They hate the Coulter ticket holder because she's pretty and has long blonde hair. https://t.co/vhXJfZTCLE

The violent protesters were ultimately unsuccessful at stopping the event at Wheeler Hall however, and roughly 350-400 people made it inside for the speech. Berkleyside reports that approximately 300 tickets had been sold for the event, plus other reservations.
