An Hour Before Her Offensive Bow, Lucy Molina Posted a Tommy Gun Meme
It was the eve of the election. One hour before city council, Adams 14 Board Director Lucy Molina posted a meme. It showed a woman brandishing a Tommy gun. Caption: “When she’s spiritually aligned & from the hood…”
Pre-Performance Psychological Prep
COMMERCE CITY — At that City Council meeting in which she delivered an offensive bow toward her federal civil-rights plaintiff Craig Kim while saying “gamsamnida,” Adams 14 Board Director Lucy Molina posted her meme.
The meme’s caption, “When she’s spiritually aligned & from the hood…”, signals swagger and confrontational readiness. Taken together with the timing, the post provides context for the gesture she was about to make. She was running for a seat on that same Council—next to Craig Kim, the man she’d soon bow to.
Snoot Opinion: A Gesture at Odds with Its Intent
The newly surfaced Facebook post directly complicates any claim that Molina’s bow was intended as respectful or grateful. It instead suggests she entered the meeting in a performative, combative frame of mind.
Video footage shows Molina maintaining unbroken eye contact during the bow. She further departed from a respectful bow by not placing her hands at her sides or clasped in front. Instead, she swept behind the back in a theatrical flourish.
"Thank you, muchas gracias, gamsamnida"
That flourish matters. Against this backdrop, the gesture reads not as a spontaneous thank-you but as a staged, aggressive display — consistent with her campaign’s broader confrontational posture.
