They were receiving death threats and people saying they were going to shoot attendees. What was she supposed to do?

Re-read Patrick Henry's speech, and hopefully understand what sacrifices free speech and liberty are worth.

There is a time for that. It it not here yet. I don't like that she cuck'd but in the circumstances she was putting more than just her life at risk.

YAF and the republicans at Berkeley backed out. That's why she cancelled. Someone probably got to those groups. They are college students at Berkeley. Coulter should do something bigger with Milo, Crowder, Gavin, Cernavich, Paul Watson and Southern and throw in Joe Rogan and Bill Burr for some fun. Have it streamed live by Infowars.

Young Americans Foundation said they could not “jeopardize the safety of its staff or students” by participating in the event. Berkeley College Republicans also backed out.

The students cancelled. They say Coulter cancelled but really it was the student groups:
I think the students were threatened or something by the college. Somehow they got to them... which would be easy... Hey you want to graduate? OK then...

I am not calling her a coward, because that is a violent area. But, does she not understand that some folks might have taken leave from work, booked hotel rooms, airline tickets, and all sorts of logistical arrangements to support her there.
If you choose to take a stage, stand at a podium and be the voice for millions, there will always be danger.

Agreed, the way I see it, the more resistance you have from that side means the bigger the effect you are having. They went from rustled to happy over this.

If she is doing this because of "sponsors" then she is no better than the other side. Do it for the people or gtfo.

If you go to that event without understanding that violence could be done upon you, then you really have no business going there. Coulter, Spencer and others do plenty of speeches in safer areas such as Liberty University, Auburn and other venues.
I am willing to bet, more people would be attending that particular speech to cause violence, because simply, I think we are past words and reason.
