Berkeley braces for unrest despite Ann Coulter cancelation

Police at the University of California at Berkeley braced for potential clashes between militant left-wing and right-wing activists on Thursday, despite conservative commentator Ann Coulter dropping plans to address students at the campus.

Coulter, one of America's best-known and most provocative pundits on the political right, said on Wednesday that she no longer intended to defy university officials by addressing UC Berkeley students on campus this week.

But Coulter left open the possibility of paying a visit to her supporters at the school, long a bastion of liberal student activism and a center of the Free Speech Movement protests of the 1960s.

UC Berkeley officials said classes would be held as scheduled.

He says its unreal. They're wearing helmets, getting liquored up, ready to fight. He's been there about an hour watching the NFL Draft. He's a home boy so I'm sure he's safe. He says its unreal.

Brennen's is a bar/restaurant at the bottom of University Ave, about as far from the UC Campus as you can get in Berkeley. Kind of an institution for some of us locals.
