On another topic, I am glad there is such national outrage over the rape of boys. I just wish there were comparable outrage over the rape of girls and women, which I suspect is rather more common in the grand scheme of things.

Oh Ginger.

That's really terrible. I cannot believe that they thought this guy showering with a 10-year-old was "boundary issues." Well, I think the state and the feds need to get involved with this given the police involved may have done something wrong.

I'm disgusted.

What I want to know is did the custodian and the GA having seen that coach raping a little boy(s) - intervene directly right there and why not?

Yeah, the whole thing is beyond appalling.

What I couldn't remember this morning was how this all came to light now. How did this story break?

Yeah. I especially want to know this about Mike McQueary. The janitor who saw it was an older man, who has dementia now and was most likely in the early stages then. But Mike McQueary was a 27-year-old former football player. And he continued to see Sandusky around town supervising kids for the next ten years, and said nothing.

One of the kids told a counselor at his school.

Thanks, Hil.

I just saw video of the students at the campus last night. So disgusting.

I really hope McQueary is not coaching on Saturday, but it looks like the plan is that he will be.

Oh, wonderful. Westboro Baptist is coming to protest at the Penn State football game on Saturday.

Is it wrong of me to hope they end up in the middle of a mob of drunk and angry football fans?

Seriously, though. This just gets worse and worse the more news that comes out. A life-long friend of mine teaches at Penn State, and he's just beyond appalled right now.

What exactly are the Westboro Baptist people for or against in this situation?
