Yup. McQueary deserves some hellish treatment that I can't administer. I can buy that he's shocked to the point of not thinking clearly for some time after he witnessed "the event". How much time? I don't know. Let's say a week. Every day he didn't report to the police what he saw, in my opinion, is another day he ACTIVELY covered up a child predator.
And Joe Paterno, in telling McQueary that he would handle it, has joined McQueary in covering up for a child predator. Every day.
Edit - you know, the more I think about it, the dad and the "advisor" don't come out very clean, either. Advise him to go talk to the head football coach? His boss? The sicko's boss? I think that THAT fact, more than anything, tells me that the public perception of those close to (but not directly in) the Penn State culture believed that Joe Paterno ran that town/society/cult. If you see something sick like that, you go to the authorities. I think that McQueary's dad and this "advisor" (whatever that means) saw Joe Paterno as an authority.
Somebody earlier in this thread pointed out some curious info in the testimony.
McQueary called Paterno asking for an appointment or something. He was a Grad Assistant at the time.
Paterno starts their meeting off by telling him he won't have a position with Penn State. By the time McQueary leaves he has a job offer to be an Assistant Coach.
Seems kinda black and white that he used Sandusky and his silence to barter for a job at Penn State.
Turtles all the way down.
