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 (@smittie61984) November 16, 2015
Good Lord, but Sen. Gillibrand is a dolt.

Why do you want to shield criminals who sexually assault people from the police? @SenGillibrand

@SenGillibrand When it comes to investigating and prosecuting crime, college administrators are worse than rank amateurs.
— Taxpayer1234 (@Taxpayers1234) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand Gonna be crazy here and suggest that, if you want crime punished, you should report it to the criminal justice system.
— whale biologist (@whalebiologist1) November 16, 2015
@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?
— Booclay (@bo_xin_ni) November 17, 2015
@SenGillibrand Sexual assualt is a crime. Crimes get reported to the police. This isn't that hard, Senator.
— Steve Alexander (@getrekt_Steve) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand Sexual assault is a crime. Not reporting it as such does nothing to empower the victim.
— Jacque (@Jajngn) November 16, 2015
Just stop @SenGillibrand You are suggesting that survivors report to someone who is NOT TRAINED to handle it. POLICE ARE TRAINED FOR THIS!
— cybernetic『snake』 (@moist_apple) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand Why is involving the police in felony sexual assault wrong? Who is better equipped to handle such crimes?
— DaveConlon (@DaveCC_MI) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand it seems that reporting the crime to police that have the training and are equipped for cases like this is the smart thing.

@SenGillibrand Why is going to the police the wrong approach when reporting a crime?
— Cameron Frye (@anarchohindu) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand No, reporting crimes to the police is the right approach. Your advice is going to get people killed.

.@SenGillibrand Yea bypass proper investigation of criminal acts- I gather bar for Senator is very low these days https://t.co/YnH880YLCA

@SenGillibrand College administrators in law enforcement roles — are you serious?
— Doug Sheridan (@dougsheridan) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand Why on earth would you ever go to the police. It's not like they are equipped to handle investigations and such.
— R Thomas (@Plate0fShrimp) November 17, 2015
Who needs evidence and law enforcement? Kangaroo courts work just fine! https://t.co/6KQkitGR6O
— Amy Curtis (@moderncomments) November 17, 2015
@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?
https://twitter.com/Chris_Cheetham/status/666387098421735424
@SenGillibrand ??? There should always be due process. Why report it to the college but not the authorities?
— Ridley Riddleson PhD (@infomaniac8126) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand yep, better the accused have to suffer a kangaroo court with the burden of guilt hanging over his head. (sarcasm)
— Amico di una tigre (@spacemanspiff76) November 16, 2015
@SenGillibrand Because due process is just such a hassle. Better to let untrained admins handle it.
— Here in the dark (@ArtemisBug) 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.

@SenGillibrand my only question is how have you not deleted this and claimed you were hacked yet?

@SenGillibrand OMG!! So we don't let the professionals handle criminal investigations?pass the bong,lady you've had enough

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