Penn State: Child Rape University (or: Dude, seriously? What the fuck?)
Yeah, you knew I had to chime in on this one.
WARNING: This will be highly offensive to some people. Please do not continue if you are squeamish or in any way support Paterno, PSU, or anyone involved (or if you support child rape.. so..yeah). Trust me, if you feel that way you really will not like me once this is over.
Let me start out by saying very clearly: fuck Jerry Sandusky, Joe Paterno, the "whistleblower", the entire PSU administration and the entire PSU athletic department. May they all die horrible, slow, painful, humiliating deaths. That's just for starters, folks, I warned you, remember?
Why are Paterno and the "wistleblower" on the same level of "bad guy" as the actual rapist? Here's why: they had an opportunity to stand between innocent children and pure evil. They chose to do, essentially, nothing. They deserve everything they get after that choice.
So, as it turns out a coach at PSU was raping young boys in the showers of the football team's locker room. And he was running a charity to help troubled boys. Since 1977. This piece of shit would gain the boys' trust, take them under his wing under the guise of helping their career, and then take them to the showers and rape them. OK, yeah, pretty fucked up, right? I mean, that alone is just about the most horrible story you have ever heard. The guy should be castrated for sure. But it gets worse...
There are now allegations that this piece of garbage not only raped these young boys, but pimped them out to high paying donors to Penn State. So he sold the rape of little boys to other sick pieces of shit who paid for it. That nice new PSU field house, track, dorm, cafeteria? Turns out that may be, in part, paid for by child rapists. But it gets worse...
Turns out that once, in 1999 this animal was caught raping a little boy in the shower. A little context: the rapist garbage was in his 50s. The coward who caught the rapist in the act was 6'5" and muscular, in fact a former PSU quarterback. So of course he beat the ever living shit out of the child rapist and detained his sorry ass for the police right? Not so much. This coward told his boss and his dad. They basically said "don't worry, we will take it from here". And that was that. For TEN GODDAMN YEARS THIS COWARD KNEW LITTLE BOYS WERE BEING RAPED IN THE LOCKER ROOM AND DID NOTHING MORE!
OK now, that is all "in the past" (not for those boys, but we digress, dear reader) now. We need to look forward and build for a better tomorrow, right? Here's your "better tomorrow": the total elimination of PSU football and the entire athletic department permanently. Once the lawsuits from the victims are settled and fines levied by the NCAA are complete, if PSU has one dime left to support the school it will be too much. Let it be bulldozed and the lands set up as a park.
"Oh, you're being too harsh. 99.999% of the PSU staff had no idea this was going on, why should they be punished for the acts of relatively few people?"
If that is what you just asked me, stop reading now. Please go out, experience the world, understand that things are not all wonderful and happy and come back here. I will wait. For those of you who have a semi-functioning brain, let us continue.
So it would've been fine to let SOME Nazis go on after WWII ended (yes, I know many went on to help both the US and the USSR after the fact - but I speak only of what should occur, not what did, so don't be a pedantic ass, I have a point here). Fuck that. Child rapists (stop calling them "abusers," ESPN), much like Nazis never go away, they deserve harsh punishment, as do any who aid their cause to not only cover up rapes but to continue them. Let the entirety of the PSU system be purged and burned to the ground, and the earth salted so that future generations will know that we value the innocence of youth over a fucking game. At least, some of us do.
On a side note: the very worst part of this whole sickening saga is that there are millionaires and billionaires who paid to rape children who will never be outed. Some pussy DA will give the PSU scum immunity to plead guilty and go away so the ever-precious money can continue to roll in to PSU. Give me all these scum in a room, a pair of pliers and a small assortment of knives and I promise you we will find out every name of every piece of shit who paid to rape an innocent child. Within one hour. Yeah, that is just as wrong as torturing Al Queda suspects. And after the fact I would need a lifetime of therapy and Scotch to forget those memories. But I'd still do it without hesitation. These people will continue to rape innocent children if they are not purged now. We must go after them with everything we have. As sickening as it seems, giving immunity to trash like Paterno may be the answer. If we give him that, even though he willingly put football (?!?!?!!) before the safety of children, and knowing he will go on a talk show tour and book signing deal, netting him millions of dollars...shit....so be it. He has been (along with his cohorts) garbage for decades - why stop now? Use his total lack of morality and humanity to our advantage so we might purge more filth from our society.
I could write on and on for days about this. The entire story has made me (quite literally) vomit several times already and I am sure that will return in time. I will change nothing with this post, and I apologize that this is not my normal "angry dude ranting about everyday shit" posting, but this had to be addressed. It solves nothing, and things will go on as they always have. If you would, dear reader, do two small favors for me. Pay attention to kids around you. Victims of abuse often cry out to us in ways that are hidden or masked in their own way, for their own mental well-being. Defend them. Stand between a child and pure evil. Do not be a coward like those at PSU. My second favor is far easier: if anyone you meet ever defends Paterno or the PSU staff you have my explicit permission and endorsement to kick him/her in the crotch as hard as you can.
There will be no funny or amusing photo here, no silly meme to "make it all better." I feel sick after writing this, and so should you.
You do know that no one has yet been convicted and the accused are claiming innocence. I do feel better after reading your blog though...you really get worked up over stuff! Now your minor rants at things I say on facebook seem quite trivial in comparison. Still love you man! I look forward to reading other posts when I have time.
ReplyDeleteBurl: you are correct that not one person has been convicted of any crime in this matter. But consider the following:
ReplyDelete1. Sandusky seen by the GA in the shower (according to his own grand jury testimony) naked and in some kind of sexual act with a ten-year old boy.
2. The fact that at the very least the GA, Paterno and the AD were all informed of this and A. did not call the police and B. did not confront Sandusky.
3. Sandusky was THE heir apparent to one of the most prestigious posts in all of college football, and he resigns his post suddenly and unexpectedly immediately after the grand jury investigation.
4. His "charity" gave him access to many MANY young boys who had a chance to "live the dream" of playing for a huge football program.
5. After his resignation he was allowed to keep an office at PSU and continue to give tours (totally unsupervised, mind you) of PSU to little boys.
6. The judge who presided over the bail hearing declined to set a bail limit and, as it turns out, was a volunteer at the "charity".
7. Paterno (immediately after the Madden story broke early this year) sold his house to his wife for the tidy sum of $1, removing that $600,000 property from his name entirely.
8. In other pervy but possibly unrelated news: Sandusky's lawyer impregnated a 16 year old girl (whom he did emancipate from her parents and marry shortly thereafter, admittedly).
9. And this is the absolute lynchpin. NO ONE, not one of those "educators" stepped in to do ANYTHING at all to stop this (alleged) rape(s). Let me ask you: in your school, would you let a man who has ANY connection to the possible rape of a child be anywhere NEAR a child at all, most especially unsupervised? PSU had more to gain (money) from sweeping this under the rug as long as possible.
Now, if two or three events seem to be related, it's probably a coincidence. They happen FAR more often than people notice. But when it's three, four, five, six, seven, and so on (I didn't even get to list everything here!) of things that just don't quite seem right, we are VERY PROBABLY looking at a massive coverup of many many years of child rape. You are right, this might all be a huge money grab by a few people who want to sue the school et al. I am not sure the odds of that are calculable, however.
