A Long Island mom was so fed up with someone constantly ringing her doorbell and running away that she grabbed her pink 9mm pistol, bolted outside, and fired off a round before holding a neighborhood teen at gunpoint until police arrived.
“I shot that gun yesterday for the first time. I felt like I had balls,” former Bronx prosecutor Bernadette Greenwald, 37, boasted to cops not long after the childish game of “ding-dong ditch” caused her to snap.
She initially told cops that the neighborhood teen rang the bell twice, and on the third time threatened to rape her and kill her children.

HUH? Is that a crime?
Why yes, it IS!
Pretty hefty fines here in Nevada.

Yep, not going to cry at this one's funeral. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Cops run stings here.
They bust sellers, and buyers.
Pretty sure you can get jail time, does not matter if it’s one beer or hard liquor.
There appear to be no facts in the story that supports that assertion.
It's the crazy MILF that police say changed her story.
When I was a kid in Houston Texas, ringing door bells was a regular game in my neighborhood, now as an adult I realize how annoying and frustrating that must be.
I’m glad that I grew up in the 50s when all we had to deal with was angry WWII and Korean war vets, who wouldn’t kill us.
Nope I am sure the wittle baby is as pure as the driven snow.
