OK, I'm not a parent. But this guy comes across as a right redneck nutjob. I feel sorry for his daughter.

I am with you on the redneck nutjob. I feel sorry for the daughter who is frankly acting like any teenager on the planet and seriously creeped out by the notion that the "online community" is actually supportive of a father whose notion of appropriate response to a teenager acting out on Facebook is so abusive (because to my mind destroying someone's things as punishment is symbolic, and intended to demonstrate their ability to harm the person). Ew, ew, ew.
