Or better yet, the one where he doesn't go to the bar to meet Barb.
This.
Bob should have just said, "no," to karaoke.
Here's the issue, without the EPO, there'd be no legal basis for forcing Chris to leave that day.
Sort of. In cases of probable imminent harm, social services officers have a bit of leeway to act first and get permission second. Usually it's cases of Child Protective Services removing children from harmful situations, but in this case it's the 40 year old child who was the harmful situation.
It's a real shit show when this is abused.
I do agree though, on thinking about it further, that they probably did not issue it in advance. It would make it more likely that it was an officer-requested immediate EPO. This is provided for under § 19.2-152.8
I suspect they went in expecting to do nothing more than a lip service wellness check to shut the internet up. Once they saw the situation at 14BLC, they had an "oh shit" moment and called in for a verbal three day order just to get Chris the fuck out. Then, with more information in hand and having tried to reason with an uncooperative Barb, the extended six day official paper order was issued the next day.
And then they accumulated enough evidence (we still don't know what) to go ahead and arrest him anyways.
It's like everything with Chris: you start out all "WTF?" and then it only gets more horrifying the longer you look.
Do you think the day the cops came out,
Do we know it was police who did the initial wellness check? Usually it's a social services wellness officer (assuming Greene County is big enough to afford such a thing), and the police are only brought in if trouble is expected.
What am I saying? It's Chris. Of course trouble was expected.
who paid more attention to their career than the first wife
Or paid more attention to his wife than his career.
Sometimes you can't win.
Yes but there would be no guarantee that the result would be Chris.
It's Barb. Without Bob's genetic influence, the result could have been worse.
Let that thought rock you to sleep tonight.
Wasn't the theft the same day because Chris refused to stay a night in Sonchu and he was arrested the next day after Null reported the theft to the police?
They found Chris VERY quickly after
Judas @Null reported the theft. I suspect the police were already looking for Chris for other reasons.
