So is that why the Penn State community has threatened him? Because he didn't call the cops? Or is it because he DID say something and didn't keep quiet?

This leads credence to the rumors floating around as an explanation for the reason for Sandusky's quick 'retirement'...
Penn State Nittany Lions' Mike McQueary will not attend game this weekend - ESPN
No idea. None whatsoever. If Penn State fans prefer this have remained kept quiet, then there is a bigger problem, but I suspect the decision to keep the guy away from the game was a smart one. There are crazy people out there, and its plausible there are credible threats. I suspect the guy will be looking for a new job fairly soon; although I wonder if he qualified for whistleblower protection. He did report the issue to his supervisor. All in all, its a mess!
My money is on this one. The fans are probably pissed because he got Paterno involved, instead of calling the police himself.
Well, say what you want about what McQueary should or shouldn't have done in the shower itselft, but this statement (which I think I agree with) means fans are threatening McQueary because he did what he was supposed to do. He told his superior.

I would agree with that if Sandusky was seen in the act of something along the lines of stealing office supplies, for example. Instead, what McQueary witnessed was a physical assault on another person. That criminal act should have been reported to the police, no matter where it occurred.
OK...so Penn State fans are indignant with McQueary for not calling police? I get that. But they are even more indignant that, once McQueary told Paterno, Paterno did NOT have to call the police?

I think at the moment the details are only so relevant to most, he's simply one of the few that remain that can be used as a scapegoat and a focal point for frustration and anger.
No. My view as I said before is that the fans are upset with McQueary because in their eyes he got Paterno involved in this mess by reporting it to him, instead of directly calling the police himself.
After years of alleged victimization of children, Sandusky decided to title his 2001 book "Touched"?!! So infuriating! 
Jon Stewart's take on the PSU riots. This is the best commentary I have seen on the subject.

Yeah, had a feeling they were just looking for a scapegoat...someone they can blame not named Paterno. Hypocrites.

As all things Penn State continue to turn toxic, sponsors are backing away... Cars.com is no longer the presenting sponsor of this weekend's game, and Sherwin Williams was the sponsor logo that appears behind Penn State press conferences and has pulled out.
Meanwhile the university has declared the game a "blue out", to get people to wear baby blue to honor/recognize/etc the victims, but now there's a push by the coaches to instead wear white as a tribute to Joe Paterno. Priorities much?

Just another example of the type of thinking that allowed this to happen in the first place. I don't know if I will ever be able to watch any sporting event at Penn State anymore and not think of what the indictment accuses Sandusky of doing to that poor little boy in the shower.
And Paterno's choice to instead of call the cops, tell Sandusky not to do it there.
