The Grass Valley Center for the Arts has canceled Kathy Griffin's scheduled June 16 appearance at the Grass Valley Veteran's Memorial Building, said Julie Baker, the center's executive director. Baker announced the cancellation Wednesday, just one day after Griffin released a controversial photo of herself holding a mock version of President Trump's head, which was covered in fake blood and appeared decapitated. The photo was taken by Tyler Shields, a provocative Los Angeles-based celebrity photographer and contemporary artist. Griffin released a public apology Tuesday afternoon on Twitter. "I beg for your forgiveness," said Griffin in her 30-second apology video. "I went too far." Griffin's Grass Valley appearance was the first scheduled stop on her "Celebrity Run-Ins" stand-up comedy tour. "We bring a wide variety of arts and entertainment to our community and we booked Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins because we felt now more than ever we needed a good laugh," said Baker. "Unfortunately due to recent actions for which she has publicly apologized, we have received hundreds of angry and threatening emails and phone calls including threats to the Vets Hall building and our community." Baker said that allowing the show to go on would be a threat to public safety. "We wholeheartedly support free speech, but in light of this situation, our first priority must be public safety, and we feel it is in the best interest of the community we serve to cancel this event," she said. Ticket holders for the event will receive a full refund from the box office.

the Vets Hall?....huh?
“The photo was taken by Tyler Shields, a provocative Los Angeles-based celebrity photographer and contemporary artist.” “contemporary artist” What exactly is that and what does it add to his credentials apart from emphasis from the leftist media? All living artists are “contemporary”—ie. currently living.
Well, what can we say? These liberal Hollywood idiots are used to saying and doing whatever the hell they want, with no consequences.
I think some liberals have said that there are consequences to your actions. I know Obama said elections have consequences.
So Kathy is seeing there are consequences to her vile display.
Can you imagine if anyone had made such a display about Obama???
Fake sorry.
The R word would fly. Remember the Missouri rodeo clown. Screw those rat bastards.
Seen online...
Trump ‘beheaded’ - meh
Bush head on a pike - meh
Trump ‘executed’ by rapper - meh

Don’t know if it’s this guy.
I do love how they can cancel a show because a liberal went diving off the deep end and yet still blame it on conservatives. Truthfully, considering the area, the excuse is to keep liberals from attacking the center for the arts.
A quick google search indicates that it is (or else he has a doppelganger with the same name). Always a good idea to make sure before posting pictures or other personal info of people. Too easy to impugn innocents otherwise.
Well, actually I was pretty sure it was him.
But I often include a disclaimer. ;)
She didn’t expect the backlash to be so viral and quick.
Now she knows.
Now, off to prison for this terrorist Kathy Griffin who is trying to inspire other terrorists.
“Comedy” - Uh, huh - yeah, right. That’s the ticket.

We may want to applaud the move, but Ms. Baker seems to cast the blame on the “hateful” Trump supporters who emailed her with so many threats. Nothing said about the poor taste of Kathy Griffin.
Well, I am certainly not surprised at EH.
So my guess was wrong. The correct info is always appreciated.
Thanks for the information!
