Seriously - WTF?! I wish I was there, a 10 gauge with buck shots would have shown who's boss...

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Some San Jose residents were begging for the public's help Thursday night after they were attacked by teens with skateboards, NBC11's Charlotte Fadipe reported.

Maria, Jason, and Dan did not want to reveal their last names because the attack left them seriously injured and terrified, Fadipe reported.

They were at a stoplight on Foxworthy and Meridian avenues in San Jose in a brand-new Lexus, coming home from a church party on New Year's morning.

Police said for no apparent reason a group of about 12 teenagers began hitting the vehicle with their skateboards.

"My heart was racing. It was like something out of a scary movie where someone is after you," said Maria. "I was thinking, God please stop. Why us? Why us? Who are they? I was terrified.""(I felt) just fear, absolute fear. I've never been through anything this traumatic in my life," Jason said. "

The driver's side has the biggest damage of the door below the handle. That blow was aimed towards her head. That's the force they were aiming at her head."Jason and Maria had gotten married recently. Dan was a passenger in the car.Blood was still visible in the vehicle as NBC11 interviewed the victims Thursday.

The teenagers, both girls and boys, were dressed in black.Maria spent much of Thursday handing out fliers with information on a $10,000 award for anyone with information on the attackers and what happened.

Dan was beaten the worst, Fadipe reported.Doctors said his injuries would take a year to heal."I took one to the forehead, one to the back of the head -- a couple to the arm (and) to my back," said Dan."They were going for his head with these weapons," said Jason."I want to cry," Maria said.

"Because it's not fair that he is in pain because some kids were punks. So I want to cry."

"They almost killed a man," Jason said. "They could have killed my wife, and they had complete utter disrespect for any human life or anything. It was relentless disrespect, relentless violence."

The couple said police officers have told them their case is not a top priority because the department is understaffed.

But late Thursday, San Jose police told Fadipe they were investigating the matter and want witnesses to come forward.

The couple said they hope the $10,000 reward would speed up the process.

The car will cost about $20,000 to repair, Fadipe reported.

 

meh. punk kids suck.

 

^^Seriously! Wtf!!!
I am puzzled as to why the driver didnt floor the Lex and fled?!

 

Yah, why didn't he just take off, or run them over or something.

 

Wow, there are some pathetic people in this world.

 

WTF? the wife was at the wheel.
Jees, I skateboard still on the half here and there but never wanted to be a stupid punk doing stupid things like that. What's wrong with these kid's parents...

 

Man UNBELIEVABLE! WTF is wrong with these kids. To me getting caught by the cops isnt enough they need a good old fashion *** WHOOPIN!

 

WTF is this world coming to?

 

I have a feeling they will get caught. Too many kids involved and kids tend to brag and gossip like crazy.

 

yea maybe they post it on youtube or myspace....damn punks>whip them & go to jail

 

I hope so, too!

This is so unbelievable, I wonder, if the above is the full story of how it started. There are quite a few open questions. What started it, why this car, why didn't they drive away, ... ???

We might know more once they caught these rowdies.

 

guns don't kill people, skateboards do.

I have a feeling we are hearing one part of the story. Not the part where the driver of the car almost hit one of the kids on his skateboard, but it still doesn't justify what happened.

That intersection is like 1 mile from my house. Not a rough area, middle class punk kids that probably hang out at the frozen yogurt shop on the corner.

So sad.

 

Unfortunately I got a feeling some of those kids just ruined the rest of their life with that silly maneuver. I'm sure their parents will be proud..

 

That is sad, feel bad for those 3 innocent people. Those kids are scum and deserve to die. Wonder how the cops and news media would react if one of those stupid kids got run over in the act of bashing the car.
