'He overreacted a little bit... but I understand': Teenager whose father shot her laptop after her Facebook rants reveals they have now made up.
- North Carolina father Tommy Jordan made hilarious video for Hannah, 15
- Daughter apparently refused to do chores and complained about parents
- Destroyed laptop with his .45 gun and describes it as 'tough love' for her
- Hannah spoke out about the incident for the first time today
Speaking out about the incident for the first time, Tommy Jordan's daughter Hannah Marie tersely admitted to learning her lesson.
‘We got home, we talked about it, and then we went our separate ways for a little while but we came back together but we were laughing about it soon afterwards,’ she said Wednesday morning.

| Tense truce: Tommy Jordan and his daughter Hannah Marie talked about how she is still grounded and does not have a new computer |

| Angry: Tommy Jordan, of Albemarle, North Carolina, reads out his 15-year-old daughter Hannah's grumbling Facebook post in which she complains about having to do chores at home |  |

‘There's more good mail then bad mail, but there is a large amount of bad mail,’ he lamented.
‘I have an email folder called good, bad, and press.’
Since the video has become viral, Mr Jordan has written a series of posts on his Facebook page, saying that he’s not an awesome parent, just a ‘normal guy with a reasonable moral compass that I try very hard to keep pointed North.’The incident started when his 15-year-old daughter posted a scathing rant on her Facebook page that complained about the chores she was made to do- like making her bed and emptying the dishwasher.
While she hid the rant from her groups labelled Family and Church, her father saw it when he posted a funny photo of the family dog on the profile that they have for the animal.
On the Today show, Mr Jordan and his wife Amy said that they were consciously trying to make a point about how careful their daughter- and children in general- have to be when they post things online.
‘That's the point: a lot of what we were trying to make with her in the beginning was don't post anything on the web that you don't want the entire world to see and that's one of the reasons why we were upset with her in the first place,’ Mrs Jordan said.
To date, the video of Mr Jordan shooting her laptop has been viewed over 31 million times on YouTube.
‘I think all of this has driven the point home,’ Mrs Jordan continued.

| Irreparable: He shoots nine bullets into the computer, which he tells Hannah she will have to pay for as well. |
Hannah is still grounded and still does not have a new laptop, but that is all a part of the lesson that her parents were trying to show her.
In her original Facebook rant, she complained about how she should get paid for doing her chores and that her parents always want her to get a job. Though they did not address the money issue directly, it seems unlikely that it changed.
To prove that he did not act purely out of rage, Mr Jordan surprised Hannah with her hard drive on the morning show.
‘I didn't just go out there and empty an entire clip into my kids laptop, there was a little bit of thought in it,’ he said.
While she did not seem over the moon about the fact that she still had all of her data and photos, that was surely part of the lesson too.
