Video: Tommy Jordan Shoots Daughter's Laptop Over Her Facebook Post
Tommy Jordan's 15-year-old daughter wrote a Facebook post complaining about the chores she has to do at home and how she should be paid for her work.
In response, Jordan shot up his daughter's laptop and posted a video of the shooting online (video below).
In the video, which is titled “Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen,” Jordan sits down in a chair outdoors with a computer print-out. He dedicates the recording to his daughter and “more importantly for all her friends on Facebook who thought that her little rebellious post was cute, and for all you parents out there who think your, you know, kids don’t post bad things on Facebook.”
Jordan then chastises his daughter for thinking she could hide the note from him with privacy settings: “Since you want to hide it from everyone, I’m going to share it with everybody.”
After about seven minutes of rambling, he gets up from the chair and plugs the computer full of lead.

What a waste of a laptop. He should have re-cycled it to a needy organization.
bad computer, naughty child - hooray for Dad.
John Vavryshko IV, agree 100% with your post. I couldn't have said it any better. Ronald Arnce's post is sick, twisted, delusionally NOT main-stream. Extreme use of firearms in unacceptable Ronald!
The wife told me most of the details of the story. The only one Im concerned about, as a gun rights activist, is his using a gun to make his point. This will certainly end up making gun owners look like nuts..or at least the gun owner in the video. I like the point he makes, and the daughter probably deserved having this all made public, but he should have disabled her laptop in some other way than shooting it.
I don't see how shooting an inanimate object can make gun owners look nuts. Now if he shot one of her pets or her, then yes definitely nuts. So...he used her laptop for target practice. He bought it. Like he said, he already tried taking her computer away from her, which would be the same as disabling it, and it did nothing to fix the problem. He had to do something extreme to get her attention. It worked! Somebody using a gun in a way that does not threaten life should not be viewed as negative.
