End taxpayer supported tenure and all the nonsense will stop.

She was just on the Mike Gallagher show, she doesn’t want to give in to the leftists. Mike brought up an idea of a 1000 off duty police become her security force. She seemed open to the idea.

Here is some consolation:

on the 15th at the last riot it became extremely clear to all in the park that the main event was not the speakers.

They were all overtaken by events there.

I’m not saying don’t listen to the speakers but if you as a non-student are excluded from going inside, it ain’t going to matter a hill of beans, let me assure you...!!

UC Berkeley police said there won't be a repeat of what unfolded during the Yiannopoulos melee, when people who had infiltrated were part of the protest started smashing windows and lighting fires.

FIFT.

Nice try by the fake news to try to deflect the blame from the liberal tantrum-throwers.

They were unable to find a place for "the right-wing provocateur "

No bias here...

Close to half of Berkely’s budget comes from Federal Money.

Ann Coulter pays her Federal taxes, therefore she has the right to speak.

The left wants to silence normal people, while it openly encourages America-haters to physically attack normal people.

If she comes to the Sproul Hall Plaza, that is naturally the well-known, decades old, preferred Riot Expressway Area in Berkeley.

The riot will unfold with the precision of fine Swiss watch.

I don’t care where she starts out speaking, later on she will need a portable bullhorn with lots of spare batteries.

And she needs a helmet and clear swim goggles.

"Unfortunately, UCPD determined that, given currently active security threats, it is not possible to assure that the event could be held successfully ... at any of the campus venues available on April 27th," the letter said.

Let's take them at their word for a moment, as unlikely as it is that they respect Coulters right to free speech and were only concerned about her safety. If that's true (and it most certainly is at least partially true that the threat of leftist violence was real) then it only emphasizes the point that thought the left calls Trump a fascist and Hitler (an insult to Hitler's victims!) the side using brownshirt tactics is the left. Period.

Scratch the paint off a leftist and you'll reveal the totalitarian core underneath.

Toilet paper has more value than a UC degree now.

A UC degree reference on your resume will get your resume tossed into the vertical file almost instantly now.

The list of no hire college graduates is getting longer every day.

"But the right-wing provocateur (Coulter)..."

So it took three sentences for the characterizations and smears to be unveiled. Characterizing Ann Coulter as a "right wing provocateur" is biased "reporting". It throws the whole "news report" into questions.

This is an opinion piece.

As the home of the free speech movement

Berkley wasn't even around when the Bill of Rights was written.

The administration does not run the school. The rioters do.

Can POTUS compel the National Guard to keep the peace, since Gov Moonbat would never do it?
It would take overwhelming numbers. If not, maybe a few thousand off duty police and bikers.

Smart move by Coulter.
I would not trust my safety to Berkeley. They have no real incentive to keep certain speakers safe and a lot of incentives not to.

“Unfortunately, UCPD determined that, given currently active security threats, it is not possible to assure that the event could be held successfully...due to the fact that our security officers and Berkeley police are completely stoned out of their minds...they feel far too groovy to be aggressive...” /S

People should take note of how Coulter has handled this. The university unilaterally “cancels” her speech, she immediately makes it clear that she’s coming anyways, come what may. They quickly realize they’ve screwed themselves, a PR disaster coming down the pipe, so all of the sudden, lo and behold they can accommodate her, just not on the day planned. She rejects that as well, now they just look pathetic and it’s still a week away.

Lesson: don’t back down with these people. You just state your intentions, stick to them, and let them react however they see fit.

Ann revealed today that the May 2 date is after classes end, so few if any students would be around.

What dishonest filth these administrators be.
