Faithful readers of Eye may recall the post we did resurfacing the video that Adams County School District 14 board member Lucy Molina took of herself having a meltdown over Commerce City council member Craig Kim’s attendance at an Adams 14 public meeting on April 16.

Well, that story has just gotten both weirder and worse.

By way of background, the whole thing started when Kim publicly raised objections to the district’s hiring of Tiffany Narcisse as the new Adams 14 Junior High School Principal. In an email to the Board, which he later made public in the interests of transparency, Kim raised reasonable concerns related to Ms. Narcisse’s previous job as a school administrator in Fairfax County, VA. Specifically, those concerns focused on a serious lapse of judgment over her reaction to the death of a student at the school, for which she was forced to apologize following an outcry from parents; as well as a damning financial audit of the school while she was principal.

There is a school of thought – a rather commonly held one, we would think – that holds if you steal something from someone, then you – not the person from whom you stole it – should be held accountable.

That is apparently not a universally held principle by some elected to represent Commerce City residents and businesses.

At a study session last week, City Council discussed a proposed ordinance to ban shopping carts from city parks and other public spaces; generally, shopping carts that were stolen from local grocery stores and used by homeless folks as mobile storage. Those caught with a shopping cart in such a place would receive a citation. This would in fact be a broadening of a current ordinance that prohibits shopping carts from being removed from the premise that owns them, enforceable by fining – the business from which the cart was removed.

Now the good news is that the cooler heads charged with enforcing this law report that no businesses have actually been fined for this.

Last month, the Adams County School District 14 held a public meeting, which was evidently attended by A14 board member Luz E. (Lucy) Molina-Aguayo (otherwise known as Lucy Molina).

We say “evidently” because a video has surfaced, recorded by Molina herself, in which she exhibits a rather visceral reaction to the presence of Commerce City Council Member Craig Kim. The video was initially posted – briefly – to social media, and has apparently been taken down, a copy has surfaced. Here is an abridged version to give a sense of what transpired.

In the video, Molina accuses Kim of a number of offences, saying repeatedly that he “walked in very aggressively” and started “yelling” at her, later adding that he “attacked” her and “another black woman” who seemed not to be present. She stated that she was “tired of men feeling entitled to disrespect women of color” and called for him to dbe escorted out, claiming repeatedly that she felt “unsafe.”
