Man shoots his daughter's laptop

[Memorilla]

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, but I wanted to know what you guys thought of this video (if you haven't seen it already).

Video Contains Rude Words

Show Hide

Long story short: This man finds his daughter complaining about how unfair her life is and how much chores she has to do (not abnormal for a teenager) on FB. He made a little rant video about his daughter which he was going to post on her FB wall. In the end of the video, he shoots his daughter's laptop to "prove a point".

As Youtube is 99.9% of the time filled with idiots who just posts "wat an awsum dad" etc., I just wanted to hear some more "mature" opinions, if any of you will read this at all.

Do you think what he done was appropriate (shooting his daughter's laptop)?

He does seem genuinely upset at points and obviously his morals are different from what would be considered the norm today. That said, shooting the laptop and filming himself doing it couldn't have made it any clearer that he was on a huge power trip. Still I'd rather see some backwater nut shooting his daughter's laptop than beating her mercilessly with a belt like that judge video which emerged a while back.

The girl should have been more careful to not get caught since she knew her dad had such a short fuse. Wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that he was keylogging her while she was oblvious, especially since she was incapable of installing her own software. Also I had to laugh when the guy said he worked in IT then followed it up with "I spent $130 on software".

So yeah, a large overreaction brought on by old fashioned morals but the girl was careless to get caught in the first place imo.

LOL Wow, she sounds like a whiny brat ._. - The stuff she considers "chores" are part of daily life for me... I do all the stuff she says as part of my natural life routine, it's not a "chore" for me. She's completely over-reacting.

Wow I honestly did not expect him to shoot the laptop o.o - Brave man. I do think that's a bit unfair though, tonnes of people post rants on Facebook about their parents and shooting a kid's laptop is just going a bit OTT - "It completely restricts her "e-social life" (considering she uses Facebook and all that over ****) and everyone seems to post EVERYTHING on facebook nowadays, imagine all the drama she'll miss out on :rolleyes:" (Huge sarcasm)

She sounds like a very whiny girl to me though, complaining over 4 tasks which would take you 20 minutes at the most.

Hmmmm. At first I thought he was a mental case. After watching the video I get what he's doing. It's not like this was the first time she posted something like this on Facebook, he warned her before. It was really stupid of her to post it and then ask him to update her laptop if she didn't want him to see it O____O At least delete it before he touched her computer.

I do think it was O.T.T. though.

In her defence, how many teenagers post crap on Facebook about their parents? If every parent shot their kids' laptop because of that then we'd have VERY LITTLE teenagers online.

I agree with LoveToStack, it seemed more like a power trip.

Also, I doubt this will work. She will probably get more pissed off at him, rebel more and it will turn into a vicious cycle. What will he shoot next, her clothes? :|

I saw this a few days ago, and honestly I think what he did was good. It will definitely teach her a lesson. I'm also friends with the guy on Facebook (sent him a request after I saw the video) and he has had to run news stations and talk shows off of his property. He definitely wasn't going it for the attention and so I think he was just trying to teach his daughter a lesson. He could have gone about it in a better way I suppose, but I don't think he ever expected it to go as far as it did. He was probably only expecting his daughter or family to watch it.

I understand why people are saying that the Dad is doing the right thing trying to teach the daughter a lesson and she should be punished, but I completely disagree with this video, on Youtube more than 24 million people have seen the video everyone the girl knows has probably seen it, how embarrassing for her, she will probably be bullied for it. I can't see how she would just accept what he did, i know if i was the girl I would completely turn against him and probably my family seeing as he mentioned the bullet for the mom thing.

I agree they she probably should of been punished, but he took it way too far the girl probably upset about something her parents had when she made the facebook post anyway, she probably wants a little bit ofrecognition for what chores she does do, as some teenagers do nothing.

what, this is absolutely ridiculous she's just a kid
i feel ******* bad for her, not because he shot her laptop, grounded her or whatever
i don't agree with it but i can understand it (the taking away of the laptop, not the psychotic shooting of it?)
but the fact he's ******* asking her to pay him back for the BULLETS that HE shot in her laptop
and the software HE used on her computer, when she probably didn't want it in the first place

His daughter, his rules, his property; his choice.

I had a bit of a debate on this video. I had multiple posts on it so I won't paste them out of context but rather link the spam thread where we discussed it a couple of days ago:

How is that fair? Is it OK for a man to beat his daughter to death because it's his daughter, his rules and on his property?
