LapTop Dad and today show poll (please vote)

[brettdale]

Well on his facebook page, it seems Laptop dad is thanking people and telling them he is
pleased, that 73% of people support him in a poll on the todays show page.

As someone here said,, most bullies will try and show their victim, that no one supports
them, so if you agree that he is wrong please vote in the Today show poll.

PS: The today show poll is the above link, below is just my blog.

1. He's an abusive creep.

And freak.

[brettdale]

4. I wonder

If he is showing his daughter his facebook page, it wouldn't surprise me, that would be so cruel, all these
people supporting him, that is text book bullying.

11. that's what I was thinking too

The idea that everyone now knows their and especially HER business is so controlling and manipulative. He seems to be getting off on it and she has to just tolerate it.

[AnOhioan]

2. He needs some anger management

[Rex]

5. +1

nt

[spin]

3. I feel that it would have been better to donate the computer...

than shoot it.

[hamsterjill]

6. Done.

I concur with the comment above in that this man needs serious anger management and perhaps parenting classes. It is not okay to teach your children that violence solves problems.

[HappyMe]

7. He should have just tossed it out the window,

or donated it. If that girl had a smart phone, I would have taken that away from her too.


My sweetie's daughter lived with us for a year. She was verbally and physically abusive to me. The only reason the police weren't called was for my sweetie's sake. When you bake cookies & then take them up to her room because she isn't feeling well, then hear yourself called a 'stupid slave cunt that I have eating out of my hand'...and that was just one incident of many.

[MattBaggins]

31. Why toss it out the window

Destroying something does not teach a positive message.

It's just as bad as smashing a toddlers toys to teach them some kind of warped lesson.

8. thanks...I voted

voted appropriate

[brettdale]

9. This gets creepier and Creepier

I knew what he did, and i knew he did because the daughter complained about having to do chores, I never knew what the
chores were until now.. yeppers why do some guys think that their daughter and wifes are their slaves???

She had to make his bed, do his laundry, do the cooking, if she was doing something and he wanted a coffee she had to make
it asap.

This is a power thing for the guy, but his right wing supporters love him, I bet he shows his daughter the poll to show her
that hs is right and she is wrong.

19. There was something else in the video...

When he was reading from her facebook post. She said something like "I'm not even going to mention all the work I do around your clinic."

It's at about the 2 minute mark in the video.
Anybody know what kind of work she was doing at the clinic?
Maybe he was using her like some kind of unpaid servant.

Also why is he telling her once a day to get a job (at the 1:40 mark in the video)?
She is only 15 years old and it sounds like she already has her hands full with cleaning up after this pig.

Also why does he walk across the floor she just cleaned with his muddy boots?
Why can't he take his shoes off before crossing the floor.
It seems like he takes pleasure in forcing others to clean up his shit.

[Incitatus]

20. Did you watch the whole video?

In his response he claims she never had to make his bed or do his laundry. She was complaining about having to make her own bed and do her own laundry.

[EFerrari]

30. And you believe him, why?

He also said the police went out to his house and praised him and made their kids watch his video. The city manager says the city and the police department don't share his views.

He also said, as brettdale pointed out, that he went to high school and college, lived on his own and held two jobs at 15.

The guy is a braggart. I don't see why people believe him reflexively.

[Incitatus]

35. There are two sides to every story and the truth is usually somewhere in between.

The kid sounds like a brat. Her cleaning lady comment made that obvious, but the dad's reaction was excessive.

As far as the alleged police comment, it wouldn't surprise me (knowing how some cops are) if an officer made a comment to him supporting his actions that his supervisors would not approve of and even deny.

[EFerrari]

39. You have only heard his side of the story.

And the police didn't go out to his house to praise him although that is the impression he wanted us to have. At least he didn't try to claim CPS went out there to ask him for tips. lol

[geomon666]

38. Why do you believe her? n/t

[EFerrari]

41. You don't need to believe anything.

You can observe his behavior and come to your own conclusion. The kid is another issue. We've never seen her and all we know about her is an angry post she made complaining about her parents. There isn't anything very remarkable about a 14 year old being pissed at her parents.

[EFerrari]

10. Oh, yeah. A guy who needs the whole internet AND a gun to control his teenager

what better role model could a kid ask for?

A guy who admires Glen Beck and calls the president "disgraceful" -- we should all rally around this dickless loser immediately.

lmao

[OriginalGeek]

12. LMFAO @ "more on Facebook" section below the article...

.
"How to tell if your child's being cyber-bullied..."

Well, for starters, her dad shoots her fucking laptop...

[LadyHawkAZ]

13. Nice catch!

[TheManInTheMac]

14. Thanks. Just voted appropriate.

[brettdale]

15. I just have no respect

For a man who makes his daughter make HIS bed, and his coffe any time he clicks his fingers.

[countryjake]

16. The current results of that poll are almost more disgusting...

than the actions of the abusive parent, himself.

[Art_from_Ark]

18. I agree

The poll results are almost more disgusting than what Idiot Dad did.

[JSnuffy]

17. Voted in support of the Dad...

Thanks..

[brettdale]

21. you support the dad

To me its not the shooting of the laptop that is bad, its the effect this video going viral has on
his daughter, the fact that he is keeping it going, the fact he thinks having his daughter make his bed,
and be there 24/7 for him is wrong, thhe fact that for some reason he expects people to beleive that
when he was 15 he went to high school and college, lived on his own and held down two jobs.

He has made a ton of money from these videos i bet his daughter doesnt see a cent.

[Incitatus]

22. How has he made money?

When this story first came out I looked at his FB page. He said he wasn't going to do any shows or accept any money because that would send the wrong message to his daughter. If there is proof that he did accept money, then that would prove him to be a liar with an ulterior motive and damage the credibility of his side of the story

[brettdale]

23. youtube hits

He has hired lawyers to take down any copies of his video on youtube, he has over 21 million hits, with
his adsense on his youtube account he has made a ton of money, he has also been promoting his book,
and selling various bits and pieces, the reason he doesnt talk to the media is he will lose control of the
story.

Oh he has said it would be a honor to talk to Glenn Beck though.

[EFerrari]

26. What book is that?

[JSnuffy]

28. Oh yes... those famous internet bucks...

[brettdale]

32. He has adsense on his youtube.

He has had 21 million hits, he has made thousands.

[geomon666]

37. You have to click on the ads for that to actually make money. n/t

[Incitatus]

40. OK, I found the original video with the ads. It's even copyrighted.

I guess he doesn't mind making money off his daughter after all.

[frogmarch]

24. 73% voted it was appropriate punishment!

:-O I am flabbergasted!

The guy is a wacko and so are the 73% who supported him.

[EFerrari]

25. An Obama hating, Glenn Beck admiring whackjob.

The more I think about how embarrassed his kid must be to have this clown for a father, the more grateful I feel for the men who brought me up.

[Kingofalldems]

27. Looks like the freepers love this guy

Including the sneaky type who think they are fooling everyone.

[MattBaggins]

29. 73% think it's fine

We are a country stupid people.

[brettdale]

33. Child Labour Laws??? (this is what he made her do)

Getting him coffee (making the coffee too, I think) making beds, cleaning floors and then having to clean the mud he tracked in after she cleaned the floor, work in the garden, work in the vet clinic, gets up at 5 am daily, school, chores, in bed exhausted by 10 pm exhausted. That's the part he read, anyway.

[MattBaggins]

34. This guy is not some old school hard knox parent

He is an asshole.

[EFerrari]

36. One "tough love" advocate told the L.A. Times that he appeared childish and ridiculous. nt
