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.

Heckler’s Veto is a well known term of art describing a minority shutting down a majority.
That's what I was thinking when I erroneously mentioned Hell's Angels; thanks for fixing it :-)
Ann Coulter said Wednesday...
Post is from Tuesday.
I hope someone with Oathkeepers will give her a call. They can provide security at no cost and make it work. It’s sad that the police have been ordered not to do their job, but when that happens, it’s our responsibility to keep innocent people safe from thugs.
She was just on Mark Simone’s show and said the Republicans at Berkeley caved. I guess that means she was disinvited. She sounded very down.
“Where’s the Hell’s Angels when you need them”
Didn’t make it in before the FR fascist(s), who proudly declare that bikers at Waco “got what they deserved”.
Stupid arrogant fascists at FR would have gladly implemented BJ’s wife’s plans for America.
I know, thank you, I was merely elaborating on how we are seeing more extreme and depraved behaviors.
All she needs to do is put out a call for some bikers. No one will mess with her.
Yeah, that’s good, TM.
Congrats on an effective, graphic, and insightful representation of the democratic mindset, past and present.
I hope she takes Mark’s advice & does a podcast like O’Reilly did.
Commie Berkley Mayor has given the cops another stand-down order.
The prior stand-down order only lasted until her antifa friends started getting their @$$ kicked.
She did say she likes to work off audience responses. I’ve never seen her give a speech - I’ll have to look on You Tube. I’m sure she’s great.
OK...thanks
Spot on.
I just rewatched the video from Bezerkley from 15 April.
The thugs were throwing rocks, glass bottles, and M80s into crowds of people.
And the police just looked on.... Apparently having been given stand down orders by the Chief of Police.
So, it’s accurate to say that the Bezerkley police can’t guarantee Annie’s safety. They will just stand by as Antifa riots.
In First Amendment law, a heckler's veto is the suppression of speech by the government, because of [the possibility of] a violent reaction by hecklers.http://www.rbs2.com/heckler.htm
Those on the right can trigger the same government action, but it takes a credible threat of real violence. Give it time, this weapon swings both ways.
You know, if she had her own Blackwater (good) bodyguards, she doesn’t need an “invitation”-—it’s a public campus-—and she doesn’t need a “venue” to give a speech. She can simply “walk the campus, talking as she goes, stopping from time to time.”
Call a local Biker chapter.
See if they will offer to provide ‘security’
The bikers and Marines are strange allies- but they worked well during the primaries.
Her attorneys have to sue for better access.
Like Mark told her, she can do that on a live podcast & I think it would be the safe way to go. I would hate to see her & her security get hurt. Those loons aren’t worth it.
