Terrible parenting, all he did was show her that its acceptable to have a temper tantrum and destroy things if you dislike something somebody did. The daughters behaviour was pretty normal, shooting things in temper is not.
Taking it off her and making her buy her own would have been more constructive. |

The father is just like the daughter, but in the position of power in their relationship. She(like a typical teenager) crossed a line that she would have been better off not crossing and the father returned the favor and as a bonus humiliated her publicly. He certainly got back at her, but at the cost of doing permanent damage to the relationship with his daughter. Hope his little tantrum was worth it in the long run. |

This is a "This is your place, stay in it you ****," type of deal; Not an attempt to improve their relationship. If anything, I believe he was aiming to harm, as he mentioned quite a few times that life was about to get a whole lot harder.
What would be awesome, is if he left the laptop on her desk for her to find.

I'd hardly call that permanent. My mother can fart out worse than that and we've still been able to reconcile after 8 years. He gives her a roof over her head, feeds her, puts clothes on her back, and spends a butt load of money to fix her laptop that he also paid for, and she's unhappy because she has to do some chores around the house. Cry me a river. Anytime my parents ask for help I'm Johnny on the spot because it's the least I can do for all they've given me. |

Good to see a life means less to you than a pile of metal and plastic that only lasts an average of 4 years anyways.

Yes, 12 guage would do nicely in a situation like this. Father could have saved himself 6 shots and left a much larger hole right in the middle. |

So... how did daddy-who-works-in-IT get a hold of the daughter's facebook post(s)? If the daughter actually gets a job then maybe she can get a lawyer a pursue a case against her father for accessing her facebook account illegally?

Something tells me she wouldn't make it on her own. Sweeping, wiping, making bed, and doing her own laundry is too much for her so I'd love to see her handle 40+ hours a week working, doing all those same chores plus more, paying bills, making sure whatever vehicle she has is maintained properly, maintaining a house.... |

I bet it was super complicated. She probably set up her facebook to log in automatically (as a home page) and he probably accessed the internet to download something while he was working on it. And like any good parent, I'm sure he didn't want to pass up the chance to peek into his daughters life, whom he is still responsible for at least until she is 18, to make sure she isn't doing anything stupid. |

Seriously. Shooting a laptop? For a Facebook post?
When I was 14 years old, I played Rage Against The Machine's "**** You I won't Do What You Tell Me" sa loud as I could after an argument with my Mum.
She didn't come into my room and blow up my stereo.
We sat down and she told me that she was pretty pissed at my reaction. We talked it through and that was the end of it.
This **** is what makes some people slightly worried about Americans.
Whilst it made me laugh - I am not sure it was for the reason somebody put it out there.
Edit - appears the "obfuscation of commonly used adult language" filter has been turned up a bit Aaaaaaand relax. |

Ofcourse she would. She would have trouble adjusting to things, but after that short initial period she would be just fine and propably enjoying her life much more than she does now. You're taking a typical rebelling teenager who feels she is just doing things for other people, for reasons that she doesn't really care about and is used to comforts and being taken care of, to meaning she is simply incapable of taking any responsibility or work hard in any situation.
I assume you were a teen once and knew people who didn't appreciate how good things were for them, who hated chores, who felt they had little control in what they were currently doing, who went against the flow just because, who hated school and studying, but their parents forced them to go and heard all kinds of other complaints, that seemed very important then, but are ridiculous when you look at them now from a more objective perspective of an adult. I can count myself and all who I knew as a teen in one of those categories and every one of us grew up to be normal responsible adults. |

I knew some! 2 went to prison before graduating high school, 1 became homeless and is probably dead, 1 girl I know disappeared, and I buggered off to the Marines. 
A friend of mine from middle school graduated university at age 17 and probably has a Phd or 3 by now but he had a good life at home (kinda). Crazy overbearing christian mother...

I honestly believe that the case here is she displayed a lack of respect for her parents.
I had it relatively easy in my upbringing. All I was required was to study, wake up on time and in return I was given a roof and food on the table.
The only thing that was intolerable in my home however, was disrespect. Did it matter that I had bad grades at school? Yes it did, but the punishment for that was next to nothing if I ever did stuff in the scope she did.

Well, in a sense, she was doing something stupid that has ended quite bad for her laptop...  EVE residents: 5% Wormholes; 8% Lowsec; 20% Nullsec; 67% Highsec. CSM 6: 100% Nullsec residents.

It is not easy to be a parent, I am sure he is a better father than many others. It is obvious that he cares and I would not go as far as to assume they have a bad relationship because of what happened. Now if more parents cared as much as he does, perhaps things would be for the better. |

For me, the part that struck a chord with me is how she has been blatantly lying about how she is being forced to do the chores for pretty much everyone, and that she is making herself out to be some kind of slave while claiming they already have a "Cleaning lady" [Who is, instead, no such thing] which shows a great deal of disrespect.
You have to take into account that she was warned against this sort of thing in the past, and she didn't learn her lesson, and instead escalated matters in such a way that paints the parents themselves in a dangerous light, when in fact it is completely inaccurate.
The guy probably just used the gun in order to stop her from whining insistently to get the laptop back, as he is in the IT business he knows better than to re-sell a laptop that a child has been using to get the money back, and simply keeping it around increases the likelyhood of her getting it back in the future in a moment of poor judgement, setting a bad example.
The girl just learned that trashing people has consequences, and that it isn't cool to exaggerate how bad your life is in order to get pity or attention. All I can say is, she better have learned her lesson by now or life is going to be one harsh taskmaster for her.

Because you know, people who post public videos of their angry rants and property destruction are always 100% honest. How do you know it isn't the father who is blatantly lying about being a complete {censored term for the end of the human digestive system} to his daughter?
(Or just making the whole thing up, since shooting a broken laptop is a small price to pay for internet fame.) |

Bottom line: if you treat your parents with disrespect in such a way, you should be punished. This was not the first but second time this had happened. Obviously she didn't learn her lesson the first time after having them taken away, just like all the bleeding hearts are suggesting. That tactic didn't take with her so he had to get drastic. Whether it were a pistol, a shotgun, an axe, or a sledgehammer, the point was driven home quick, fast, and in a hurry by destroying the computer he bought and maintained for her. "Your" computer is really "MY" computer because "I" bought it with "MY" money for you, and if you are going to live under "MY" roof and eat the food "I" provide for you and wear the clothes "I" provide for you as well, then you WILL respect mah authoritah. As long as you are under the age of 18, I am your legal guardian and I am responsible for your actions and will be held responsible should something serious happen to you. That said, if I feel that destroying something you take for granted that I gave you in order to snap you out of your self-absorbed haze, I will do it.
If you people can't understand that then you're probably still living with your parents because you're closer in age to the daughter than the father.
Were my child EVER to speak to me the way she spoke about her parents, I'd slap the mouth off of him/her. Oh, you wanna call the cops? Go ahead and call the cops. You'd better call an ambulance as well because your'e gonna need that one too. |

The thing is both the dad and the people cheering him on have confused discipline and punishment for petty revenge. All he did was destroy the laptop because it was the thing she used to make the comments that offended him. Teens being disrespectful like that behind their parents back like that is normal behaviour.
Every teen hates their parents at some stage, but all he has done is increased the resentment. It wont stop her making comments like that again either she just wont be using that computer, its changed nothing and possibly made her more resentful.
If he cannot get along with his daughter and things like this have been going on for a while its obvious there are deeper problems within their relationship. I would bet a weeks supply of cookies that as a person who destroys things in temper that the dad is as much to blame for the problems as the daughter. Both he and his daughter need to work on their relationship, as the responsible adult that supposedly older and wiser he needs to begin the process. Punish and discipline her when she crosses the line but taking petty revenge isn't the answer.
As for the "he feeds her and clothes her and puts a roof over her head" side of the argument perhaps he should have thought about that 16 years ago, if he begrudges the burden of having dependants he should have kept his **** in his pants. |
