Appalling overreaction I feel

Gee give the girl a break, she sounds like she is rebelling a little and making life hard for her parents - but hey that's normal for a teenager isn't it ?

She obviously cannot talk with her parents so she is blowing off some steam with her friends, its sounds like most of it is half tongue in cheek anyway and he takes it so seriously.

Here is how I see it - She mouthed off about he parents to her friends (in private she thought).

Let's put that in context She did not -

stay out all night

get pregnant

do drugs

get drunk

run away

or anything else that a parent really has to worry about, although if he carries on like that some of these are starting to look more likely..

The father spied on her without her knowledge and without giving her the benefit to explain herself he takes her laptop and shoots it to pieces. What sort of an example is that -

1. He is acting an impulse revenge emotion

2. He is punishing using Extreme violence and I would be frightened what else he has in mind with that big gun of his.

3. He is going behind her back to her firiends

IMHO he has totally broken trust with his daughter and I cannot see how that can be built again.

Who is behaving worse here ? it is pretty clear to me this is a terrible reaction with very bad consequences for their relationship

I am guessing you don't have children

As you state that 15 children probably died from the radioactive effects of Chernobyl and I infer from that your would argue that that is the price to pay for nuclear energy, I guess you could argue that more get run over every day, however that is not the point - No deaths are acceptable, try arguing otherwise to grieving parents and you will soon see the full emotional force of your arguments.
