Ann Coulter On Verge of Pulling Out of Speech at Berkeley
NYSlimes ^ | April 26 2017 | JEREMY W. PETERS

Posted on 04/26/2017 8:41:43 AM PDT by Drango

Ann Coulter said Wednesday that she is likely to cancel her planned appearance at the University of California, Berkeley, because she faced threats of violence and felt she was left without the support of local law enforcement who have said it cannot guarantee her safety.

We need her to show up.
If she backs out, Antifa is empowered.

BTW: Scott Adams (Dilbert artist) lives 45 minutes away from the site and just offered his home as a safehouse for her.

“Those loons aren’t worth it.”

Those loons ARE worth it.
Nip ‘em in the bud NOW, lest they become empowered and get MORE violent over smaller things.

I say bring it on Ann. If these leftist progressive scumbags get out of line, start kicking their asses. And if the cops decide to play favorites, they can get their asses kicked too.

This will just keep going on as long as conservatives keep backing down and cowering to these socialist-democrat shitbags.

Have some Hell's Angels types show up to crack some snowflake SJW skulls.

Those SJW snowflake anti-fa neo brownshirts, and their useless Berkeley mayor provided PD backup will be doing a lot more than just crying.

Fox Business is reporting that she has canceled. The YAF pulled their support; effectively, they have cut and run. We can’t win this by just playing by the rules. Antifa heads need to be split and conservatives need to be prepared to take the war to the streets. Some suggested she should bring Hell’s Angels with her. That is not a bad idea. Sigh, the Left appears to have won again.

We should take over the meaning of the made up word Antifa. If we write it as AntiFA (Anti-First Amendment) we can bounce it back on the left as done with fake news.

What is this "America" of which you speak? I remember an "America." When I was a child I prayed in class in public school. We had Bible readings. At Christmas all government buildings had manger scenes. We left our doors unlocked and children safely played all over the neighborhood.

But that "America" has been dead for many years.

I’m sorry. I’ll be pissed at her if she cancels. Ann, get some bodyguards and take a risk for this country’s freedom of speech. BE BRAVE. Use a venue with a safe exit for you, bring bodyguards of some good kind, and YES, risk even your life, and be more than an attention hog - STAND UP FOR THIS. You will be a hero. I don’t want you hurt, but we can’t COWER.

Please figure out a way to stand up to this sh*t. You don’t have little children depending on you, which is the only reason I wouldn’t do it, I’d be PROUD to die for this country. Not asking you to, but bravery is how we got this country and this may be your time to show yours.

I’d like to see Trump go there with all the force he commands and do a rally.

Yes. Yes, it would be worth risking Ann getting hurt.

George Washington rode his horse into battle in FRONT of his troops.

I don’t want Ann hurt. At all. But she has a chance to use her own security team and STAND UP for freedom of speech. We should all choose liberty over death.

Our side needs to show up similarly attired but in a different color hat. Their awareness of the existence of cameras everywhere is smart. When the time for the beat-down happens, our side can commit fully to violence of action and then retreat back into anonymity.

Concussions are the only reason these people will listen to.

They are reporting to their elected masters.

Those snowflake ninjas dressed in black with faces covered ARE PROBABLY EUROPEAN FASCISTS IMPORTED HERE AND FUNDED BY SOROS to appear at conservative speaking engagements to start trouble. These white thugs aren't even American citizens.. This is one of the reasons their faces are covered, I'll betcha.

ARREST GEORGE SOROS!!!!
