This is why I don't do Facebook.

"A" for effort fer sure. YeeHaw! I have a hard time believing she's going to learn anything unless he makes good on his threat which if she can already laugh about it...

I see a lot of people upset about his using a gun, but if he had instead backed over it with a car I very much doubt we'd see any condemnation at all. Perhaps the most disturbing thing about the video (to me) is his apparent nonchalance regarding how many rounds were in left.

Here's some more on it:

Attention Media Outlets:
While we appreciate the interest you're all putting forth to get in touch with us regarding the video, we're not going to go on your talk show, not going to call in to your radio show, and not going to be in your TV mini-series.
Some of you think I made an acceptable parenting decision and others think I didn't. However, I can't think of any way myself or my daughter can respond to a media outlet that won't be twisted out of context. The Dallas news TV news already showed that in their brief 5 minute interview with the psychologist.
Additionally, there's absolutely NO way I'm going to send my child the message that it's OK to gain from something like this. It would send her a message that it's OK to profit at the expense of someone else's embarrassment or misfortune and that's now how I was raised, nor how she has been raised.
So I say thank you from all of us. If we have anything to say, we'll say it here on Facebook, and we'll say it publicly, but we won't say it to a microphone or a camera. There are too many other REAL issues out there that could use this attention you're giving us. My daughter isn't hurt, emotionally scarred, or otherwise damaged, but that kind of publicity has never seemed to be to have a positive effect on any child or family.
If you're a news outlet that wants to ask us a question, feel free to so via email. I'm sure by now my email address is easy enough to find. It might take me awhile to get to a response because I'd have to sort through the "Die you bastard" emails to find it, but we will respond if its something that we feel merits it. Otherwise, sorry... no interviews, no talk shows, no call-ins.
If we respond to anything, it will be on here, and it will be in a way that our words can't be misconstrued or edited for appeal to specific audience or shock value.
Now, I'm going to try to get to work for the day.
Best of luck to all of you out there... and PLEASE give my phone a break.

Looks like he's using publicity to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association too.

Hopefully this doesn't in any way suggest that I don't think this is a horrible tragedy, but these names are absolutely amazing: Billy Clay Payne, Jr. and Billie Jean Hayworth. That must've been a spectacular wedding invitation.

It's a pretty horrible story, but I'm sure there was a lot more going on than just defriending the girl. I hope the child has some good family to step up and care for him/her after this.

By the slight accent I'd say he's from Texas. They issue you a gun at birth there.

*checks birth certificate* .22?? The hell you say! It felt like a .45!

Shit like this between people like this has being going on forever. Facebook is merely another venue for them to blow minor slights out of proportion before taking extreme measures to balance the offense. (talking about the OP video). Red state drama junkies.

As for the video, Dad has the right idea but he could have done with a bit of rehearsal and emptying his 45 into the laptop sent it over the cliff for me. Being an IT dude, he could have just wiped it clean, or sold it, or donated it to the local elementary school. Destroying things for effect is just plain juvenile.

I thought he had an 18G. Was disappointed it was only a .45

He was saving the 18ga for the Gay Pride Parade through downtown Austin. (per their facebook update)

More and more Facebook is turning into the parody that South Park did in the episode "You have 0 Friends"

So, I head back over to facebook to find this:

It would seem there is more way than one to get in trouble. If you want to get the gist without waiting 9 minutes just watch the first and last 80 seconds.

If I had met this guy, I wouldn't be surprised that his daughter is acting like a jerk. Kids generally act like their parents.
