JoePa/Washington Post article is up...

in a knee-jerk reaction. I don’t think Santorum is a dick. I think he’s wrong on some issues, but I’m getting especially sensitive to the whole line of attack of “Why are you scum-sucking Republican Nazi’s so uncivil?” coming out of much of the left and media today. I should have thought before posting though. My apologies.

1. That’s my old man you’re talking to.
2. He can defend himself, but it was kind of an inside joke.

I am getting all emotional again. I have this dreadful feeling Joe wanted this interview on record before he takes over for Vince Lombardi as HC of God’s football team.

You’ve succinctly stated what I’ve been formulating nebulously in my mind for a while now.

and think that an investigation should be much more thoroughly carried out. Maybe they are right, but there is a limit to how thorough one should be. The question is, for the average person in JoePa’s situation (without holding him to a higher standard), did he do enough?

Even if the ultimate mistake was that Gary Schultz and Tim Curley didn’t properly investigate, it is then, retroactively, a mistake for Joe to have gone to them (if that makes any sense). Maybe mistake isn’t the best word to use, but it was ultimately the wrong decision.

but I don’t think that’s the sole source of my moral code, since I was pretty fucking disgusted with their own scandal and the shameful behavior from apologists who tried to make it all about homosexuality instead about bad actors in the church hierarchy.

I see some difference between a child and an adult victim. McQueary should still have stopped it in both cases.

He’s said, about everything, from the beginning (and again in the video when asked about Sandusky), “Let the facts play out. Let the legal system run its course.” (paraphrasing)

Which, indeed, is what we should all be doing. We are so far (unfortunately) from this thing being finished. And for many, even at the end of the trials, this will never be ‘over’.

Sorry if I misunderstood your last comment ppfcpp.

I’ve already put most of the transcript into 200 images.

I know they informed Mike that they had notified Second Mile which I think was the appropriate thing
Jack Raykovitz had a mom complain in 98
and he had Curley tell him about the ban and the 2002 shower incident
Raykovitz then knew two of his Second Mile kids had showered with his friend JS causing problems for Second Mile. I don’t know how he could have ignored that problem. If I were he I would have immediately looked for other boys that JS was paying close attention to and asked their parent or foster parent about it in order to head off these problems

But the AG told Raykovitz that 2nd Mile wasn’t being investigated???
This was clearly a problem more for Second Mile than Penn State
So they donated 25 grand to AG running for Gov Corbett

That is extremely suspicious given that he could have charged JS in 2008 when victim one came forward but he did not and 3 years passed

Between 2002 and 2011 Second Mile took in 24 million dollars and Raykovitz and his wife made 2 million – we don’t know who else profited from Second Mile except the Gov who got at least 25 K

That will lay out my case against the Attorney Generals and Second Mile for their part in extending this horror story while blaming Penn State as a distraction.

Second Mile was a very lucrative charity with 10 million in assets and 2.7 million per year in revenues. Jerry Sandusky was most closely identified with Second Mile and his friend Jack Raykovitz was the exec director and there seems to have been a very cozy relationship with Gov Corbett who was the AG in 08.

This is where I think the real problem lies because Second Mile had the resources and the personnel to do an internal investigation of JS based on the showering complaints of 98 and 2002.
The haven’t really even been mentioned by the AG in this and that’s very bizarre since Second Mile was the hunting ground for Sandusky.

Second Mile is a lot more culpable than Penn State in this situation
Penn State was trying to help Second Mile by providing facilities and PSU got screwed because 2nd Mile failed to check out what Sandusky was doing with Second Mile kids.

I type faster than i think maybe
