Here is the link to the
March 31, 2011 E$PiN article about Pennsylania "investigating" Sandusky since 2009:

This article was noted in BP's Police Blotter thread at that time. Nobody here commented on it then, except for a sarcastic comment by me (I posted the link).
When you read this article, ask yourself what major facts, other than the indictments finally being issued, really became public knowledge since then?
Seems to me that the only significant information to become public since then is the Penn State coverup and more victims being listed. Of course, nobody should be shocked that there were more victims. The Catholic Church scandals have easily demonstrated that more victims of these crimes are discovered as the deeds become public news.
And I'm not shocked that Penn State, at the least, looked the other way when accusations against Sandusky popped up now and again over the years. Again, there's ample evidence that the Catholic Church did that too. Child rape is that horrible, dark place that none of us really wants to admit exists and its much easier to just ignore it.
If JoePa had retired last Spring and all of the PR about his record setting win had
not happened just before the arrests, would the E$Pin and other media firestorm, and the hundreds (thousands?) of BP posts, ever have happened? Would the PedoBear have appeared at Penn State's bowl game? Or have we all jumped on this bandwagon now, instead of last April, because of some mob mentality?
