Dad shoots daughter's laptop
« on: February 14, 2012, 08:34:03 AM »
Man, I love the Internet!  Some of you probably already know about this, but I guess a teenage girl posted up some complaints about her parents making her do chores and things on Facebook.  So the dad gets a bit upset and not only shoots his daughter's laptop up, but posts a video of him doing it on YouTube!  Remember when people used to keep some things private?

He says at the end she can buy one when she saves up enough money.

The article also says a local place offered her a job.

I also wonder if he did this intentionally to get attention.  I don't see any reason to put this publicly on the web, as he could have kept it strictly in his social circle on Facebook.  it just....feels almost over dramatic.

He didn't put it on the web directly. He put it on his daughter's page and it spread from there.

He didn't do this for publicity.. like X said he posted this on her facebook to embarrass her in front of her friends. It went viral on it's own because it's awesome. It's a warning to kids if your parents are tech savvy don't trash them online or pay the price.

Either he's really good with that .45 or it has a lot less kickback then I thought it would have.

I bet his daughter will think twice before she shoots her mouth off in the future!  Imagine expected her family to pay her for during her chores!!

In the States I found my mate's .45 was easier on it's recoil than his .40!  There are many factors that affect recoil.
