The Banality Of Evil At Penn State

Here is Louis Freeh’s report released, today, July 12, 2012 regarding Penn State’s handling of reports it received that Coach Jerry Sandusky was molesting children. Freeh, a former director of the FBI, was tasked by the Penn State Board of Trustees on Nov. 11 to investigate the University’s failure to appropriately respond to allegations that former football Coach Gerald A. Sandusky sexually abused children

What Freeh found is the perfect illustration of the phrase banality of evil.

At this link is the complete text but the official pdf can be found here

The pdf of the entire report can be found here.

It should be noted that while Freeh’s scope was limited to the University, the report notes the slowness of the Unviersity Police Department in investigating a 1998 allegation of a child molestation by Sandusky and the unwillingness of the Centre County District Attorney’s office to pursue matter.

And, while not in the report, it should be noted that the D.A. at the time Ray Gricar, would disappear in 2005 shortly after announcing that the would not run for re-election. Imagine that, a major law enforcement figure disappears and there is barely a ripple in the state’s media.

And while not in the report, it should also be noted that the Sandusky matter was not the only instance of a allegation of a homosexual child molestion coverup involving Penn State and its president Graham Spanier.

Read the statement here with a link to a download of a pdf of the report.

The Banality Of Evil At Penn State

Off The Internet — Trump Explains ObamaCare

Let me get this straight . . . 

We’re going to be “gifted” with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and

fined if we don’t, 

Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we’ll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s broke!!!!!

‘What could possibly go wrong?’
