Mayor claims conservatives have engineered the animosity against Berkeley, wonders if he were white

Ann Coulter’s speech that was supposed to have beendelivered at UCBerkeley Thursday night was canceled(allegedly for safety reasons), rescheduled by the school once a “protected venue” was found, and then canceled again, but protesters are already descending on the city.

Some banks in town, remembering what happened whenrioters marched through the city after forcing the cancellation of a speech on campus by Milo Yiannopoulos, prepared for the protests by boarding up ATMs.
