spokane washington lee allen and his two children are out on an errand
i was gonna run to the store and grab a pair of work pants max and lexie said they want the
ride we made a quick stop out of it but as they leave the store the allens are confronted by this
woman
my name is lee allen this is my son max this is my daughter lexi
and we survived to cry my initial little thought when i saw her was i'm not going to
even pay her any attention because i know this is our car get your ass out my way the court
i am it started to get more serious when my dad told me to start recording
max call more people started coming to the car we couldn't go anywhere she started
yelling and it kind of seemed like it woke up the rest of the street people
it almost was like an invitation to come join in this man puts a menacing hand in his pocket
i thought maybe he had a gun i don't know if this guy has a gun but i also don't want to make a move
and one of my kids get hurt i'm a business owner i got a big family i got a lot to lose if i make
a wrong decision in life so i always try to stay on the right side of the law but a new
bystander is on the scene i've sprayed and uh locked the door spray you up yeah [ __ ] that
this is her car this is not her car i slam the door on him and try to keep my kids safe and think
what's the next best move
get out of the car not here
the allen's car takes a pummelling
i felt like it was just us three going against everything oh my gosh oh my god oh my god dad dad
i can't see anything they're using bites to hit my car they're trying
to open my doors i got two kids in the car with me my name is lee lee alex
i drove off because they're hitting my car and i feel threatened for my life
as they flee the allens are being pursued right daddy's behind you i was uh very scared sorry i
can we just get a minute yeah the local city police initially started dealing with me
they immediately wanted proof of the vehicle's uh registration my license they're they're asking
me if i have weapons i'm trying to let them know we're the victims i felt like i was more or less
profiled then the sheriffs came and told us they would investigate it
i felt wasn't justice i felt that the magnitude of the situation wasn't being addressed appropriately
so i decided to to address it in and and make people aware of myself lee posts the video
and it goes viral right sadie's behind you people reached out and knew who a few of the people were
that were attacking us whatever information they had that i later relayed to the police
the motorcyclist claims he followed lee to make sure the man on his hood didn't fall off
police don't charge the motorcyclist the woman who started it all gets a disorderly conduct charge
they couldn't find anybody else that caused damage to the vehicle
and that pretty much was the end of it the allen still struggled to process the attack
i grew up with no parents so i always been trying to be the best dad i could be to my kids
and it's just hard to think about it when i think of everything that happened it brings
back how scared i was i think i handled it well we held ourselves with a lot of composure and
remained calm the allens all agree that the attack has brought them
even closer i'm truly blessed that he's my father i love him i love him to the deepest
of my hearts he's an inspiration to me actually he keeps the family together
you
