Video is striking a nerve among parents everywhere... warning, it does contain some foul language.

 

This Montclair Patch editor was just with a bunch of fellow moms ... and what was everyone talking about? The YouTube video made by an angry father who, when fixing his daughter’s computer, came across her long Facebook rant about family life. He's so mad about her post that he spills his own rant, which he promises to post on his daughter's Facebook wall. For his grand finale, the dad pulls out a gun and shoots his daughter's laptop to pieces.
