"Sandusky, charged with 40 counts of sexual abuse against young boys, was not at home Thursday night when two pieces of cinder block went flying through the window of an unoccupied bedroom about 10:20 p.m., police said."

Is this Perv not in jail? This sentence would seem to indicate that he could have been home, that means he is free and walking around. WTF?

He's out on $100,000 bail.

Isn't he a threat to little boys? I think he should be behind bars, not looking for 10 years old boys.

Personally, I would call him a public threat AND a flight risk just to keep him in jail, but last time i checked, I am not a liberal Centre county judge.

This is surreal sick.

It's rather amazing to me the times we live in, and the people we surround ourselves with. It often happens where we consider our relationships with friends and the like as valuable. We stick beside people through thick, and through thin. Sometimes, making such dedicated gestures to people, we see just how thick things get. This is probably amongst the reasons we're hearing in-depth about this now, and not somewhere between 10 and 20 years ago. We build allegiances and alliances, and as humans do, we keep them. And people show their true colors at some point... How in-depth they are. It then becomes a point of where our allegiances lie. Do we follow morals and what we truly believe in, or do we hold our friends, family, our loved ones, dearly, in disbelief that they are capable of doing such things, or in hopes that they can "better themselves", hoping to not see them do such horrendous things again?

The same obviously holds true in the heirarchy of jobs. While we may like or dislike our jobs, we become attached to them if only for the sake of being able to keep enough money to do what we need to. And when the potential threat of losing such a job comes, even at the hand of doing the right thing, people flinch. They shut up, or shut down, and just ignore right from wrong simply because they do have the attachment to the necessity of money

In such a civilization as ours, people are in a strain to do the right thing. Doing the right thing means we lose what we hold dearly, or absolutely need. Our economy is dictating things to us that we really should be better than, but simply can't be due to whatever circumstances surround us (not really, of course...)

This whole situation is harshly desecrated simply based off others' perspectives of what should be done vs. what we need. The ball was passed and dropped so many times in this situation. And what's really sad is that, because people are so human, I do wonder how many others could've done a better job. I'm CERTAIN many people would've done better somewhere, and the intentions of will on those here on Rockpage certainly say the same. What's really tragic isn't that justice can't be truly done to bring those childrens' lives to some semblance of common right now... It's that this happened many numerous times, and over such a time span that did NOT have to happen if somebody would've simply realized right from wrong is a stronger span of things than the bonds they've built (or, perhaps apathy?). That is the part sickens me the most

Happening once is an example in grandeur gross misconduct. Happening several times is escalated as horrible. That it wasn't contained, slowed down, stopped, or that somehow, more people jumped in and got involved at some point is a true American tragedy, and should be a case study in human behavior. Somewhere, at some point, somebody should've slammed on the breaks

Good analysis, Naga...
