I'm in general agreement with the danger of using a pistol in connection with discipline of ANYONE, never mind a 15 year old child...especially your own!! This man has at least one business and social contacts in his area. Why on earth would he let his ego overcome common sense? This dude not only has anger management problems, but his ex-wife ought to reconsider the custody issue. And, if the ex-wife is as lame as the father, that explains in part the actions of the daughter. A good dad would be paying for counseling...not software! Finally, all the people making positive comments about Herr Jordan..what the he** are YOU all thinking about? Or are we just conversing on different planes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21244945.post-54575206012768876482012-02-12T09:03:46.688-08:002012-02-12T09:03:46.688-08:00@the hostile anonymous: You must be the 20 year ol...@the hostile anonymous: You must be the 20 year old and your lack of maturity is showing.

He posted for the world to see and I am disturbed that anyone with a functioning brain and rationality thinks his misuse of a firearm is appropriate. If he did this to a friend or co worker, what do you think would be the outcome?

Teens have had issues with parents and visa-versa forever. What was lacking was social media and (believed) need to share it with the world. Poor decision on her part? Yes. But do you believe that any teen hasn't bitched about their parent(s) at one time or another to their friends? Broadcasting it on Facebook? Yeah, not bright.<br />Ok so she's 15... a kid... clearly doesn't possess the same decision making skills as an "adult". But it appears that she does have the same poor decision making abilities of her dad. A grown man taking this, what could have been, should have been a opportunity to teach her daughter completely blew it. Though his frustrations may have been warranted, his actions were certainly not. Tommy Jordan has some anger issues and I can only imagine we'll be hearing more about him on a Dateline feature. His skeletons will be revealed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21244945.post-83477076500861889912012-02-11T17:01:43.881-08:002012-02-11T17:01:43.881-08:00I'm a different different Anonymous. Thanks fo...I'm a different different Anonymous. Thanks for this post. I agree with you. He did not behave like a "hero." He stooped to her level and let his anger and ego overwhelm his judgment. We've all felt ourselves reaching that point, but unfortunately for this family he made it very public and very permanent, and he used everyone's real names.<br /><br />Using a video on Facebook/YouTube wasn't clever, it was cowardice. He couldn't trust himself to communicate clearly and effectively to her face. This didn't belong in a public forum. It's so sadly ironic that he was replying to her inappropriate vent in a public forum. How does imitating your teenager's behavior make you an effective parent?<br /><br />I agree with everything the guy SAID. It's just posting it online was immature, and using the gun was terrifying. Violent anger issues are apparent here.<br /><br />P.s. if some kid in his daughter's school had done the same thing he did, the FBI would be there in a heartbeat, trying to prevent another Columbine. But because it's her own father he's a hero?

He created a bogus story on YouTube it went viral we made him out to be some creepy hero. Then you look at his Facebook account and he is sitting there promoting his business'. Everyone is falling for it and creating the traffic that he was after to begin with. If you read a few of his posts he is beginning to think he is God or something.

His obviously ungrateful daughter needed a little lesson in real life. shes obviously never had to work for anything and hes making her do just that. if shes going to disrespect the people that worked so hard to give her the laptop then she shouldnt have it anyway. I would do exactly what he did. Thats how i was raised, thats how my parents were raised. Its a great lesson in good old fashioned parenting, by what i am sure is a hard working, honest, god fearing father. I have the utmost respect for the way he handled this situation and I wish him and his family all the best.

I can't believe he sucked me in. I checked out his Facebook acct and found he has several pages he is owner of that he is trying to draw hits there too. <br /><br />The thing that baffles me the most is people are labeling him a hero. If this video is all true ( which I doubt) then he as the father is suppose to be the role model. It's learned environment. <br /><br />Just like "a different anonymous" said you put your daughter in harms way. What GOOD parent does that. I for one never even air my dirty laundry on Facebook let a lone for the world to see. He knew what he was doing.<br /><br />I hope he is thoroughly investigated and it all comes back to bite him. If anything, charged for shooting a firearm off so close to the road. You could literately see traffic in the background. <br /><br />I have no respect for all these parents giving this so-called father kudos. I can't even believe you would think its okay. There is other ways to handle out of control teenagers but putting your daughter out there wasn't one of em. She has learned all her actions from her role model father.RoleModelMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21244945.post-55983861514841268922012-02-11T06:15:05.785-08:002012-02-11T06:15:05.785-08:00dumb ass rednecksdumb ass rednecksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21244945.post-54003805478557000742012-02-10T20:56:20.850-08:002012-02-10T20:56:20.850-08:00I LOVE your Post this was all for Publicity in my ...I LOVE your Post this was all for Publicity in my Opinion...and I agree with all you facts and points...<br /><br />Quite scary that this guy is a HERO....even if he's licensed to carry that... 45 that's not the kind of person that I want owning a fire arm!<br /><br />On his FB he's now acting like he's into MDA charity...PLEASE ...he did that after it went Viral!<br /><br />Very SAD what people are entertained by but look at the rich Jersey Shore people the Kardashians...etcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21244945.post-68397286147054443692012-02-10T20:45:12.368-08:002012-02-10T20:45:12.368-08:00I think your OPINIONS about this video and this ma...I think your OPINIONS about this video and this man are all wrong. This girl seems like a whiny spoiled brat who doesn't seem to understand that life is hard and nothing is ever really handed to you. She disrespected her parents in front of her friends and probably some of her family(since it is facebook) and thought she was cool because she thought she hid it from her parents. And why are people acting like he shot her and not her laptop. The girl will live without her laptop and all the extras that she has. I'm 20 years old and I didnt even get my first cell phone until I was almost 17 and my laptop when i was almost 18 and guess what people I LIVED!!!! Besides the fact that I was very grateful to my parents for giving me these luxuries and I would spend the rest of my life getting their coffee and cleaning the house. I am proud of this man for doing what he did. He tried grounding her from it before and she didn't learn her lesson and he warned her that something worse would happen if she did something like that again. Well she didn't believe him the first time, so maybe now she will. And as far as the little brother thing goes I have 3 very younger siblings and yes sometimes i get annoyed with them, but i love them and i don't mind doing things for them because they are my family. Its just a laptop people she could not have a roof over her head or food to eat but guess what her father cares enough to provide that for her and I think that's what counts the most not all the material things he gives her.

Totally agree wi...I'm a different anonymous...<br /><br />Totally agree with you. And BTW, so far, we've ONLY heard his side of the story and what he's said about other people's reactions. Haven't heard from the mother. Haven't heard from the current wife. Haven't heard from the girl. Haven't heard from the cleaning person. Haven't heard from the police or CPS. So, all the people who are cheering him on are totally relying on HIS word. Nice. Seeing how quick he is to use that big gun, maybe everyone else is afraid to say anything.<br /><br />And even if discipline was called for, he put out a sensational video that will be around for decades. His daughter is named in it. That's a black mark on her reputation that will remain out there forever. Nice thing to do to a kid.

This is due to parents having less and less control over how they are raised. Kids need to know there are consequences to stupidity in the real world. They need to learn to think before they act. They need to understand that there will be someone to answer to. And lastly they need to know the value of things by earning them instead of having everything gifted to them.<br />Treating them like adults, when they are not, and talking things out, well, that's a good start, but even though they hear you, they do not truly comprehend what is being said to them. Kids let it go in one ear, and out the other. Their thinking is ten minutes of tongue lashing, live out the grounding, and back to business as usual.
