Re: Angry Dad Shoots Daughter’s Laptop
I find this very upsetting for two reasons:
1) I don't own a gun like that. (had to type that quietly so Glockie didn't hear)
2) I didn't think about doing it first!

Re: Angry Dad Shoots Daughter’s Laptop
It was self defense, he was clearly being attact by the laptop. It was a hard lesson, I hope she learned from it. I also liked the part when she's not grounded anymore, "what ever year that is."
IANAL
Re: Angry Dad Shoots Daughter’s Laptop
anybody notice that he had to cock the hammer to fire the first round? it looked like a typical GI 1911. did he lower the hammer onto a live round?!

Re: Angry Dad Shoots Daughter’s Laptop
The original JMB designed 1911 was designed so it could be de-cocked one handed by cavalry troops on horseback. I believe it was an Army requirement. It has to do with how the hammer hits and depresses the grip safety.alexrex20 wrote:anybody notice that he had to cock the hammer to fire the first round? it looked like a typical GI 1911. did he lower the hammer onto a live round?!
Whether any current "GI" pistols work the same way is a question I don't know the answer to.

Re: Angry Dad Shoots Daughter’s Laptop
That is one mistake I hope she learns from! It was his laptop, his bullets, a safe backdrop, and his daughter he was disciplining. He did no physical damage to her, and made a very serious point that needed to be made. Facebook is not a venting place for childish anger. People get fired all the time for doing the very same thing. Losing a laptop at 15 may seem terrible but losing a job in five years would be much worse. A very hard and expensive lesson, but one worth teaching.

Originally it was a way for college students to hook up and keep in touch. Then they allowed high school jb. Then anybody. Now companies have facebook pages.
I had an account in 2006 but dropped off when the standards dropped. Back then people would have laughed AT someone who said they want to friend walmart.

Re: Angry Dad Shoots Daughter’s Laptop
I had the same thought. But then there wouldn't have been anything left to give his daughter.steve817 wrote:I'm thinking about a pound of tannerite myself.SRH78 wrote:Personally, I would have used a shotgun.Pawpaw wrote:I have absolutely now problem with what he did, but I think planting a double-bit axe in the laptop would have had a much more dramatic effect than the bullet holes.

When I see stuff like that, I sympathize. But I also realized how fully blessed I've been with my three and their momma.

Re: Angry Dad Shoots Daughter’s Laptop
We have gone through similar scenarios with my daughter that sparked this man to make this video, although my daughter never posted a letter like that on FB. But the laziness, the disrespect and the b**ching that she gets treated like a "slave" was all there. We have come up with some pretty creative punishments, and she got a LOT of stuff taken away - cell phone, computer, car. I will be showing this video to her when she gets home from school, to show her that it all could've been much worse in terms of punishment. I applaud this man for trying to teach his child respect and discipline.

I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.
Re: Angry Dad Shoots Daughter’s Laptop
Just a redneck Daddy raisin' his redneck daughter. She throws a temper tantrum and posts bad stuff about Daddy on Facebook, so he throws an adult temper tantrum and shoots her laptop. It could have been handled a lot more positively. Maybe he could have given the laptop to the lady who actually DOES clean their house...........or donated it to someone else who needed it instead of destroying it....... (It was still funny though!)
