| Texas lawyer says he would ‘be ok’ if Betsy DeVos were sexually assaulted |
| 2017-09-10 |
| [WASHINGTONTIMES] A lawyer in Texas who disagrees with the Trump administration’s plan to reform how accusations of sexual assault are adjudicated on campus said he would "be ok" if Education Secretary Betsy DeVos were sexually assaulted. Rob Ranco, a partner at the Carlson Law Firm, suggested Mrs. DeVos does not fully grasp how serious of a crime rape is, and that she might come to a different policy conclusion if she did. "I’m not wishing for it... but I’d be ok if #BetsyDevos was sexually assaulted," Mr. Ranco said in a tweet on Friday evening. "Perhaps Betsy doesn’t understand how horrible rape is," Mr. Ranco said in another tweet. "She’s made the world more dangerous for my daughters. I need her to understand." "Make the world more dangerous for my daughters ‐ intentionally ‐ and your well being is not my concern," he continued. "Full stop." |

| #4 #2Â Sounds like this Lawyer needs to learn how being falsely accused (and convicted in a kangaroo court - and expelled) can ruin your life forever. I'd be OK with that happening to him -- and him being assraped in prison. |

| #3 If lawyers don't believe in 'due process', why do we need lawyers? It's getting to a point that AIs can write contracts, official documents, et al. |

| #2 Sounds like this Lawyer needs to learn how being falsely accused (and convicted in a kangaroo court - and expelled) can ruin your life forever. Not to mention how all the false accusations make it that much harder for real rape victims to be believed. "Oh she's just playing the rape card... nothing to see here..." |
