I figure him putting a few bullets in the laptop is applying a different technique.

[only time will tell if it's effective]

I am beginning to wonder. For the record, I shot 300 rounds out of one of my 1911s last night. I KNOW when it's empty. The slide locks back. Picking up a gun when I'm p*ssed off is the last thing I'm doing. Dad should take note.

Christ, after watching the video i think you might have wanted to kick the shiite out of her, keep the laptop, and save the rounds for her soon-to-be boyfriend named Lee, Josh, Jared, Cletus or some other such name.

P. S. I'll give you $15 for the I-Pod, $25 for her phone, $50 for the I-Pad...she won't need those either...

I'll pass on the laptop...

Encouraging Sharia style honor killings now? Just bizzare!

That's what I would have done to buy more ammo. It looks like Dad has missed a few trips to the range since the turn of the Century. When is the last time you fired that 1911 Dad? 198??????

The last time I got into serious trouble at school was when I talked back to a teacher when I was a senior. I had plenty of reason and my dad agreed with me when I told him how it happened. He told me that since I was a senior he would only beat the hell out of me if I ever got slapped by that man and didn't beat the hell out of him. I was confused but I knew he would carry out his threat from the earlier times. Luckily nobody threw my books in the hall ever again. I slammed that kid against the wall so hard that he just wilted and fell to the floor looking for mercy. My dad knew how much care I took of books and just couldn't side with the teacher.

I don't think that any butt beating I got as a child made me into what those people are talking about now, either. This girl deserved something and all that grounding is not punishment as far as I am concerned. When you ground a kid and let them go to school all day it seems pretty sad to me.

Really? Sounds as if you are supporting Sharia Law.

He has been visited by the local police and now dcf is speaking to his daughter over this. Which in my opinion is just ridiculous. Over shooting a lap top, He didnt threaten her, he didnt do anything but shot some property he bought since when does that justify having to deal with police and dcf

From the sounds of things she is actually learning from this.

She's learning her father is a crazy SOB, if she didn't already know it.

I wouldn't blame her if she high tailed it out of there when she turns 18 and never looks back
