She either didn't want to speak (because she had more to gain from NOT speaking at this point), or piss poor organization made it too difficult to bother with after things got going.
Either way, Coulter wins. It doesn't matter that nobody was charged for uttering threats or being violent. All that matters is that the media latched onto her version of events that an angry mob of lefties at a lefty university in a lefty country somehow stifled her right to free speech.

Well it probably would have helped if an angry mob of 2000 people wasn't standing outside the building.
The students had the choice to show up or not. They had the choice to get all riled up. They had the choice to not block the entrance.
Perhaps Coulter did plan the whole thing, but that doesn't change the fact the students acting on their own choice. If Coulter did plan the whole thing, all that shows is how easily manipulated students are.
It doesn't change the fact that Canada looks awful here.
