Ann Coulter canceled her speech at UC Berkeley amid threats of violence, however; free speech activists have decided to show up anyway and read Coulter’s speech.
There is a heavy police presence near MLK Civic Center Park in Berkeley in anticipation of violence from left-wing fascists who call themselves ‘Antifa’. This is what it takes for Americans to exercise their First Amendment rights these days. Very scary times we are in.
