Alleged victims of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky are working with at least two legal teams to prepare civil lawsuits against the university—seeking damages from the university over administrators’ failure to take action.
“This may be the most high-profile sexual abuse case ever,” says Benjamin Andreozzi, a Harrisburg, Pa., lawyer who is representing at least one of the victims listed in grand jury filings. Adreozzi noted that once other potential victims see that they’re “not alone,” perhaps they’ll come forward, too.

“I think things are going to be fast and furious over the next weeks,” one attorney said.

It is going to be interesting following this, although I find stench of evil sickening, to see how successfully the cover-up is put into place and how many mid-level pervs will be sacrificed to protect the high level pervs.
Poster Comment:
This is one reason Pedd State is pouring on the coals to keep as much of this covered up as possible. The potential here is that it could cost the university hundreds of millions in damages both real and punitive. It is a foregone conclusion that "The Second (s)Mile Foundation" is toast. They will be sued out of existence and no one is going to donate to a known pedophile front organization.

Yes, I'm sure Pedd State and the Second (s)Mile helped the kids down one path or another. To so abuse the trust of a child is NEVER acceptable. This is just SO Sick! I cannot stand even looking at the stuff but if we do not force ourselves to look, see, and act when something like this occurs it is simply a green light to keep doing it. The pervs are not going stop unless someone exposes them and stops them. I'm there with you on this one. There was a time when we had decent, watchable, enjoyable shows - not so much today.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. Funny you should say that, E. One of their websites is named Blue/White Illustrated (BWI) which we Buckeye fans refer to as Baboons with internets. Anyway, there was a post there last night spreading a rumor that the victim in the shower was 16 instead of 10. You should have seen the rationalizing they were doing. According to a lot of their posters, rape is ok as long as the victim is the age of consent. Many of them are in deep denial over all this.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. For me it would be "Have Gun Will Travel", Daniel Boone starring Fess Parker, The Cisco Kid, Star Trek, "Whirly Birds" (mid-50's and very dated now), Wyatt Earp, Cheyenne, Sugar Foot, The Rockford Files, Maverick, Bewitched (first 2 seasons), Mash*, and "The Name of The Game". ISpy was good too but I've only seen a few episodes - it was always on during one of my mom's favorites on another channel. There were a few others I found enjoyable, but those were the main ones. I didn't like Bonanza that much after one of the actors who played one of the brothers left the show and they replaced him with someone else. Honorable Mentions: 77 Sunset Strip (Which had the coolest opening of any TV show) Peter Gunn (Al Hirt's Trumpet made the show with that wonderful Henry Mancini Theme song.) Surfside 6 - which was a copycat of 77 Sunset Strip Mr. Lucky - another dark detective show. The Outer Limits - best early SF drama. Along Came Bronson (first season only) The Rebel - (Johnny Yuma) deleted

Thank goodness we can catch the replays. Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson We'll know tomorrow what happens.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Actually, thinking about it, I mean't "Davey Crockett" - "King of the wild frontier ..." and not Daniel Boone. Oddly enough Fess Parker, I believe, played both. A little trivia - the man who played Davey's Indian Sidekick/Friend was played by an actor named Ed Ames (who was really an Indian) and he was also a Operatic Tenor - and a very good one. I still have one of his recordings somewhere. My mother loved his rendition of "They Call The Wind Mariah" - which was the opening theme for the movie "Krakatoa East of Java". Yes, Adam Cartwright - and he was the best. I don't know if he ever regretted leaving the show or not. Just looked him up on WackyPedia - evidently not - they have an extensive entry about him. Pernell Roberts He would have made a mint from it for as long as it ran. I think it was second only to "Gunsmoke" as the longest running Western. Roberts was the last surviving member of the cast and died of Pancreatic Cancer, age 81, in 2010. we'll just have to disagree that a diploma from Penn state is tainted for all who have ever gotten one. sure this has brought shame to the university, but Penn State is first and foremost an academic institution. for example, what does what happened in the football program have to do with what happened in math class? your approach, imo, is to throw the baby out with the bath water. again, the University is much more than its football. even still, there's absolutely no reason that the athletes past and present shouldn't be proud of their personal achievements. a clean sweep of anyone who had anything to do with this situation is what's warranted, not a destruction of the entire school and community.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Coolness. :-)
Yeah, no shit. Ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky admits to showering with boys
Sandusky: "I didn't have sex with that boy ..." Nixon: "Your President is not a crook." Clinton: "I did not have sex with that woman - Monica Lewinsky." I disagree with you there. Their "insulation" depends on the cooperation of other criminals. Mob bosses can't count on that, and neither can pedophiles. It depends on who is investigating it. I don't know who the good guys are in this. -------------------------------------------------------- That's a huge problem for all of our society. The good guys haven't been showing up lately - it looks to me like an intervention is required. Even if some "innocent" people were prosecuted (or persecuted) in error - it'd be a good lesson for future perps ! Just my opinion. "the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, “Limit yourself”; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian."

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. I agree with that completely. No reason and no justification to paint the innocent with the same broad brush as the guilty. I am sure many, many good and decent people have gone to school at Penn State who haven't molested anyone and there is no reason why the actions of one or a few should taint everyone who has ever gone there.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. That judge will have to answer for this. He should have recused himself. They will definitely try and cover up as much as possible. But this judge was sloppy. They may not have had time to properly set up a cover-up. If that is the case, they will be tripping all over each other. It all depends on who is investigating this. Which agencies are doing it? That's not rhetorical. I don't know who is investigating this. Think back to watergate. This is where I think it's going. It may be that big. And that coverup failed. -------------------------------------------------------- If I were a student at Penn State, or any other--of course I am a bit "long in the tooth" to be a college student--I would not be one of the ones out protesting some coach getting fired over what appears to be a coverup of some serious crimes against young people. If Paterno was told about that when it happened and then did not see to it that some action was taken then they were right to fire him and it should have happened years ago.

People, being people, will remember that lesson for a short time. Then they will forget it, and the cycle starts all over again. It's human nature. But imo it serves a purpose. It keeps us from becoming too complacent. We wouldn't have gotten very far if we were still being coddled in some fictional garden of eden. -------------------------------------------------------- deleted

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. I was not writing about penn st, but the world and human nature in general. IMO penn st is just a small part of this story. IMO it's almost an incidental part. This could have happened anywhere. The bigger part is those that were not directly involved at PSU, but have money and positions of power. -------------------------------------------------------- deleted
The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. yes, that clears things up, except for this. SMU's infractions were recruiting violations. this is a different matter involving a few and, as far as i know, there's nothing in the NCAA rules that addresses pedophilia (on that note, every one involved deserves their day in court and please don't take this as in any way defending the cast of characters here, i'm just mindful of what happened at Duke). my point is again that i don't think the present or future athletes should be punished UNLESS there is something in the NCAA rules that addresses this in some way.
You'd think that the NCAA would have a morals clause somewhere; but my search came up empty.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson True. This cuts both ways though. Does this depend on their attention span? Sure, it might give them a way out of this mess (but I doubt it), but sex sells, even perverted criminal sex. This plays right into the idiots desires for scandal. That will imo keep up the interest in this story. It won't be easy to bury. The entire Roman Catholic Church thing wasn't nearly as exposed as it should have been on the last go-round, and it pops up all the time. It's constantly being exposed. The only ones to just let it slide are the catholics. But WTF, they have a very long history of torture and murder so it's just another day for them. They don't count. -------------------------------------------------------- deleted

Then again, it's all for the football program which brings so much to the university. Especially for those kids from broken homes. /s

And I think sometimes I watch the older reruns, usually in the evening when I'm doing laptop work, purely for reminiscence purposes to remind me of a former time in America before the entire nation turned into a giant shithole.

If you're expecting much to happen outside of the Ped State circle, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Those at the top are fully insulated.
Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself... Robert Ingersoll

This token bond for Sandusky, the people being put in charge of the investigation, etc., all point to cover-up mode.

But you must remember that our news cycles are different than what they were in the '70s and the attention span of Duhmericans is brief such that the next missing bimbo story that consumes the network sNooze shakes the screen on the etch-a-sketch clean again.
