A Rockville Centre
attorney is under arrest after allegedly holding a suspected teenage
prankster at gunpoint until officers arrived at her home Sunday night,
Nassau County police said.
Bernadette Greenwald, 47, apparently lost her cool after someone
repeatedly rang her doorbell and ran from the home around 11:15 p.m.
Sunday.
The “ding, dong, ditch” prank was apparently carried out three times
and after the last incident, police said Greenwald, a former Bronx
Assistant District Attorney, grabbed her .9 mm pistol and fired one round into the air in front of her house.
Police said Greenwald later saw a 17-year-old boy walking in front of
her N. Forest Avenue home. She allegedly approached the teen and
pointed the gun at him. Greenwald’s husband, a retired Air Force pilot apparently
returned home to discover the youth inside his home.
“[Greenwald's husband] arrived during the incident. He did see his
wife with a gun. It’s a licensed gun, it is registered to her. In the
house with the wife holding the gun, He pulled the kid outside the
house, and waited for the police,” attorney Mitchell Barnett said.
According to court papers, a 17-year-old teen testified “I had 5 or 6
beers” and then walked towards the Greenwald’s home. “A woman appeared
at the front door with a gun,” papers said. “I was scared…I put my
hands up in the air.”
The teen’s shaken mother told CBS 2′s Jennifer McLogan: “I’m very emotional right now. My son did not do anything wrong.”
Greenwald has been charged with menacing, reckless endangerment and
prohibited use of a dangerous weapon. The married mother of two declined
to comment on her arrest when reached by 1010 WINS.
Barnett, said his client was home alone with her two children Sunday
night and felt threatened. He also contended that the teenager had been
found loitering on the Greenwald property in the past. From here:
Ok, I'll come back an a day to two and "reveal" the identy of the idiot lib and the essential characteristics that served to "out" the lib. Meanwhile, go ahead and give it your best shot.
I have some thoughts on what I would have considered:
- Get the gun, stay in the house, call the cops.
- Tomorrow, setup a "clothesline" that can be tripped from inside the house. And by "tripped" I mean you raise the rope from the ground to neck high.
- Fill a super-soaker with paint, grab my cell phone (and pistol - just in case it's not playtime,) and hide in the bushes or around a corner. After spraying the jackass with paint, call the cops and go inside to put the gun away.

Ok, the lib is the mom of the moron.
The teen’s shaken mother told CBS 2′s Jennifer McLogan: “I’m very emotional right now. My son did not do anything wrong.”
Right - did nothing wrong -- except being out late at night illegally drinking and bothering people on their own property. Now I see where the teenager gets his idiocy from.
