Joe Paterno did was was legally required of him when he reported an alleged sexual assualt to his superior but failed to do anything beyond that. Failure on the part of his boses, himself, and the man who saw the assualt allowed the incident to go unpunished and other offences to occur.
Two men, MMA fighters, in town for a tournament, stop a robber who was robbing their motel. The robber claimed he needed to money to take care of his daughter. Modt of the commenters on the story were abusive of the two MMA fighters and many were supportive of the thief.
Thge thief used a gun in the commission of his crime.
I suppose the commenters failed to realize that using a weapon is threatning someones life and perhaps the motel clerk has children of his own to take care of. It really doesn't matter who has the sadder story, there is nevera justafiable excuse for robbing someone, especially at gunpoint.
The robbery was a stranger crime while the sexual assualt was commited by someone who was known to the ones in the know. Like all the sexual predators in the Catholic church that were protected by their superiors.
Perhaps the thinking is the reputation of the institution as a whole is far more important than the lives of the victims. It seems kind of funny that the defending of the robber because he wanted money for his daughter is the exact opposite way of thinking. In this case people are seeming to state that the rights of the victim (who they see as the hungry and needy little girl) far outweigh the rights of the institution (the motel).
