At the end of the day though, hes not the one who put his dick somewhere it shouldnt have been.

It's not just Paterno either. McQueary and the janitor are going to spend the rest of their lives wishing that they'd gotten physical with Sandusky. The higher ups and Paterno are going to always wish that they'd taken the allegations more seriously. Sandusky's wife and children have to be devastated that they didn't see the warning signs. Most or all of those people deserve some degree of blame, but now their lives are ruined due to situations they never should have been put in to begin with. And that's in addition to the most tragic victims - the children. I just can't comprehend how Sandusky can live with himself. Other people may have made mistakes, but he's pure evil.
