She is culpable because Berkeley told her that they couldn't provide adequate security for her at the specific date and place she wanted, they offered her an alternative but because the people that were going to pay her to speak rescinded, she declined to speak at all.

People are blaming her for the potential violence.
Hell YEAH!
Her and Milo - - their intent is to offend and get a reaction.
Pretty damn simple.
So if people might be offended by a speaker, they should not be able to speak?
That's not what you're really saying, is it?
Don't twist it.
Her and Milo's intent is to OFFEND and get a REACTION.
It's not about someone sharing an ideology another might be offended by.

I don't know for sure but I'd wager that Antifa (which is international by the way) doesn't believe in national borders which is pretty antithetical to Nationalism.

Berkley is in a situation where it can't win. Regardless, Ms. Coulter could have worked with all involved to make this happen in a way that might have avoided, or at the very least minimized the threat. But, she didn't
You would have - I would have. But, she didn't

How was Coulter silenced when it was her decision to cancel the speech after her sponsors bailed on her?

I don't think you're wrong (again with the psychology), just pointing out also that you are making assertions without evidence, and imploring others to believe you:
"Is anyone really going to argue at this point that Coulter isn't blatantly trying to cause MORE trouble by inserting herself into the current situation if she does??? "
I will defend anyone right to speak, even liberal speakers I dislike like the Antifa leaders or Al Sharpton.
I wish that you would do the same.

Berkley allowed violence and coercion to dictate who can speak, and where and when they can do it.
In the OP it states that Berkely offered her a different date and time to speak.

We've been asking that for pages.
The answer is "but people said things we don't like."
I don't think any of them have picked up on the irony yet.
