A bullet through the laptop does not a father make

[Theo]

One can both be a father and a YouTube a*hole!

 

[Vincent]

hope it's just a comedy video to bring traffic. that video is indeed scary.

 

[Theo]

Unfortunately, it's not comedy. The guy's 100% serious in what he did.

 

[Stian]

And the father of the year award goes to ..

 

[DomainsInc]

whats really scary is how many people seem to think what he did was good parenting.

 

[stewie]

that video is 100% proof that you should always get that 3 year (full coverage) extended warranty...lmao ound:

 

[iBizStart]

I think it was great parenting, anyone who disagrees is a bad parent

 

[Theo]

This gets even better

why? involving a gun to discipline a child is just insane and violent.

Only in America.

Can't see what all the fuss is about. He shot her laptop, not her. Would it have been OK if he just took a hammer to it?
And why all the hysteria about this guy? There are millions of fathers who abandon their kids, abuse them, and simply neglect them. But somehow, shooting some holes in a laptop takes the prize?

Besides which, anybody find it interesting that he's selling a book - and that we haven't heard from the daughter?

This. This bloke is a nutjob that deserves the shit kicked outta him - regardless of what the daughter said. For the daughter to have that much hate to say that shit obviously is reflective of him as a parent. The comments on YT don't surprise me in the slightest, the site is full of uneducated ignorant people that wouldn't know any better.

The guy responds to people's questions and issues: http://mashable.com/2012/02/11/dad-addresses-facebook-laptop-shooting/

Child services and the cops were called. Cops told him "...kudos". And oh yeah the daughter doesn't give a shit. Her reaction: ""Dude... it's only a computer. I mean, yeah I'm mad but pfft"

Someone needs to come up with unbreakable smartphone and bulletproof laptop.

 

[Theo]

Someone claims it was a hoax.

 

[silentg]

The guy on the video claims that Tommy isn't an IT guy and he posted a link in the description as proof. If you see Tommy's job description from the site below, you'll see that he did own a IT company. Looks like this old guy wants to gain views for his channel by lying to people that the whole facebook parenting video was a hoax.

Tommy Jordan: Administrative and Technical Staff

Tommy grew up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After graduating high school he went spent the next 14 years in Greenville, North Carolina where he opened his own IT Consulting and computer networking company, Twisted Networx. He traveled the world for a few years as a Project Manager for an overseas firm and eventually found and fell in love all over again with his high school sweetheart, Dr. Amy.He moved to Albemarle, NC in 2010 to start a family with Dr. Amy and together they have a house-full of ever-increasing numbers of children and pets! His dog Bonnie is never far from his side and travels with him most everywhere he goes.Tommy handles the administrative processes for the spay-neuter clinic, maintains the website, and assists with the technological and day-to-day operations in the clinic when we have in-clinic spays and neuters scheduled.

 

[Theo]

Right. He calls himself an "IT" guy but the video exposes him as "jack of all trades" and master of none. Google his name with "III" at the end and you'll find his resume. He didn't even finish college.

 

[silentg]

He did work in the field though (according to his resume). This guy has so many sites.

 

[Theo]

After watching the new video I don't believe the shooting video is real. Even the reviews on Amazon for his ebook are crap.
