Re: Penn State AD Tim Curley faces charges

I really can't believe that assistant dean. What a waste of life. You walk in on some guy raping a child and you just run out, call your daddy and leave the building? What the hell, how could you ever live with yourself knowing you did nothing to try and stop a rape? I might have beat the guy to death.

Well, I think he was a student assistant rather than a student dean. I want to say a student dean would have had far more responsibility.

I can only fault the student assistant to a certain extent, because compared to his superiors he's Mother Teresa.

I can't say enough how bad I want this guy's life to be until someone offs him or he offs himself.

Re: Penn State AD Tim Curley faces charges

I mean...what kind of mind do you have to have to allow yourself to sexually violate a child? I always wonder this when I see these stories. Like for me...I've never had the ability to convince myself to cheat or steal. There's actually been ocassions where I wish I could have done it. Would have made college a whole hell of a lot easier. I'd get a disturbing sensation in my mind whenever I'd think about looking at someone's paper for an answer. I just couldn't do it, moreso for fear of being caught but also just because I knew it was wrong.

Does a child molester not get this feeling? Like do they just not have the ability to convince themselves not to completely destroy someone's life? Are they able to sit there after and somehow justify it to themselves?

I just can't fathom it. I cannot wrap my mind around what kind of mentality one would have to have to want to do this to someone and moreso to actually follow through with it...repeatedly.

Like if I broke certain rules or took short-cuts in previous jobs, it was generally pretty easy to rationalize why I did it...especially knowing my boss wouldn't care. Is a guy like this somehow able to convince himself it's ok?

I also cannot fathom not immediately going to the police with this. Honestly, that student assistant was a pussy and should have intervened. I mean...he walked in on a rape. Yell at the guy, tell him to let the kid go, whatever.

What the fuck is going on in this world?

There are some people who are born with dangerously low IQs and/or were abused themselves that honestly don't have the mental capacity to know what they are doing is wrong.

That obviously doesn't apply here. I can understand addiction and the power it holds over people. But a person with Sandusky's intelligence should at least be able to understand what he is doing is wrong and seek help.

No one is more disgusted with this than I am, but with that being said... I'm no psychology major or anything, but I assume that for them it's a lot like a drug addiction. Immediately afterwards they'll feel disgusted with themselves, only to feel the urge after some time has passed. as col63onel said, he was probably also power-tripping and never really thought he'd actually get caught over this. I honestly think that for crimes like this they should almost (but not quite) take a guilty until proven innocent role. The fact that he was able to walk out on bail is sickening and there's no way he should be able to go anywhere near kids right now.

Re: Penn State AD Tim Curley faces charges

Didn't Paterno do exactly what he was supposed to do? Really wondering why Paterno should get any sort of reprimand for this.

He told the proper people based on what he heard. It's not joe Paterno's job to conduct an investigation of any kind.

Doug being Doug....

That said, 'predicting' Paterno will step down is like predicting Andy Rooney's death.

Not that big of a stretch, and IBN was certainly not the first to say this is probably the year.

Here's the most recent update from Black Shoes Diary, a PSU blog. A good recap of everything so far.

yeah, totally. he definitely shouldn't have gone to the police. especially not when he noticed Curley wasn't doing anything about the situation. reporting it to one person (who did nothing about it) and keeping his mouth shut was quite clearly the correct course of action.

...seriously?

Why would Paterno not trust his AD?

Because his AD is a shady piece of shit. Jesus Christ man...

what a fucking idiot. boobie strikes again.

Re: Penn State AD Tim Curley faces charges

Maybe the fact that the AD did nothing.

Or how about the fact that you are Joe Paterno, you run Happy Valley. If you want an investigation you get it.

Re: Penn State AD Tim Curley faces charges

The alumni, and students very disturbed an upset by this. This is on a whole other level than everything else. Joe Paterno technically did what he was supposed to do, so I really have a hard time thinking he will be punished from this. But if I were to venture a guess, he will step down. Bob is an idiot, no one is going to force him to step down. Joe will do so on his own. His issue is that he went to someone with the info that took said info and covered it up. Curley should be fired immediately, but with the backing of him by President Graham Spannier, I don't see that happening. Spannier should step down for all separate reasons on its own - but that is a different story.

This story of sickening and personally embarrassing. It's cute you talk about burning down the University, but let's be fucking real here - don't paint a great University as a bunch criminals when it was the work of just three people that made this what it was. But again - this is an awful story. Don't read the legal report if you'd prefer to not get sick to your stomach.


Not to intrude on here about the teams, but Pyro can't avoid being a douche and weaving in something I'd never say about football when talking about such a disgusting real life event that happened to Penn State.

Careful, you'll have whatshisface coming in here saying wins over Illinois, Wisconsin and now Indiana are not quality wins. :chuckles:

Haha you're hilarious! Everyone discredited Penn State for beating Illinois and Indiana - but all of a sudden those are good wins for Ohio State? Got ya! Never did I say Wisconsin was a great win, just stating that it was the first win they had that stuck out. I know you're an ass, but try not to be one all of the time.

What?

Did he know that or something, I mean...the AD is at fault.

But was Paterno supposed to predict that happening or something?

What would lead him to believe that nothing was being done about this? Or really, why wouldn't Paterno believe them when they told him everything was fine and it turned out not to be a big deal?
