Lee Allen Feb 28
I went to the Walmart @ 5025 E. Sprague Ave Spokane Valley, Wa. 99212 4:30 p.m. My teenage son and daughter was with me. We bought some things, proceeded to leave the parking lot. We were approached by this lady on a bicycle screaming we had her car. She proceeded to block our exit. Out of the blue we were surrounded by 5-6 people hitting (My Car). Hitting it with bikes, kicks etc. One guy even gestured he had a gun. I decided to drive off even if the guy wouldnt move from in front of my car. He held onto the car while I called the cops driving west on Sprague stayed on for about two miles. Another guy on a motorcycle continued to follow us and kick the side of the car screaming racial slurs. A separate car kept pulling in front of us try to stop us. The guy on the hood finally decided to hop off. The motorcycle guy bailed once I turned into Fred Myers. The car followed us into the parking lot and hid until I walked over and got their license plate. They drove off the police showed up and the rest is history.

There are four videos, an early one shows the woman coming up to his car with a bicycle while the other people surround the car. This narration by the driver of the car shows that the bearded guy was very involved in the attack on Mr. Allen's car and was not just concerned about the man on the hood as he claimed in the newspaper story I posted above. I knew his crap was bull shit.
There are also screen shots of the various individuals who took part in this terrorism. The bearded guy, at least was doxxed and received death threats. I wonder about the rest?
There was not just harassment - an attempt to enter the car could be charged as burglary in Florida, though maybe not in Washington. With amount of beating on the car, I would not be surprised if there had been damage. Plus, the terrorism that had to have affected the kids should have been a charge.

That was in Spokane, WA awhile back. It made the local news. The car was not stolen.

Wait? They think it's the woman's car so they do property damage to it? That sounds like bull.
