A dad takes a stand
I’m sure you’ve seen it online already, but Tommy Johnson put 8 bullets into his daughters laptop after finding a rant of hers on Facebook.
He recently answered some emailed questions from the local ABC News affiliate.
What’s most interesting, to me, is that people saw this video and called the local police department and child protective services. Why?
Did he threaten his daughter? Did he break the law?
The weapon was discharged into the ground, so I would guess that the only person potentially in harms way – besides the laptop, of course – was Johnson himself, and he came out fine. He apparently had told his daughter the last time she was in trouble for lashing out online that if she did it again, he’d put a bullet into the laptop – not her, the computer.
It seems to me that the uproar around this particular issue really boils down to children and their current sense of entitlement. If you read some of the comments, it’s clear that many people are feeling that “the darn kids” of today have too many things all but handed to them, and it’s about time that the parents started to “fight back” – but that confuses me. In our house, the kids have to earn things – including the ability to watch TV/play on the computer/Wii. It just seems like good parenting.
Or am I the crazy one?

That “snow”? That I just shoveled out of the driveway? Is it any surprise that it switched to rain as I finished?
