ZitatLater this month, conservative pundit Ben Shapiro will be landing at Berkeley, an event which is apparently being treated by the locals as some sort of Category Five Speechstorm. We already learned that the school is offering special counseling sessions for traumatized locals, and security concerns “forced them” to initially only sell half the tickets for the auditorium where Ben will be speaking.
But you can’t be too careful in the face of a natural disaster like someone showing to, er… talk. Inside of a venue where only people who are willing to pay for tickets will be able to hear him. With all of those concerns in mind, the LA Times reports that even more security precautions are being put in place. They’re even titling their piece using the phrase, “Berkeley Braces For” Shapiro. And may I just say, thank God for that. For all we know, in addition to saying words, Shapiro may even be planning to use hand gestures or some sort of multi-media presentation. And I’m pretty sure Berkeley is close to a fault line. We can only hope there are a few survivors left to tell the tale.
