That’s the advice of Tommy Jordan, a fed-up father who read the profane rant his teenage daughter Hannah posted about him and his wife on Facebook … and who emptied his .45 into her laptop. Here’s the 8-minute video he posted to her Facebook page of the laptop’s execution, so her FB friends who were privy to her foul-mouthed denunciation of her parents could see what happened to her laptop as a result. The first seven minutes involve him reading her FB post, then responding to it. The shooting starts at around the 7-minute mark. Warning: there’s some mild profanity in this:

The video has gone massively viral. What do you think? I fully support Tommy Jordan. Had I been in his position, I wouldn’t have done anything as dramatic as executed the laptop with a gun, but I would have considered smashing the computer all the same, to make a point to my ingrate brat of a daughter.

Some liberals are freaking out, calling this, believe it or not, an act of domestic violence. What they’re really ticked about is that Tommy Jordan is a Southern male who used a gun to destroy her laptop. [UPDATE: I’m not entirely serious here; I recognize that there are very good reasons to object to Jordan’s action. — RD] If he had run over the thing with his Prius, and then delivered the dead computer to a recycling center, I bet they wouldn’t have complained at all.

Go Tommy Jordan!

UPDATE: From Tommy Jordan’s Facebook page:

Apparently both the local police and the department of social services are OK with it. Yes they came. Of course they came. They received enough “Oh my god he’s going to kill his daughter” comments that they had to. I knew that the moment it went viral.. it was too late and it was inevitable. I’m only surprised it took as long as it did to be honest.

The police by the way said “Kudos, Sir” and most of them made their kids watch it. 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?

The kind lady from Child Protective Services looked all through the house, the yard, and found ours to be a healthy home. She saw the unloaded guns in their rack with the magazines removed and stored separately and safely. Funny thing: The case officer asked to see “the gun”…. “Umm, sir, may I see the actual..umm.. weapon used for the video?” She wasn’t at all scared of me but I could tell she doesn’t like guns as a general rule. To each their own though. She was comfortable that I was adhering to NC gun safety regulations for the protection of minors, and that’s all she needed. But of course if you want to continue, I’m just going to leave a pot of coffee on for the next officers who come by. (Digress: Maybe I can get Krispy Kreme to sponsor me with lifetime donuts? Oh God that would be heaven. Dunkin? Crap… KK all the way….)

She asked if I minded if she interviewed my daughter privately but that I didn’t have to agree. I let her meet in private and then she and I met for about an hour and a half. At the end of the day, no I’m not losing my kids, no one’s in danger of being ripped from our home that I know of, and I actually got to spend some time with the nice lady and learn some cool parenting tips that I didn’t know.. I use them on my 8 year old son, but not on my fifteen year old daughter.. but now I will! There were a few things I thought she was “too old” for, but after talking to the case worker, I feel like it’s worth a shot to try them. Maybe I’ll sell those secrets in my next book! (Seriously? You just got mad didn’t you? I’m kidding. Besides, that would still only give me two pages of material- one parent tip page and one page on handgun selection techniques appropriate for different electronic destructive purposes.)
