I am leaning toward the father going overboard with the public humiliation and the act of violence using a gun.
Yes, the violence was toward the computer, but the message was more nuanced. "I can literally destroy the things you care about." I hate that he used a gun to do it, because handguns carry the imagery of violence against other humans. Shotgun, crossbow, not so much. It just seemed...threatening to me.
Also, I am not sure what the teen is being punished for. Blocking her parents from her FB? (seems like an ok act of preserving privacy) Complaining to her friends? Again, seem reasonable for a teen. Cursing? Hm.
Yes, the girl posted her *****-bomb on FB (which persumably only her friends could see) But her father posted a video that every human being with Internet access could see, and now it has gone viral, just like he had hoped. That seems more like an act of vindictiveness that has no place in a parent-child relationship.
The guy seemed to like the cigarette-smoking, weapon-toting, male dominating machismo of the whole scene a little too much if you asked me.
On the flip side, he could have learned some computer skills and in the process fried the hard drive and picked up accessory skills as to how to hide porn from the daughter's mom Instead, he shoots a masterpiece of electronic circuitry to prove his point. What a waste of Dadhood
Wow. A father who actually took control of the situation and did what he thought needed to be done. I'd probably shake the man's hand.
(Personally, I wouldn't have shot the fire out of it. I'd have had me a nice laptop that had just ben upgraded. But charging her a buck each for the hollow points was a nice touch.)
Yeah who only managed to be able to see her posts because he had access to an account that could see her wall. Some real creative computer guy there :roll eyes:.
