I think I just saw emotional scars make the generational leap from parent to child.

[mightymanx]

Father of the year material right there.

(I am not being sarcastic)

[Glass]

sounds like a long list of daily chores. Have to do that every day? Make all the beds in the house? Wash the floor every day?

[joboo]

I suppose the question is is this video going to improve or harm the father daughter relationship.

I'd say the latter.

Smoked the laptop with a full clip? uhhh...wtf?

[Glass]

another thing I'm wondering is Father or Step Father? yes I think this is just making hate.

let me ask a question. If you can't contract until 18 (in a factual sense children contract all the time despite the fact it's unlawful) is any one under that age actually bound by any terms of service agreement. If a term can be enacted I'm pretty sure that's contract. The last time in history children were able contract was in the 1700-1800 especially post irish famine era. Many children contracted in court and found themselves transported as a result.

edit: I'm thinking of how for some one to be able to use Facebook they need to enter into a contract. Lawfully, it seems to me that no child should be using Facebook.

Father actually showing some back bone?

cleary child protective services need to be called!

I think it's poorly handled. I know Bill Cosby once told his kids he bought them into the world and he could damn well take them out of it. Shooting up the computer was a bit much. Posting it on the net. Well thats just going to make the girl some kind of martyr now. What was the 3 months grounding was for? This girl must have done something awful bad.

I think this will go viral in a negative way for ol' Dad there. Cue CPS. I'm not saying they got a right but that never stopped them. Shoulda kept it private. Block internet. Now there's a thought. For me grounding was no TV, radio/music. Books only. No internet then but that would be gone for sure. ..... So there's your problem. Turn off the net Dad!

[mick silver]

need more men like him . you can not take back this country till the kids learn something . and he just started at the best place for that . my kids worked for there food as i did

[iOWNme]

Chances are this mans daughter learned everything she knows about being rude and selfish from.........Cue it...........Him!

Punishing your child WILL NOT change his/her actions. Did it change yours as a child?

If you want to use FEAR to mold your child, dont be surprised when that decision comes back to haunt you.

[GeneBlaze]

You Might be a redneck if

you shoot up your daughter's computer because you don't like a message she wrote on Facebook.

[Ares]

Probably about the same thing I would do. I had chores growing up. Yeah I pissed and moaned when I had to do them, but it's part of life. I'd probably go a bit further and remove her FaceBook account.

[willie pete]

I can understand his frustration, but I would've handled it differently

[goldleaf]

My kids didn't have computers when they were at home, or cell phones. Didn't have any more problems than when I was a kid.
5 of them are in their 20's now, got all that junk, and are more problem now than they ever were when they were home. I would have been as upset as this guy is but don't think I would have posted it. I can't stand foul mouthed women and young girls talking like this just makes me sad.

[PlatinumBlonde]

One big ole fat NEGATIVE lesson learned here.

[EE_]

If all the child did was to post a disrespectful letter about her father, it was wrong to destroy her property. If dad has a problem with facebook, he should take it up with the people that have sucked all of our youth into this web of technology/mind control. This girl will be walking around with a chip on her shoulder over this. Violence begets violence.

Here's my theory, and I believe it's as as valid as anyone else's because no one here knows shit about the reality in that household, including me.

Going on the premise that the family has a cleaning lady, yet Hannah has a boatload of chores to do everyday (those described sound like the cleaning lady's job), here's what I think:

Dad is banging the cleaning lady, and Hannah finds out, and realizes this is why Hannah is doing the cleaning lady's job. She is understandably pissed. Instead of confronting her father directly (or she may have, and been dismissed by him), she posts this tirade on facebook as a hint (or threat). This video by daddy is a counterthreat to Hannah to keep her piehole shut or else.

Ain't speculation fun?

[LastResort]

His daughter will be a fine stripper one day.

[solid]

. Violence begets violence.

Shooting her laptop in retaliation for a letter posted really sets a bad example,imo. It's basically showing the daughter it's OK to shoot things when you are emotionally upset. This does not set well for gun safety also.

Growing up, I was raised to look up to my father. I still do. In our family, our parents, both mother and father lead by example. They taught us through their own actions. I look at it as leading men into battle. If you want them to charge over the hill into the fight, you've got to be the first one to lead the charge. You can't sit back, and kick them, embarrass them, etc to get them to fight.

It's good for the father to show some backbone, one doesn't see that much anymore, espessially from a white man. It's childish for him to unload a clip on his daughters laptop and post it on her facebook.

Losing your cool is not backbone, imo, it's the exact opposite. Remaining calm, leading by example, and instilling values. You can not teach children values if you don't have them yourself.

He had backbone to do something about it, it was childish to shoot the laptop. I would have just taken it and kept it for myself or sold it, shooting it with a .45 and posting it on FB was childish and an example of cool-losing. He has values, he just went about them the wrong way imo.

By the way he was reading (along with the act of shooting a laptop several times) he may have had a few beers in him as well.

[solid]

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that he has no values. We really don't know the whole situation in that family. He took that letter far to personally, and lost his cool. People make mistakes.

I would have taken the laptop away from her for awhile. Tell her that in this household, the laptop is an adult privilege. She needs to understand that she will be treated as an adult, when she acts like an adult. She will get the laptop back when she proves that. If she wants to act like a child, she will be treated as one.

That letter, to me, would make me question if the daughter perhaps had too much of a workload. That letter seems like the daughter was stressed too much.

true, but what is in the video is not backbone.

him being a working Dad & caring about his daughter, that's backbone.

she hurt his feelings and how he is publicly lashing out at her. he's pretty upset. why doesn't he just admit how much it hurt and let her see him cry ?


shooting her laptop was classic. if they're exploding rounds, would they have exploded in the laptop, or in the ground ?

i think a lot of what is in there is classic teenage rebellion/ parental response to teen-age rebellion. except all live thanks to Facebook and Youtube.

yeah Facebook has sure improved our lives.

It was a nice, tight cluster.

[Awoke]

He was obviously pissed, and filmed too soon without cooling down. I support his intention, but child services just might get called in him after all. Mind you, if they came and stole his spoiled brat away and she became property of the state for a while, maybe she would see how good she probably had it, and maybe she would lose her entitlement attitude.

I think if he was going to film and post on YouTube, he should have doused it with gas and lit it, and then cut the Internet. (or password protect it)

I'm sure he meant to say "expanding", since they are hollow points.

Your instincts serve you well, young Brewtechwalker. I think you have it exactly right.

[StreetsOfGold]

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The definitive book on child rearing is the Bible.
This man failed in so many ways and his solution (this video) only goes to prove this.

A child without a solid Bible education is the parents fault.
Her post reflects her lack of disciple, bad attitude and proper training according to God's word.

Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Ephesians 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Colossians 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

This man is a TOTAL FAILURE and he is experiencing the FRUIT not obeying God's word

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Tommy Jordan's Facebook post Saturday



STANLY CO., N.C. —
A local father who captured worldwide attention after posting a YouTube rant about his daughter is now responding to all the attention.

Tommy Jordan, from Stanly County, got mad after his daughter complained about doing chores on her Facebook page.

In the video, titled "Facebook Parenting for the troubled teen" shows Jordan pull out a gun and shoots his daughter’s laptop.
RAW: Dad responds to daughter, shoots laptop (WARNING: explicit language) (http://www.wsoctv.com/videos/news/raw-dad-responds-to-daughter-shoots-laptop-warning/vF3YR/)
The video received more than 21 million views in five days.

“Pay you for chores?” Jordan said in the video. “Are you out of your mind?”
The former Marine wrote on his Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/jason.rice22#!/tommyjordaniii) that Child Protective Services officials came to his home in Stanly Co. on Saturday and interviewed him and his daughter — separately — after viewers of the video called with concerns about his actions.
He said the police also stopped by.
“The police by the way said ‘Kudos, sir,’ ” Jordan wrote. "I actually had a "thank you" from an entire detectives squad. And another police officer is using it in a positive manner in his presentation for the school system. How’s about those apples? Didn’t expect THAT when you called the cops did you?”
Police officials in Albemarle told Channel 9 they have received dozens of calls and emails asking why they haven't done anything about the video. Officials said Jordan lives outside of city limits, so his actions are outside of their jurisdiction.
Officials at the Stanly County Sheriff's Office said there are no laws against what Jordan did, so they will not be investigating the matter.
In the Saturday Facebook post, Jordan said he does not regret making the video and stands by his decision to post it.
Jordan's post also said if he had to do it again he would, "Not be smoking a cigarette ... not have used the word "ass" in my comment directed at my daughter ... would have worn my Silverbelly Stetson, not my Tilley hat if I'd known that image was going to follow me the rest of my life and I'd probably have cleaned my boots."
If there is a bright spot for Jordan's daughter, it appears she has at least one job offer from an ice cream shop in the town of Stanley. The offer was posted on YouTube Friday after Jordan's video went viral.

If she was born under a wedding license by the parents, she is already state property.

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

Waste of ammo IMO. Not to mention drawing unnecessary attention to his family.

[Twisted Titan]

I have read comments all down the line.

But the long and short of it is .........everybody could monday morning quarter this one till the cows come home.

Was it the best action to take? The true answer is nobody knows because nobody knows what daily life is in that house.


All i can say is ..........he did something and it probally inspired a few Dads to show some dam backbone in their own houses or to make sure their kids never get that wild in the first place.

[Buffalo]

The destruction of a perfectly good computer is what bothers me.
There is probably a poor kid right next door who does all his chores and aint got a pot to piss in that the father could have given the laptop to.
For the record I think Brewtech nailed the real story :)

[Gaillo]

You Might be a redneck complete asshole if

you shoot up your daughter's computer because you don't like a message she wrote on Facebook.

Fixed that for you.

[Uncle Salty]

Dude is a dick. Plain and simple.

Oooh...what a tough guy. Shoots up a laptop of a teenaged girl.

I can understand wanting to have a kid doing chores and learning responsibility and all, but obviously there is a serious communication gap in the family. This will not help out.

[Sparky]

Jeezus.

A child is the product of child rearing. If he doesn't like the end product, he should look in the fukking mirror.

How could anyone ever, EVER, even consider publicly humiliating their child like that, particularly on account of mere written words? That child is SCREAMING to open a communication with her parents, and this is their response?!? You want to discipline her, you do it within the privacy of your own family, like an adult.

Backbone, my ass.

I had been thinking the same thing.

If he was a such a computer wiz, he could wipe it clean and give it a poor kid at her skewl.

Granted, he just made her a celebrity at skewl. She now has the "poor daughter" act to fall back on for her remaining time at her local state sponsored education center.

Exactly. Guy is a total douche bag bully.

[Awoke]

I am willing to bet that not all of you have kids of your own. Either that or most of you have never encountered the worst of the worst.

Let me just say, you can have a perfect set of parents who do everything right, and they can still have a thankless little bastard for a child. Sometimes there are just bad kids with a mean streak in them. This "modern babylon" cultivates that in our self-entitled generations.

None of us know the dynamics of what his daughter has done to push him to this point. We can speculate and assume that she might have skipped her chores for a few days. Or we can theorize that she stole a car and drove it into her ex-boyfriends parents livingroom in a fit of rage, killing their guinea pigs in the process and then lit their mailbox on fire. You and I don't know.

Bottom line is he paid for the computer, and he chose to destroy it to make a point. Agree or disagree, at least he's not slapping her around or giving her to the state to be raised. (That we know of)

I know I am tempted to take my kids I-pods away from them when I think they are spending too much time on them. However they listen to me when I tell them to put them away and do something else. If they didn't, and they were rebellious thankless brats, I wouldn't hesitate to smash them with a 15lb sledge.

[Sparky]

...
Bottom line is he paid for the computer, and he chose to destroy it to make a point.
...
The computer has nothing to do with the bottom line. The bottom line is the relationship he is forging with his adolescent daughter. I totally agree with your point that you can do everything right and still end up with a pain in the ass, and that strict discipline is necessary.

But when you are a parent enforcing discipline, you are supposed to focus on the wrongdoing, and not the person, and it should be stern and without emotion. His video showed a response in which he had no control over his emotions, and was dripping with vitriol, sarcasm, and anger. You could practically see the steam coming out of his ears, and the rage in his voice. His anger was entirely directed at her as a person.

And finally, as a gun newbie, I have come to appreciate the care and respect which most gun owners demonstrate with regard to the ownership and handling of their weapons. They own them for good reason, they understand the power which they harness, and they are careful to respect their use and handling for the purposes of self-defense, survival, sport, and improving proficiency, while maintaining basic rules of safety to protect themselves and others. Shooting up a piece of electronic equipment from a range of five feet as part of an angry rant serves none of those purposes, and comes across as an abuse of ownership which will only serve as fodder for anti-gun people to hold up as a reason to control or restrict ownership. This guy has done a disservice to his fellow gun owners.

I said from the start, I would have preferred to see him light it on fire. (Just for fun)

[solid]

I said from the start, I would have preferred to see him light it on fire. (Just for fun)

I still think that would be a cruel punishment. The laptop most likely had pictures, school projects, data that can not be replaced.

When kids get out of line, a smart parent never raises his voice, never shows emotions, and remains calm. You withhold privileges. There's no reason that laptop could not have been taken from her, until she earned the right to use it again.

A lot of times (most of the time) dysfunction starts at the top, with the parents, then trickles down.

[Awoke]

You guys have all the answers. Who says he hasn't already tried to take her laptop away? Who do you know he didn't lock it in the trunk of his car, only to have her jimmy it open with a crowbar causing hundreds of dollars of damage that he had to pay for?

I am not saying that that is what happened, but for shit's sake, the man was obviously pushed to the limits by this kid. I can't see him grounding her for farting at the dinner table. I think it's safe to assume that he has tried a bunch of more conservative approaches to the point of exhaustion.

Every man has his snapping point.
