Re: Breaking: Joe Paterno is in serious condition
if you want to use the "innocent until proven guilty" argument, who decides if he's innocent? certainly not joe, and not really any of his superiors either.
rape allegations are one of those things where you snap call the police no matter what. the official police, not your boss slash "state certified police chief." you can believe he's innocent, but that isn't something for you to decide, that's for the police to decide.
not following up or being more involved while the act continues to take place IS enabling.
he certainly isn't the only one who deserves blame. but he was the first person with authority that became aware of the situation and he didn't do what any human being with morals would do - alert the damn police.
hell, even saying you "hope the cunt rots" != saying he deserves it (tho it's obv closer, but this was only said by 1 person anyway)

saying you have no sympathy != saying he deserves ita man is dying, he is losing his life to cancer, and there are people in this world, on this board that think he deserves it? for shame. there are very few people who you can make an argument for that deserve death, and joepa while having made a mistake does not even get close to entering the category of deserving death. you can argue all you want, but when push comes to shove joepa wasnt the one that was raping kids, and a whole lot of people are missing that right now.
