Sunday ~ January 22 ~ My sincere sympathy to the family.
Joe’s sincere contrite apology that he should have done more, is more than enough for me and should be his legacy ~ do more in life, on the field, in school, for your family – Do More !
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, a preface please: for a while back in the 70’s, the ex and I attended and worked at Penn State, and lived in State College. I’m also a New Yorker from the Bronx and Joe is from Brooklyn.
It pains me to say, Joe should have done more, and now, he should be saying so.
He should be saying that he is SORRY he didn’t do more.
He should be using his failure to act, his lack of follow-up, as a lesson to teach the PSU community and the rest of the world, that it truly does take each member of the village to raise a child.
No matter how uninvolved we want to be, sometimes we must go one-step further.
You can draw your own line on how far you’ll commit to being a member of the global village.
Maybe you won’t call the pound to report the stray dog. But you’ll
call about seeing the dog attack someone.
Should you have made the first call?
I’m so very sorry for all the victims and their families.
I’m so very disappointed in Joe.

Amen sister!
Joe needed to go. Good post and even better blog
!
Thanks – I’m glad more folks are seeing/admitting/accepting that Joe, and others, share some fault. Your new site is way KEWL !
Right on! This issue is huge and all who knew of the crime and did not go to the police and remove this predator immediately must bear responsibility. Many lives have been broken by his deeds and by those who looked away… all in the name of that god we call football.
What have we taught our children? What have we taught our students who are protesting and elevating football above the lives/welfare of others?
I agree – JG. I think we really have forgotten that the children of today, will be the adults of tomorrow. OMG – does that mean we’ll still have an audience for a Jerry Springer-like show ! ?
It’s great to hear this from a Penn State alumni! What were those rioting kids thinking? I don’t get it.
Like the children they are – they were thinking about the next game – today’s game I think they just lost. Then they’ll play another game – the blame game. Let’s hope the protestors are freshman and sophmores and pray that everyone grows up – today’s phrase – man up – after this episode. Thanks for coming by – Kate
