My Thoughts On The Penn State Disaster.
I just read the Grand Jury report…. Horrible! The question is being asked “Why didn’t McQueary stop the child rape when he walked in on it? It’s a great question.
Sandusky was something like 50 when McQueary walked in on the act. Mcqueary was the 28 year old ex-quarterback and could have easily beat Sandusky to a pulp. Maybe that’s what he should have done. It’s what I can imagine myself doing if I walked in on something like that. But I know how attached and loyal players are to their coaches. This relationship was almost certainly like a father and son relationship.
I was trying to think of other reasons why McQueary didn’t stop the rape, and, after I read the pdf, I noticed something. McQueary does not seem to have told his boss Paterno exactly what he saw.
Assuming that is indeed true, here is my thought.
Is it possible that McQueary was also a victim of rape by Sandusky? That is pure speculation on my part, but given the details and the break-down in the communications between McQueary and others, if the grand jury testimony is indeed accurate and all are telling the truth, that would go a long way to explaining a lot.
