What are your thoughts on Tommy Jordan's parenting methods?

The video of him reading a reprimand for his daughter and then shooting her laptop some 8 or 9 times has gone viral. As have his responses to all the publicity.

I have a nearly 17 year old son myself who drives me bananas sometimes. I have seized many an electronic gadget, sometimes for months, in an effort to correct some behaviour. I don’t know that I would ever take my disciplinary methods public. BUT I did once take a Nintendo game that he wasn’t supposed to be playing (had been caught playing before and punished) and smashed it with a hammer. He still talks about that to this day.

I have a lot of respect for this dad as he is fighting off media attempts to interview him and his family.

What are your thoughts about what he (the dad) did? Good/bad/indifferent?
