And here we go.

When I hear or see felonies being committed, I just skip calling the police and call my boss like any gayberg would.

Why is everyone so mad at Joe Pa for reporting a rumor to his supervisors?

as head of the program, Paterno was not only in a position where he had to report to his superiors, but also in a position where he needed to follow up on it.

ALL felonies? Or just child rape?

What felonies did Paterno witness? None.
What felonies did Paterno hear about? One that was told to him by a timid ginger that let it happen. Then went home shortly after and told his dad about what he had seen.

Hearsay and rumor doesn't equal fact. Gingers can't be trusted to give accurate information.

It's awful that your entire argument is based of the wrong idea that gingers can't be trusted

Personally, I think that Joe is vilified to an absurd degree, as if he witnessed the act himself and did nothing about it. Did he do what he morally should have? No, he didn't. He did report the allegations (and remember, this was all just an allegation about a man he haddock known for years) to his superiors, which again, was a mistake, but not one that should earn him the title of a rape enabler.

[haveacigar]

Unless that mistake was one that enabled rape.

If Joe Paterno isn't a beloved figure with 400+ football wins and a legendary background, this isn't even being debated. Todd Graham wouldn't get the enormous benefit of the doubt that's being afforded to Paterno.

Personally, I wouldn't take this to the cops either. If that ***** mcqueary came to me and said:

"I walked in the shower room and I felt weird about Sandusky in there with a little boy. I went home and talked to my dad about it and he said talk to you."

I'd do the same as Peterno. Go to my superiors. The cops, if told that story by a 3rd party would have said "Kthxbai!". Maybe they do a little poke and prod. Maybe something comes out, maybe not too.

Now, if that ***** mcqueary came to me and said:

"I saw Sandusky ****ing a little boy up the ass. Being I'm younger, stronger than Sandusky and an ex-college football player I could have stopped it but I did not. I went home and told my dad. Now Im telling you."

I'd stab mcqueary in the neck with a pencil and break it off then piss on his corpse. Then I'd complete a series of heroic actions that wins the day and saves everyone. Then burn the gingers body so that it doesn't spawn more of the evil creatures.

I'm not entirely sure whether or not you're being serious, but we have Joe Paterno's grand jury testimony, you know, and he claimed that McQuery told him that he saw Sandusky "fondling a young boy" in the showers. It wasn't some vague statement like you alluded to.
