Exclusive: Teens Pelt Driver With Bricks, Stones
Woman Says She Only Tried To Stop A Fight Between Them

Reporting
(CBS 11 News) DALLAS A woman trying to break up a fight says she was attacked in broad daylight. The woman's truck was pelted with bricks and stones by nearly 50 teenagers in an upscale neighborhood in Dallas. The victim says it was caught on video, but the tape has yet to surface.
According to a police report, the teenagers used stones and bricks from a nearby construction site. The victim says she’s upset that no arrests have been made.
Classes at North Dallas High School in uptown had just let out when Kris Martin was approaching the intersection of Travis and Haskell.
I saw probably 50 kids, and there was absolutely no way that anybody could get through this intersection because they were fighting in a group," said Martin. "Plus, they were video taping it from the curbs. I mean they were everywhere."
Attempting to put a stop to it, she inched closer. "And I just started honking, and I thought if I lay on this horn enough, they'll stop," she said.
But the teenagers were defiant, and instead of running, they attacked.
"So as they approached, they started throwing bricks at my windshield. I dialed 911," she said. "I knew it was a bad situation."
All of this took place in front of a construction site in an up-scale neighborhood. At least a half-dozen workers witnessed the attack.
"They started throwing rocks at her," said Luis Soria who witnessed the attack. "They were big rocks, baseball size rocks."
The dents and scratches are quite apparent on Martin's truck, and she's certain her attackers are students at nearby North Dallas High.
"These punks are not going to take over this neighborhood," Martin said.
That's why Martin sent a letter to the Dallas Independent School District demanding action.
"If somebody had a gun, or if a brick had gone through my windshield, then I would have lost more than I would have gained," Martin said.

Lesson learned:
Civil disturbance SHTF type occurences can happen anywhere at any time involving anyone. As such use your head and most importantly common sense. This woman thought she was 'Dyna-Girl' but she must have forgotten that her show was cancelled decades ago and kids now days have near zero respect for nor fear of their elders. Hell if anything they have contempt for them (us) and themselves too.
When driving down the road and faced with a situation like this be it a smalll melee or an all out riot, do not try to drive through it when other options are available such as reversing and going an alternate way (!). You ain't the damn cops nor in a cop car...not that the cops would attempt doing such a stiupid thing as she did. If there are no other options though and it's you or taking a brick to the head through your windshield, well then you have to make your choices. I personally would select 'L' or 'D2' and make like Ivan Stewart. If that meant clipping some flip flop wearing folks toe nails in the process or worst running into and over bitches, well then it's me or them...and I must be home for supper with my kids. My car can be repeaired and I'd rather go to court alive & well to explain why I ran over Little Johnny and his crew than be laid out in ICU as Johnny and his unscratched buddies in his momz basement post pics & video of the fracas on MySpace and YouTube.
