Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

According to the sources, Paterno said after his close call he pulled his car over to the curb and got out.

He then approached the other vehicle and shook his finger at the driver. He warned her to, "Watch it."


"Be careful," Paterno said. "I have your license number, and I will call the police on you."


According to the sources, Paterno said a male passenger then walked up and chastised him, saying, "That's my wife you're talking to."

Paterno said, "That's your problem."

The woman then snapped back at Paterno, telling him, "I'm going to call the police on you."

Paterno reportedly told the woman to go ahead.

Must not have been a weekend, or... was FAR more important than the tickle monster raping young boys in your football teams' shower.

And then he screamed, BEAT NEBRASKA!

What good would calling the police have done? Most likely, she, or a relative or friend had some connection to Joesus. Joe calls the police, the police contact the lady. The lady contacts her Joesus connection. Joesus connection contacts the police. Police email a Joesus assistant. Assistant has face to face sit down with the holy one. Dear leader doesn't want to ruin the lady's weekend. Woman is hassled no further.

Of course, when Joesus' dementia relents for a bit and he's having a "good day", he realizes the lady was the one that cut him off, and he wishes he had done more.

So he does did know how to call the police. Interesting.

Not surprising at all. Wasn't the athletic director the chief of police? I'm sure he had no problem calling police on the woman - any trouble involving her wouldn't get to the media, giving his football team negative press.
Or maybe the vice president was the chief of police. Which was it? That's one part of the story that always bothered me. Why isn't there a chief of police who is simply the chief of police? Maybe I'm remembering that wrong.

Edit:
per Wikipedia -
In turn, Paterno reported the incident to his immediate supervisor, Athletic Director Tim Curley, who then reported it to Gary Schultz, former Senior Vice President for Finance, a position which included financial oversight of the campus police department.

VP Schultz was over the campus police department. Nevermind.

It was the Vice President of Finance. I don't know why it's so hard for you to remember. That title screams "police work" to me. Just the other day at work I saw a guy smash into a parked car and drive away without leaving a note or anything. My biggest issue was figuring out who the VP of Finance was here so I could report it to the proper authorities.

Obviously that's not an apples to apples comparison bc hitting parked cars is way worse than decades of child rape, but you get my point.

I just realized that I don't know who the VP of Finance is in any circumstance. If that happens at my office, who can I tell? Who is the VP of Finance? I think if I called my regional VP, he'd be like, "Who are you? Have we met?" After a while, I'd hope he'd get pissed and tell me to call the police. Or the VP of Finance for the police. Or what if someone breaks into my house? Do I call MY VP of Finance or the criminal's? Does 411 have that info? Or I see some lady get carjacked, GTA-style. Her VP of Finance? Mine? The carjacker's?

This is tough. Sorry, Joesus. I now understand why you looked the other way for so long. I forgive you for not knowing what to do.

There are good Kings and bad Kings.
If a good King were informed of one of his knights doing something unknightly that King would call the knight to answer for his crimes.
A King that only cared about glory and power would probably ignore such behavior as long as the glory and power kept flowing in.
JoPa may have started a good King, but the desire to gain glory overcame his better angels.
