Dad Shoots Daughter's Laptop Over Facebook Post

Let's see with 6.3 people psm in Australia and 73p psm our population is 14 times more than yours it's also less likely you'd even kill someone or even see one.

Seems like crime gas risen since ban
gun crime australia since ban - Google Search

Crime has risen, but if you read further into the article, you will see that firearm-related deaths had dropped by almost 50% from 1991-2001, which was when the buyback occured following the 1996 Port Arthur shooting. Something which worked IMO, the numbers show a decrease in firearm-related violence/deaths. There is not necessarily a correlation between a rise in crime and the ban.

You are right in the sense that our country is far less densely populated than the USA when you look at the numbers, but about 95% of our country is uninhabitable. So the coastlines are densely populated, probably just as much as most cities over there in the states.
Have I seen guns on the streets of Australia being used? No.
Will I ever see it? Probably not.

The day I need to carry or own a gun to protect myself from the rest of the population of Australia for the simple fact that they are all allowed to own guns is the day that I move out of this country.
Maybe Vanuatu, I hear the weather is pretty nice all year around

"A little moan"? According the guy on the video, she CUSSED OUT her parents on Facebook. I think what he did was awesome!

Yeah, it's always awesome when a grown man goes Rambo on a 15 year old girl.

I think that's actually in Webster's as the very definition of "a little moan", as anything on Facebook is incredibly transient and quickly forgotten, especially as the post in question was only open to her friends, who had probably heard it all before anyway.

I think what he did was awesome!

Well, quite.

Having worked with directly with adolescents with a sense of entitlement the size of a Mack Truck for over 15 years, I applaud this guy. Sure, he could have done without all the dramatic crap, but I do like the end result.

I always find it amusing when parents complain about how lazy, entitled and bratty their children are.

Exactly who do they have to blame for that circumstance?

His words and actions in the video are rife with additional irony.

I just signed up on facebook, youre telling me I need to avoid guys with guns now?

 

[MatticusMania]

Yeah, it's always awesome when a grown man goes Rambo on a 15 year old girl.

context, you gotta love it!
Taking this statement on a stand alone basis really paints an awkward picture.

Am I the only person who's BS alarm is going off? This looks like a set up to me.

 

[Funky Ghost]

I've thought that from the start. It's a little hard to imagine teaching a lesson in economics and responsibility by shooting up a laptop that was recently upgraded. Who really lost out? She didn't buy it.

If it's true... I find it alarming that he procreated. If not, well done sir. Your 15 minutes is up, however. Buh-bye.

The more I see of this story, the more I think the thread title here gives you all the perspective you need.

I mean, just read it again. It's hilarious.

Praise in public. Correct in private. Works at work. Works at home.

Dude's a goober. Humiliating his teenage daughter on a worldwide scale while puffing up his ego.

That.

 

[Pilgrim]

This guy has serious control issues. No wonder his daughter's rebelling.

Everything about this video SCREAMS that this guy has a drill sergeant's view of raising children and is getting the results he has created. Guaranteed that if his daughter goes to college, it will be as far away from dad as it's physically and economically possible to be.

I predict a lonely old age for him.

 

[Angus]

+1.

I predict his daughter's first job will involve a floor to ceiling brass pole and a name change to Misty.

This made me think of the daughter's actual response to that statement. It's in here:

This is the father & daughter responding to everyone's comments.

Thanks for the link, interesting to read the perspective from their side of the story.

But Bloodhammer, then the dudester couldn't have shown the world his raging e-penis.

New TB catch-phrase - and sig-worthy as well.

The second lesson I want her to learn is the value of a dollar.

How exactly do you teach that by showing her yourself destroying something you spent money on?

 

[ADbassman]

How exactly do you teach that by showing her yourself destroying something you spent money on?

I was wondering the same.

The explanation from the family still does nothing for me.

Her response was “Dude… it’s only a computer. I mean, yeah I’m mad but pfft.” She actually asked me to post a comment on one of the threads (and I did) asking what other job fields the victims of laptop-homicide were eligible for because she wasn’t too keen on the stripping thing.

Sounds like this 15 year old girl can roll with it better than the Talk Bass knitting club.
