It makes naive bumpkins complicit through cheap inducements such as the reflected Glory of Old State".<br /><br />And there are tens of millions of these willingly blind accomplices to keep the lid on it all. I should know. I'm married to one.The Spirit of 1776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-47237576603377873412011-11-13T21:35:29.087-05:002011-11-13T21:35:29.087-05:00Well said, Graybeard.

Personally, I think firearm involvement might eclipse the horrendous act.<br /><br />My first thought would have been: There has to be a baseball bat in this building...back of thru head--done.

Perhaps to be used in a similar fashion himself by the staff at whatever institution he would have been housed in.<br /><br />Oh, hell. I would simply have beaten him to death with whatever came to hand. I wouldn't have had the self-control to do otherwise. The thought that he set up what was supposed to be a shelter for those boys but for the purpose of creating a pool of victims instead leaves me enraged.Reg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-38606374928099319782011-11-13T20:17:10.683-05:002011-11-13T20:17:10.683-05:00Sounds like we're all on the same page.

Perhaps the kids were sacrificed to save Joe's reputation - IIRC, he was still trying to outlast Bobby Bowden to become the winningest coach in college football history when this all went down. The end result will be that his reputation will be ruined due to their combined stupidities. <br /><br />Instead of being remembered as a guy who worked his life to turn boys into honorable men, he'll be remembered as a guy who let men prey on boys.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-1410311525966348382011-11-13T18:39:42.143-05:002011-11-13T18:39:42.143-05:00I told my wife the same thing...

McCreary should have picked up a fire extinguisher and cracked Sandusky's head open like a melon.<br /><br />And I read Mike's piece over at SSI today, and basically had come to the same conclusion: the kid (several of them, I guess) was expendable in order to protect the collective reputation of the institution.<br /><br />And the Penn State students got all bent out of shape and rioted and attacked a news truck for daring to expose their dirty little secret. Some of them will have to explain this to THEIR kids someday.gatorhttp://gatorinthedesert.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-31711113791145385522011-11-13T18:26:51.946-05:002011-11-13T18:26:51.946-05:00I suspect there are additional rocks waiting to be...I suspect there are additional rocks waiting to be turned over, some at Penn State, some elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
