there's plenty of lawyers arguing life for clients on death row.

All the protestors saying the death penalty is cruel and inhumane, why aren't they protesting against "life without parole" instead, if it's worse?

Where are all the protestors against "life without parole", if it's worse on a convict than death?

There's no blood on anyone's hand for life without parole.
