Ann Coulter Sponsor Chickens Out of Berkeley Free Speech Sponsorship
2017-04-26
Young America’s Foundation (YAF) has pulled out of Ann Coulter’s Thursday event at UC Berkeley, blaming the college for allowing left-wing extremists to terrorize conservatives on campus.

"When Young America’s Foundation confirmed Ann Coulter would speak at UC-Berkeley as part of YAF’s nationwide campus lecture program on April 27, we assumed UC Berkeley would take all steps necessary to ensure the safety of students attending the educational event," the group declared in a blog post on Tuesday. "In the meantime we discovered that the University of California Police Department at Berkeley has an official ’stand-down’ policy for any situation that develops on campus as long as the situation doesn’t involve the imminent loss of life, allowing the leftist thugs who have terrorized Berkeley’s campus to do so without consequence."

#8  Those cowards do NOT "have to stay there"--they CHOOSE to PAY for the "privilege" of staying there. Gutless and stupid is no way to go through life.

#5  I can understand this.
"You come give your talk, and leave. We have to STAY here."
Shouldn't have gotten involved to begin with if that's how you feel.

#1  Cowards. Invite veterans to provide security and you won't have to worry about Antifa. They will have the silence of the grave about them.
