I didn’t. Which is what makes my post godlike and yours spudly.
What I saw in the video was Cowboy Wesker doing 9 Samurai Edge’s to a perfect:
No other assists, no glasses, no health, no meter, no X-factor, no other moves…
…just swag.
So you make a personal attack in the second paragraph, but hide behind the fact that you yourself recognize that it does not stem from any “valid points or concerns” and therefore unsound?
His daughter didn’t do anything that teenagers haven’t been doing since the dawn of modern humans. Teenagers will always be rebellious and resist authority just as the elderly will slow down and forget things. It’s a phase that all teenagers go through regardless of what their parents do.
However, if this guy believes that his daughter acting out is a serious problem, then it’s not hard to see where she gets it from. If it isn’t just teen angst and his daughter truly feels animosity towards her parents, then he needs to sit down with his daughter and possibly seek professional help to find out what the root cause of the problem is instead of acting like a petty and vengeful child himself and doing something to get her back. By doing what he did, he’s teaching her that when someone steps our of line and bruises your ego, it’s okay to engage in outlandish actions to show them who’s boss. This will do nothing but alienate his daughter from him even more, and if he keeps this up, I wouldn’t be surprised if he never sees his grandchildren.
I read a comment in the link in the OP that they talked it out and everything is fine. Just because he said she’ll never get a laptop again doesn’t mean that it can’t be negotiated. And maybe now she’ll go out and find a job. Maybe now she’ll realize why it’s important to keep your living space clean (I know waaaaay too many people who live like pigs. I mean really what’s so hard about a single man keeping his bathroom, kitchen, and bed room clean. If you spent an hour a day cleaning your place should look great). Maybe the next time she wants to act out what her hormones are telling her she should she won’t and just approach the issue like an adult.
Not to mention that even bad publicity is good publicity. This girl’s dad calmly went HAM on her over the internet (and clearly spent time discussing it with his wife so he didn’t come in like some raging sociopath). Even if she does end up looking like an idiot at school she’s going to have so much more popularity now.
Way too early to tell whether or not everything is fine.
She’s not going to approach any issue like an adult since her father is teaching her that getting revenge by any means necessary for a bruised ego is more important.
You’re not a psychologist or any kind of medical specialist, you’re not qualified to determine whether or not he’s a sociopath without an extensive series of tests, you’re just throwing the word to add cheap emotional impact to your “argument”. Honestly I lurk this site quite at lot and the amount of utter shite you chat is staggering sometimes.
I agree. I doubt this will hold over until she is 18 or whatever. Dad was just showing his daughter some tough love. Some of you make it sound like every time she misbehaves Dad is going to shoot something. Nothing but a boot in the ass to his daughter and Facebook.
Okay.
So you’re an idiot, and an asshole who just stopped in on the way to his psychiatry office, in order to make an asinine personal attack, and now back to lurking under a bridge like the troll you are?
Duly noted.
And zero fucks given.

he fought fire with fire, and people here get pissy. Wow, so many fucking kids in this thread, proving why they will be a failure as a parent.
His daughter embarassed him online, he did the same to her. At least he didn’t personally show her picture or say her full name or anything. Sure he went a little over the top, but who cares, what’s the point of making a youtube video of him taking away her laptop so she gets it in the future.
She basically slandered a handful of people, and thought she got away with it. He made an awesome punishment out of it, and got some media attention out of it.
I thought it was brilliantly done, and I for one commend him on it.
Fuck off all these beta white knights flying around GD with their head up their ass. If that was my daughter, that same shit would have happened, in addition to getting a belt fed whupping. You only have to ask her once to not say bad things about you on facebook, when you ask with a dropkick.
Scott, you are my boy, and all that shit, but c’mon:
Slander is a legal term, and even if it were to be proven that she was exaggerating (we have only extremely biased hearsay to go on), there was absolutely nothing in her pissy little tantrum that comes even close to being slander.
Ain’t nobody white knighting the kid - I’ve looked through the thread, and not a damned soul is.
The only real argument to be had here is whether Redneck Daddy is an unhinged fuckwit or not.
Considering the proximity of street traffic to where he threw his counter-tantrum, one would like to believe that anyone with an ounce of sense would be in the “he’s a fuckwit” camp.
That only leaves the unhinged part up for debate.

Parent of the decade.
“She responded to the video with “I can’t believe you shot my computer!” That was the first thing she said when she found out about it. Then we sat and we talked for quite a long while on the back patio about the things she did, the things I did in response, etc.” taken from the article in response to everyone.
In summary, chill. She fine, he’s fine. No “unhealthy communication”, “boundaries” or “confrontation”. Shes even quoted in her response “Dude… it’s only a computer. I mean, yeah I’m mad but pfft.”
^A quote from the link in the OP. So somewhere in the sea of comments are his daughters response. So you must think that this man’s daughter is so weak that she can’t bounce back from this? That he can’t apologize for going a bit too far or work out or discuss things? That being humiliated on the internet is the end of someone’s life? She’s 15! People go through worse and turn out better.
Let’s look a little further than replies in a comments section.
First of all, we don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. Secondly, if you want to know why kids end up fucked up, 99% of the time, they learn it by watching their parents. If you want to know why his daughter acts the way she does, then look no further than her egomaniacal father and his anger issues.
Yes, people go through worse, but that’s neither here nor there. Publicly humiliating his daughter because he was butthurt wasn’t the way to go. This guy threw a temper tantrum because of nothing more than typical teenage behavior. He could have kept this private and made an effort to find out why his daughter is acting this way, but instead, he decided to that his ego was more important and that he needed to get her back.
This dope Clu2 is so hung up on the idea of this guy using a gun to destroy the laptop its ridiculous. He’s reaching hard. Oh no the traffic!
I bet on new years when everyone is bustin’ caps into the air clu2 is hiding under his bed in a fetal position singing twinkle twinkle little star.
People die from those New Years bullets, Shemp.
All the time.
But I guess you’d be cool with one of them falling on your daughter’s head?
I’d hope not.

Yeah, people die all the time driving on the freeway. Guess I better avoid those from now on. People die walking down the street all the time. Guess I better not take my kids for a walk anymore. People die being struck by lightening (which is about as common as getting struck by a falling bullet) so I guess I’ll just stay inside when its cloudy out. I bet a shit load of people die every year when a lone man shoots a pistol into the ground in the middle of nowhere.
You know, the likelihood of one of those bullets ricocheting off a rock or some other obstruction and hitting one of those cars (or its driver) is about as likely as if he hit the laptop with a hammer and the battery flew out of it and hit a car (or its driver).
While your post above was funny, considering I lived in a country where firing into the sky at New Year’s was a common practice, and that a little girl died because of it, I wouldn’t really go around taking that shit so lightly.
Fun Fact: Golfers are the most common group of people to get struck by lightning since they play a game that requires them to hit small balls with lightning rods. Unfortunately the description is way manlier than the actual game.
Not really, no.
Statistics not your strong suit, drizzle-mc-frizzle?
Peope die in traffic all the time! So let’s start shooting shit in public - where tons of cars are driving by, at a slow enough velocity to strongly imply a busy suburban environ! Yeah… great correlation there, champ.

A kid died down the street from my house. He was crossing the street and hit by a car. Shit happens. Life goes on.
From what I have read this dude is a very good father. No one was killed by a stray bullet. The world is as right as its gonna get for now.
Ive always thought you were a moron clu but you have confirmed it for me. Just like some other dude here, I once had 0 respect for you and now I have about -100 respect for you.
