She didn't do anything he didn't do. She made an ass of him in Facebook and he did the same in return. I'm not sure either learned a lesson.

I'm guessing you haven't had a teenage daughter...

I'll get back to you in 12 years or so.

I'm guessing yours didn't grow up with Internet access.

No surprise the daughter acts out. That is a pretty violent response to a domestic situation. Not that I haven't thought about taking the sledgehammer to Calvin's computer. But I haven't done it, let alone film it.

The better response would have been to donate the laptop to charity, or sell it and donate the money. Shooting it was just a waste and doesn't really send the right message. ymmv.

Agreed. Just looks like an excessively angry dad- and perhaps laws were broken by firing a gun in city limits. Just stupid behavior all around.

It was pretty irrational, and it could be seen as domestic violence.

A friend of mine got a DV charge for punching the wall and damaging stuff in the house (small stuff) during an argument with his soon to be ex wife.

The receipt for success.

And, I would add, as I am sure you do, a little love in each.

Pretty cool he has used his 5 mins of fame to raise money for charity though.

Dont think he realized it would go viral.

This man should have considered his options more carefully and waited, until he cooled off, to implement his response. Overall, I'd say he probably lost some parenting ground by behaving immaturely.

he should consider reloading, 1 dollar a pop for .45 ammo is way to much...

I was kinda hoping he would have flipped over the lap top so we could see the exit holes.

It already has over 2 million views. In the last few hours it has received 1/4 million views. Wow, that is viral.
