Was Grass Valley under attack from Jihadists? Conspiracy theory whack jobs thought so. Unsure of what to make of this, we asked our intrepid reporter Kayla Vick, for information. Here is her report:

Reporting from Grass Valley, CA
As a long time Grass Valley resident it was unusual and exciting to see we made the KCRA Sacramento TV news. Now the story has gone global. A Grass Valley Charter School event was cancelled due to imminent Jihad attack, or so the conspiracy theorists suggested.
Locally the concern quickly became not so much about the Jihadists but the potential army of gun toting locals who might show up to defend our fair city.
Grass Valley is a diverse community that is not at all racially diverse. We have weed growers, hippies, environmentalists, survivalists, gun rights advocates, State of Jefferson secessionists ... You name it, we got ‘em. All are equally extreme in their own ideological bubble.
So when we get a vague terrorist threat, the local charter school cancels its annual fundraiser to protect us from ourselves, costing much needed dollars for the education of our youth. Maybe there is a political lesson in there somewhere.
