JockstrapJohn and his cabal of PL idiots are trying to spin this on Joe and PSU. They are also touting Matt the sociopath as a hero, epitome of truth, and great humanitarian/philanthropist.
Actually I didn't see anyone in this thread tout Matt as a hero, but some did certainly attack his character because they don't like what he said. You have a hard time dealing with reality and maybe that is why you cannot control yourself and get banned over and over again like the little troll you are. Some people have OPINIONS on what happened with Matt or maybe with how much Joe actually knew. NOBODY here...NOBODY...NOBODY knows whether or not if Matt completely lied for cash or simply finally said...enough is enough protecting this monster and flipped on him. There are tons of articles of abused kids sticking by their abusers even as adults so this false NOTION that Matt is the exception to the rule is bogus. Taking the money doesn't automatically make him a liar or mean he was never abused. People can raise an eyebrow to it for sure, but it's not proof of him lying. Most victims don't talk about or deny abuse. That isn't just children, but people who are raped as well. Some can and do come forward right away, but I don't think they are in the majority.
NOBODY here...again NOBODY knows exactly what Joe knew or didn't know. That isn't my OPINION, that is a FACT as nobody here can say what he did or didn't really know. I tend to think after 30 years of grooming that Jerry had put in that Jerry had people conditioned to think he was just odd and simply didn't know better. Joe's actions (not a criminal nor a cheater at all in his life) tend to back that he did NOT comprehend everything that Jerry was doing.
That is MY OPINION, but jive and some others tend to have an OPINION that he knew more apparently. How they can make that leap based on the GJ testimony is beyond me when the man clearly said "something in sexual nature and I don't know what you would calll it". How in the hell does anyone say that is emphatic ONE WAY or the OTHER when a GJ presentment only has questions asked by the PROSECUTION. NOBODY has proof as to how much Joe did or didn't know in terms of Jerry's behavior. Just as I have no way to emphatically say without a doubt he didn't have an idea at all what was going on. I don't think he really knew the level of Jerry's craziness, but I cannot PROVE that one way or the other.
It's highly unlikely Joe and C/S/S all just said...let's just toss our careers and "moral compasses" out the door late in life to protect our pedophile Jerry over the school which was what the witch hunt has stated.
C/S/S have NEVER been able to tell their side of the story...
NOT ONCE. So you basically have 2 sides here on this site PRETENDING and I MEAN PRETENDING to know exactly what was known by them. People TRY to point to 98, but there were no charges in 98 so if someone is basically cleared or not charged of something it's pretty hard to say they are a SERIAL pedophile based on that. Knowing what Jerry is now, people can say they should have known but that is such a bogus argument. GROOMING isn't fake or made up...it exists and guys like Jerry are master manipulators. They prey on kids and Jerry preyed on the most vulnerable of the bunch. CSS and Joe weren't monitoring Jerry's every move and even more so after he retired in 99.
People really do confuse their opinions for facts so badly here. Maybe someday we'll actually here what C/S/S have to say and a MORE INFORMED opinion can be made. Joe's testimony at best was vague and the actions of those above him didn't scream cover up. So you either have to believe they KNEW MORE and didn't act or maybe they didn't COMPREHEND the levels of how DISGUSTING a human Jerry really is.
