class="zem_slink" title="Facebook" href="http://facebook.com" rel="homepage">Facebook</a> to her &#8220;lazy&#8221; parents.  She didn&#8217;t think her dad would ever see it.</p><p>Well, he did.</p><p>He decided to post this video response to her Facebook wall.  After expressing his severe disappointment in his daughter and reminding her of how easy she&#8217;s got it, he takes out his pistol and SHOOTS her laptop &#8211; several times.</p><p>With so many abusive parents beating their kids these days, it&#8217;s nice to see a sensible dad who handles things the right way.</p><p>Finally, Jordan tells his daughter that whenever she&#8217;s no longer grounded, in &#8220;whatever year that may be,&#8221; she can go buy herself her own new laptop.</p><p>This video is going mega-viral, with over a million views since Wednesday.</p><p>In the description, Tommy says:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;My daughter thought it would be funny/rebellious/cool to post on her Facebook wall just how upset she was and how unfair her life here is; how we work her too hard with chores, never pay her for chores, and just in general make her life difficult.</p><p>She chose to share this with the entire world on Facebook and block her parent&#8217;s from seeing it. Well, umm&#8230; she failed. As of the end of this video, she won&#8217;t have to worry anymore about posting inappropriate things on Facebook&#8230;</p><p>Maybe a few kids can take something away from this&#8230; If you&#8217;re so disrespectful to your parents and yourself as to post this kind of thing on Facebook, you&#8217;re deserving of some tough love. Today, my daughter is getting a dose of tough love.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p>If you want to see the original Facebook thread, it&#8217;s located at:<br

This is just senseless.&#8221;</p><p>Billy Clay Payne, Jr. and Billie Jean Hayworth were killed in January after they removed Jenelle Potter, the daughter of one of the suspects, from their &#8220;friends&#8221; list. Both victims had been shot in the head and the man had his throat slit.</p><p>Their eight-month-old baby was in the mother&#8217;s arms, unharmed.</p><p>Marvin Enoch &#8220;Buddy&#8221; Potter Jr., 60, and Jamie Lynn Curd, 38, were each charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The men were arrested on Tuesday.</p><p>Reece said that a couple of harassment cases had been filed in court against Jenelle Potter recently due to someone &#8220;blocking her&#8221; on Facebook or &#8220;taking her off.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Once you&#8217;ve crossed her, you&#8217;ve crossed her father too,&#8221; Reece said.</p><p>Her father will head back to court next week for a bond hearing after he hires an attorney.</p><p>Curd, who is also a second cousin to one of the two victims, was appointed an attorney and bond was set at $750,000 for each murder count. His preliminary hearing will be held next month.</p><p>No charges have been filed against Jenelle Potter, the sheriff said. She could not reached for comment.</p><p>Curd&#8217;s attorney says it&#8217;s &#8220;safe to say there&#8217;s more to it than the Facebook problem, it appears.&#8221;</p><p>It just seems senseless to me to kill someone over Facebook.

The Model X accelerates from 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds, which is fairly impressive for an electric vehicle.</p><p><a

class="zem_slink" title="Tesla Model S" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_S" rel="wikipedia">Model S</a> ($50,000 to $70,000) and will have a slightly lower electric driving range than the Model S, which comes in 3 options &#8211; 160 miles, 230 miles, and 300 miles.</p><p>Musk says he doesn&#8217;t expect the Model X prototype to change very much in its looks and design when it reaches production. Most changes would be done simply to improve aerodynamics. The car keeps many of the design elements of the Model S, although with a slightly higher roof-line.</p><p>Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen <a

class="zem_slink" title="Facebook" href="http://facebook.com" rel="homepage">Facebook</a> said this week in its initial public offering prospectus. The options were given to Zuckerberg in 2005 and expire in 2015, and he&#8217;ll sell stock to cover liabilities, according to Facebook.</p><p>&#8220;We expect that substantially all of the net proceeds Mr. Zuckerberg will receive upon such sale will be used to satisfy taxes that he will incur upon his exercise of an outstanding stock option to purchase 120,000,000 shares&#8221; of common stock, according to the filing.</p><p>Zuckerberg, 27, will now likely become one of the world&#8217;s wealthiest people with a stake in Facebook that could be worth as much as $28.4 billion. His company, which on February 1 filed to raise as much as $5 billion in an IPO, is now reportedly discussing a potential valuation of $75 billion to $100 billion.</p><p>At the high end of that spectrum, assuming approximately 2.51 billion Facebook shares outstanding, each share may then be worth roughly $39.79. The shares awarded to Mark Zuckerberg carry an exercise price of 6 cents. Assuming Zuck purchases all 120 million shares at that price, his gains would come to about $4.77 billion.</p><p>Zuckerberg&#8217;s tax rate will likely be in the 35 percent range, meaning his total tax bill would be about $1.67 billion.</p><p>Facebook had a received a valuation of at least $94 billion, or about $40 a share, in an auction of its shares on the private market earlier this week.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em;">Related articles</h6><ul
