"In a seemingly normal, quiet village community, the recent threat of gun violence against children has put a neighborhood on edge," reads the lede sentence in a Daily Mail front-pager next to a photo of one of Catskills' more striking historic homes. "Last week, a Greene County Court decision has allowed a 63-year-old woman to keep a 9mm pistol that she told police she would use to kill a neighbor’s child." The story is all about how a non-practicing attorney and real estate dealer who renovated a classic old home in the village over the past three years, told police in a 911 call last year that she would open fire on juveniles because she felt threatened by them. Leading up to that incident, the woman described months of intimidation and harassment from others renting some some of the multi-family homes still dominating the once-staid neighborhood. She added that she has carried a pistol in her pocket each time she walked her dog since receiving a concealed weapon permit in March 2010. Following her September 26 call, however, a county judge ordered the woman's pistol permit be suspended since Catskill police told the judge they felt she was unfit to possess the weapon after she had made threats against her neighbor's children, with the county district attorney’s office in agreement. Further revocation hearings in November brought out further accusations between the woman and one of her neighbors, including intimations of gender discrimination, anti-Semiticism, sexual bias, and economic disparity.Multiple calls to the Catskill Police Department included complaints about leaves being raked onto sidewalks, loud music being played, harassment of contractors, and yelling outside. As a result of the back and forth, Catskill Police Chief David Darling called for a stop on basketball courts in village streets and is exploring an ordinance to do so. At the conclusion of Colin DeVries story, whose use of names we felt uncomfortable with given the delicacy of the situation, Chief Darling said he doesn’t want this situation to escalate and a gun should have never been involved.
