UC BERKELEY IS A JOKE

I've read it. It's no longer pertinent.

Berkeley changed their line since the 24th.

She was going to speak TODAY. The originally planned day.

The university was making accommodations.

I give up. You are a nutsack. From your own NYT article from yesterday:

Despite insisting that she would go to Berkeley regardless — even after the university said it could not accommodate her on the date and time it had initially scheduled her because of threats of violence — Ms. Coulter said she did not see how she could go forward. The school said she could speak only at a later date and an earlier time of day, when there were likely to be fewer students on campus and less of a likelihood for violent outbreaks.

She was still going to come to campus today.

She pulled out because student groups failed to support her visit.

You don't seem to get it but then again I debate if you have ever been on a college campus?

Less that 1/100 ot 1% off the population can go to Berkeley so don't feel bad ;-)

Brown Shirt University.

This whole story is a joke. Conservatives are suddenly as bad as the liberals with their persecution complexes and need for "safe spaces." Boo hoo the elitist snobby college is censoring me.

what? do you know what a safe space is? I think you're confused. Needing a safe space is about censoring, not being censored. The people being censored are the victims of "safe spaces", not the perpetrators.

You are a man of logic and reason. Excellent post, so concise and so crystal clear. Excellent!

Instead of expecting someone else to protect you from the enemies you willingly and deliberately made yourself, how about take some personal responsibility and stop making your own problems. I have no sympathy for polemicists and provocateurs; you reap what you sow.

LOL. Fascist equating speech and violence.

Look at it this way, if you walk into a biker bar and tell the biggest baddest drunkest dude in there "f your mom," are you going to be surprised when he punches you in the face? No. Speech doesn't justify violence and the biker made the worse offense, but either you're dumber than a pile of bricks for trying it, or you did it on purpose to make yourself a victim.

Coulter LIVES for confrontation, she knew full well she'd have violent threats against her and that was the entire reason she did it in the first place.

The school now shuns away in-state students in order to cash in on the out-of-state tuition of foreign students with 4.5 GPA's.

If it's a joke why are all of those out-of-state students with 4.5 GPAs paying so much to attend?

Thankfully they have one of the top 3 EECS programs in the country.

And in the Bay Area job market that counts for a lot these days tbh

Definitely. If u want acccess to good EE courses and research, Berkeley EECS is a good option...it could lead to a fun career

When I look at UC Berkeley and see the young people ready to fight for what they believe in, I say IF North Korea, China and/or Russia want war, bring it on, The UC Berkeley Students led by the group Antifa will go through those 3 countries led by Russia's Special Forces SPETSNA like a chainsaw would go through wet tissue paper.

Great that the young people of the USA are so ready to go to war, hopefully a MAJOR war breaks out soon, as John Jay said "going through a long bloody war together helps unite a country" well are country is a little divided now, so lets hope a MAJOR war breaks out soon.

Cal made the A-bomb in the 40s, started burning draft cards in the 60s,....

Biggest fad at Cal today is boycott/divestment/sanctions on Isreal.

Enjoy.

Suppose it was in Alabama in 1960 and MLK wanted to speak? If our government has to bring in the National Guard to defend free speech, fine...It's probably the most important right that we have...

The hard question though is where to draw the line. MLK got hundreds of thousands of people out marching, Coulter by comparison is more of a fringe figure with a smaller but loyal following. Should the national guard be called out to protect even more fringe speeches from NAMBLA or neo-nazis? I doubt it, but they have the same right to free speech as anyone else. How accommodating do public universities and government have to be in the name of free speech? Certainly no one could deny them if they paid for their own private security at their own venues.

The Cops just stood by and watched like cowards, maybe they realized they were no match for Antifa, heck the Marines, Navy Seals and Green Beret is no match for Antifa.

Please name a current pedophile or neo-nazi who is a NYT best selling author with more than 3 million books.

We’re reaching a situation where thugs are threatening violence. Basically, fascist gangs can shut down free speech.

If you can’t have the government guaranteeing the safety of speakers, then we have lost one of the fundamental uniting elements of our society. If there’s anything that unites us, it’s belief in the First Amendment, belief in free speech. whenever you talk about America, what makes us unique, we believe in liberty. It begins with religious liberty, and it also begins with free speech. And if you can’t get agreement on defending that, I mean, the obligation of any authority right now, is to say Ann Coulter can speak, and we will protect her. That’s why you pay your taxes. That’s why we have police. And we are not going to allow a gang of thugs, really fascist gangs — this is how it started in Europe in the 20s and the 30s, fascist gangs would literally intimidate their opponents to the point where they became dominant. I don’t think they’re going to take over. This is not Mussolini. But nonetheless, it is very disturbing that in America, somebody cannot speak because there are thugs who threaten violence.
