Although he really didn't need to shoot the laptop. Could have sold it and got some of his money back!
And what is with people needing to use guns all the time, surely they're for self-defence and not for silly things like this?
Agreed, he could have chosen another way to handle it, and still see that the laptop was forever denied to her. I would have been just as happy if he had dropped a bowling ball on it. I think the shock value for his little brat was necessary.
But in the end, he was going for her to receive a real shock and sense of loss as punishment for being a spoiled little [word I cannot type here, lol]. And in that, I think he not only succeeded, but echoed the frustrations a LOT of adults have for conceited, self-important, bratty teens (and for which even their better-behaved, more mature peers have those same frustrations I am certain).
