Well, this is dumb:
We must reform how colleges handle sexual assault cases but requiring survivors to report their assaults to police is the wrong approach.

Is it, Senator? Is it?
.@sengillibrand Exactly right. Accused rapists are best judged by a revolutionary tribunal of women's studies professors.

FTR, if I'm ever murdered on a college campus, I want the student council to handle it instead of the police.— Smittie™ GED (Hons), BS (D-) (@smittie61984) November 16, 2015
Good Lord, but Sen. Gillibrand is a dolt.

@SenGillibrand When it comes to investigating and prosecuting crime, college administrators are worse than rank amateurs.

@SenGillibrand Gonna be crazy here and suggest that, if you want crime punished, you should report it to the criminal justice system.

@SenGillibrand A pathetic attempt to expand the definition of sexual assault beyond the law, while lowering the standard of proof.Well done!
— Destiny Trueheart (@DestinTrueheart) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand This is completely ridiculous. What do you think the police are for? What message are you sending? Are you a child?

@SenGillibrand Sexual assualt is a crime. Crimes get reported to the police. This isn't that hard, Senator.

@SenGillibrand Sexual assault is a crime. Not reporting it as such does nothing to empower the victim.

@SenGillibrand Why is involving the police in felony sexual assault wrong? Who is better equipped to handle such crimes?

@SenGillibrand Why is going to the police the wrong approach when reporting a crime?

@SenGillibrand College administrators in law enforcement roles — are you serious?

@SenGillibrand better to keep it in kangaroo courts of the universities? that makes no sense.
— Uncle Lancey (@unclelancey) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand Why not just ban all men from campus? Draw names from a hat? Trial by combat? Let accusers be judges? All equally fair!
— Brian (@settheray2brian) November 16, 2015
Seriously. How could Gillibrand possibly think what she wrote makes any sense?

@SenGillibrand yep, better the accused have to suffer a kangaroo court with the burden of guilt hanging over his head. (sarcasm)
— Captain Smirk (@spacemanspiff76) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand Because due process is just such a hassle. Better to let untrained admins handle it.
— Here in the dark (@Derpfleidermaos) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand Yeah, we wouldn't want due process to get in the way of convicting people. It's not like it's a *right* or anything.

Give her some time. We’re sure she’ll find a way to top herself soon enough.
