Shapiro: We’re Seeing ‘the Hecklers’ Veto’ and ‘Rioters’ Forcing Berkeley to Cancel Events

MacCALLUM: "You don’t know what’s going to happen at this point. An indication you are getting is that they are going to be up in arms, they’re going to allow this to happen. What’s your sense of where the pressure comes from? Student groups, faculty groups on campus?"
SHAPIRO: "I think it is outside agitators. What we see at Berkeley, outside agitators, the heckler’s veto, which is a bunch of rioters basically coming in, creating a security threat. In the administration using that as an excuse not to hold the event, saying that it cost too much money. We don’t want to arrest students students. They did this with Ann Coulter, and that’s pretty dangerous proceeding. When he start canceling events because you are afraid of the security costs, that’s incentivizing people to get violence if they want to shut people down."
