HOUSTON (KTRK) -- There's a warning about a trick a group of men is using to lure women and rob them. They set up a fake road block on Woodson Park near Lake Houston Parkway in northeast Harris County and attacked a woman who was driving by.

What happened to this woman and her daughter was so frightening she says they relive it every day.

Woodson Park Drive near Humble is very familiar to a woman ABC13 isn't identifying. She lives nearby. But on the night of April 22, something wasn't right.

"It was late at night; it was dark," she said.

There was something unfamiliar.

"Cones were all the way across, all the way across," she said.

It was a precursor to something violent.

"I thought they were going to kill us," she said.

She and her teenage daughter were on their way home that night when they came upon cones blocking the entire street.

"So that meant I couldn't even go in that lane," she said.

Within seconds, three to four men ran out from the trees and surrounded the car. One had a pistol, another was trying to open the door, and the one on her side had a shotgun and was yelling.

"Get out of the car, get out the MF car," she recalled him saying.

Just like gangs pretending to be cops, executing no-knock warrants to perpetrate home invasions....

I was thinking accents, if any, and clothing.

Frankly, it sounded like typical Juarez stuff.

The difficult part of the answer to this is to actually locate and identify the perps.

The easy part of the answer is to kill them without hesitation.

...Let's start with the federal government. Let's count the number of federal agency's that are armed with weapons and uniforms that have the authority to trespass on private property to break down doors to announce they have a warrant to invade a home at gunpoint to ask questions...

...Now, lets talk about states rights to have state or local police officers with ID, to knock on doors to serve warrants legally. And make no mistake, be armed and if assaulted by individuals inside, shoot to kill...

...Now, lets talk about a trillion useless laws passed by congress to deal with the issue of law enforcement. One word, no, two, It's BULLSH!T! They have no right!!!

...Who are they going to send to your door if you haven't sent in your census form? Part time workers with firearms to demand you show your FOOKIN PAPERS, when they don't show theirs???

I think Jethro Bodine had a double naught spy car that did that- with an ejector seat, as well.

Say, this would be a good time to be armed, wouldn't it?!

There's a warning about a trick a group of men is using

Trick??

A very odd term to be used for this incident.

Ambush, trap and attempted robbery or murder would be more like it.
