The University of Central Florida has become the latest school to surrender their rights of free of speech and assembly to the fear that leftists would riot.
Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos “the Kanye West of Journalism” announced on Twitter Tuesday afternoon that the campus police canceled the latest stop of his Dangerous Faggot Tour due to safety concerns,
1/ Update: my talk tonight has been cancelled by UCF PD. They cannot guarantee my safety or that of our guests.

Despite the threats, the Breitbart tech editor said he would not be intimidated, promising to hold a press conference on Wednesday in Orlando. Yiannopolous promised supporters and the press that he would personally provide security to guarantee everyone’s safety.
2/ We are arranging a press conference for TOMORROW here in Orlando. I will be delivering my speech then.

According to Yiannopolous’ tweets, he received threats from “Islamists thugs” in the same city that a jihadist murdered 50 gay Americans on Sunday.
6/ This is America. Islamist thugs will not stop a gay man from expressing his views. More soon. I’m contactable at [email protected].
