What a tosser! 
Good for him.... some kids need teaching a lesson ! and boy what a lesson !!
Holy cow!
Seems a bit OTT to me, although I agree SOMEthing needed doing.
I can remember my teenage daughter complaining about being my slave. I just asked her when I could expect to receive her half of the mortgage payment.

Let's hope his daughter finally learnt a lesson.
What an eegit . She put a post on facebook before and she was grounded for 3 months??? 
He needs to come spend a day with my child.... me thinks a bit of perspective is called for with this dad.
3 months is abit long however, good on him...i did a paper round from being around 13 and worked on the market after school (packing up) and at weekends from being 14...I had to if I wanted stuff, my parents simply couldn't afford to buy me the thing i liked.....
I was kinda laughing at the payback until he got a gun out..
he better make sure he locks it up well and good cos kids over there seem to like to shoot people that piss them off and having a gun around a house with pee'd off people doesn't seem to be a good idea to me.. 
He's also metaphorically shot himself in the asss too cos you just know he'll fork out for another laptop once he's calmed down a bit..

I grounded mine as punishment,ranged from a week and on occasion I did ground for a month.We adored them all and they wanted for absolutely nothing but if they messed up there were consequences and they faced them.They're adults now and have said they are so glad we were firm with them despite not feeling that way at the time

The father!
Some, not all, kids need to moan about their parents/terrible life to their friends. I don't see why the daughter isn't allowed to let off steam about them.
Bloody control freak.

Possibly, but it might just have been an empty case. For the purposes of emphasizing a point.
He does appear to work in IT, so he could possibly pick up an empty case no bother.

Wasn't she told not to do it again or there would be consequences?

According to him, she was grounded for three months for something childish that she did on FB, although he couldn't even remember what it was.
We are allowed, as adults, to moan about our kids. I don't see why kids can't do the same, with their friends.
I was sort of on the dad's side - until he took out the gun.
IMO, he was a bit OTT, he could have just confiscated the laptop.

I thought he looked like a farmer.
i thought that was great! i watched a couple of the responses after and there were teenagers saying he was great, that they're fed up with spoilt kids getting everything then moaning about their parents

Well, he did say that he worked in IT, but he certainly acts like a frustrated cowboy/gun-slinger.

Did you see their dads, to the side of them, pointing a gun?

I got the impression it was more the amount of cursing and swearing.

Zactly. 
I agree that kids should be allowed to moan to their friends about their parents, but FB is so...PUBLIC!
Also, I think a lot of it is the sheer lack of respect and any appreciation that he feels. Still, I think he should have waited 48-72 hours before filming that video.
Also, wouldn't it have been GREAT if he'd mounted his horse and ridden off after that? You know, mount the horse, wheel around and gallop off into the distance.

I'd have printed it off, secretly, to show her in later years, when she'd gone through that stage!
It's hard to say, without knowing what Hannah is really like, but it sounded, to me, like she does do her chores, but obviously doesn't have a brilliant relationship with her parents and wanted to let off steam to her friends. Most kids go through stages like that, but end up fine in the end.

And fallen off?
Yeah great lesson to teach your kid.....if you don't like something, shoot it!

You've been watching too many episodes of The Lone Ranger : Hi Ho Silver, away!

Yeah, why was he so pissed off about her calling Linda the cleaning lady? Not sure why that was disrespectful, unless it's a cultural thing.

Now that would have been a good idea.

in which case why is he forking out $130 on software then?
anyways I just added that paragraph as a laugh without thinking was it a fake lappy etc.. was a throw away jokey thing at the end of my post. .
*goes away to learn how to be funnier so peeps will laugh instead*

How else does one get software? You don't expect him to steal it, do you?

Hi, ho, Sliver!!!
That song.....is the next line 'riding on raindrops'? that's what I sing but it doesn't quite seem to make sense.
Hmmm...not sure what song we're talking about. My mom told me that she used to watch the Lone Ranger when she was a kid, and instead of saying, "Hi, ho, Silver", she'd say, "Hi, ho, Sliver" by accident.
That Hi Ho Silver song. I don't even know much about it except for the following few lines:
Hi Hi Silver
We're riding on raindrops
We're riding on down
(de dele-de-de-de)
to rescue meeeeeeeee
no?

Just do what my hubby does, he never sings the right words.
Now I've got Hi Ho Silver (or Hi Hi as I previously posted) and mama do the hump stuck in my head coz of this thread and Jen's thread the other day. Mama's been humping in my head for days
That sounds very very wrong.

Son and I once had a row with hubby about the lyrics of a Ronan Keating song - and Mr Yogi was actually right - we couldn't believe it.
It was a one-off though. He says he sings the right words, but not necessarily in the right order.

I used to love Slade,I'll play the young and foolish card me thinks.
Pull out a gun solves everything ...................not.
What an absolute ass of a man.
The daughter should have added P.S. smoking kills.
Mr Jordan has since written on Facebook that the attention has helped him and his daughter 'deal with it' and insisted Hannah is fine, saying they both laughed about the video going viral.
But he admitted: 'Iâll agree that wasnât a good example of me as a father. I had been reading that post again and again for about an hour, sometimes in tears, other times so mad my hands were shaking.
'I was trying very hard to be civil in my message,' Mr Jordan said, reported Fox News. 'I slipped in that and said a word I shouldnât have. I deserve a little backlash for that, no doubt.'

A really good friend of mine caught her son under age drinking,she found out where they'd got the booze from,was an off licence attached to a local bar.Next day,Sunday,she got him up,he was hungover,made him get showered and dressed and off she went.Took him into the bar,ordered a drink for herself and a pint of lager for her son who was sat mortified on a stool beside her at the bar.,the barman looked at her son and told her he couldn't serve him alcohol he was obviously under-age and it was against licensing laws.Just the answer she needed,she asked to speak to the manager,he came and again she ordered a drink for her and her son,he too refused.She then told him her son was as under-age today as what he was last night when they saw fit to serve him a carry out in the off licence if it was ok then it's ok now.The manager knew he was goosed ,cue all sorts of assurances it would never happen again all sorts of apologies etc.She got a standing ovation for her from other patrons in the bar.
what an idiot.

My lad sings 'lab rat' instead of Labryth makes me smile everytime..
"Lab rat! come in lab rat..."
He seems a tad unhinged IMO. No wonder his daughter moans about him. Seriously - there must be a better way of sorting it out .................she's your daughter FGS - what are you some kind of vigilante parent?

I'm just glad that my parents never owned a gun.
