From School Board to Handgun: The Disturbing Downfall of Ivy Liu

The situation began when Liu called the police to report a trespasser in her home. However, it quickly became clear that Liu was the one in the wrong, as the man called the police to report that he was being held at gunpoint by her. He explained to officers that he had paid his rent and was in the process of moving out when he was confronted by Liu, who was pointing a loaded gun at him.

Fortunately, the man was able to escape without any harm done. However, the situation could have ended much differently if Liu had accidentally fired the weapon, as there was a bullet in the chamber and a full magazine in the gun.

It's terrifying to think about what could have happened if Liu had not been stopped in time and if an "accident" had taken place.

According to the affidavit, there is evidence that Liu was intoxicated at the time of the incident. This is not the first time her judgment has been called into question. Liu resigned from her seat on the school board amidst controversy and was later deemed ineligible for reelection due to not living within the district she would represent. She also previously caused outrage by quoting Adolf Hitler in a social media post.

This is not the kind of behavior we expect from someone who was once in a position of authority and responsibility. It is a sad reality that someone entrusted to make important decisions about our children's education has clearly made some poor choices.

We must remember that the situation reported over the weekend is not a political issue, but a criminal one. Regardless of any previous political affiliation, it is unacceptable for anyone, especially a former school board member, to engage in such dangerous and unlawful behavior. Our community deserves better, and we must hold our leaders to a higher standard.

Liu is facing felony charges of menacing with a weapon, criminal tampering, and false imprisonment. She has posted bond and is scheduled to appear in court on October 12th. The legal process will determine her guilt or innocence, but the facts of this case are deeply concerning and should not be taken lightly.
