I agree. I don't know why anyone would think a rape charge shouldn't be handled by LE, not the schools. This is exactly what got Baylor in severe trouble.

Unfortunately the little ***** locked his account after that tweet, but it wasn't just "one" person. There were several people throwing a fit about anyone who mentioned "due process". According to them, there need not be any "due process" if she says it happened, IT HAPPENED and ol' Betsy Devos deserves just what Rancor suggested.

Here's an example:

https://twitter.com/JulianAssange/st...35803637760000

Unfortunately, you cannot see the original tweet that Assange quoted because it's no longer there. Shocking.

By the way, here's what she actually said, not what the lame liars in media told you she said:

Ask a liberal. They seem to find it easy.

You won't read this on Alt Left propaganda media.
Once again, conservatives take the word of ONE person and apply it to all democrats. The statement I bolded is a general statement about ALL democrats. It is a false statement.

I am a "leftist," and I am disgusted by the comments that attorney made about Devos. Highly inappropriate.

WHEN (if ever) WILL PEOPLE STOP MAKING GENERAL STATEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE BASED ON WHAT ONE PERSON SAYS?!?!?!?!

Uhmmmmm......... You do see the irony, right?

But, yes, people engaging in these general assignment of (words, motives, thoughts, etc) is one of the reasons we are experiencing such strong discord in this nation right now.

Trump (who claims to be a conservative) said that, as a married man, he likes to grab women by the *****. I am not an idiot, so it is obvious to me that, just because one conservative married man said he likes grabbing women's genitals, doesn't mean all married conservative men grab women's genitals.

But one outspoken and rude democratic lawyer in Texas said that he'd be okay with Devos being sexually assaulted, obviously does not mean that every democrat would be okay with Devos being sexually assaulted.

But a false claim was made in the OP in order to push a heavily-biased agenda. And I'm aware that both sides do this. It's dishonest all around, and does nothing but further divide us.

Okay, now that that's out of our system, can we discuss what it is Betsy Devoss is fighting against? This is a serious issue.

https://www.theatlantic.com/educatio...ssault/539211/

These are two articles in a three part series being written by Emily Yoffe at The Atlantic. It really is an injustice what is happening on college campuses.
