Chris-Chan Arrested and in Jail, awaiting Hearing on Monday (28-Dec-2014)

[Yawning Bulbasaur]

Hopefully they sentence him to involuntary commitment and he's finally forced to get the kind of help that Borb have went out of their way to avoid getting him his whole life. Probably the most likely scenario in his situation.

 

[Justlurkin]

Long time lurker here, the call says he'll be in court tomorrow morning.

Does that mean he can be released after that? Or will he stay in jail for new year's eve?

 

[JULAY]

Yes, but did we confirm if he's talking to hexagonal sinks this time around, too?

He's going to make friends with a hex-shaped bowl, shout TV talk at random, pretend to be a genie with light brown hair, and NOT eat prison food!

Ma main man had 2 strikes, slipped, got arrested and flipped
He screamed 'don't call anybody!' and emptied the clip
gots tired of running from the police

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

Maybe he'll learn something from this?

He'll hate the gamestop employee for the rest of his life. He'll never stop believing that the gamestop employee is a bad person for defending himself. But maybe, just maybe, he'll understand that assaulting people gets him in trouble, and maybe he'll learn to keep his seething hatred to himself forever.

 

[Doctor Duke]

I couldn't make out much, but they did confirm Chris will be held until Monday. This makes sense, as they don't arraign, etc, on Sundays. He's stuck.

 

[Affe]

Is this the dumbest thing someone has ever done for Sonic?

You WISH.

I'm really surprised the jail gave out that information so freely, especially when the caller was obviously masking their voice. I guess our highfalutin' city-folk expectations of privacy don't mean much in bumfuck Virginia.

Does anyone know exactly what video court entails?

To be honest I'm quite surprised too. Voice masking was added after the call.

 

[Cackman]

53 pages in (combining the old thread) and nobody's asked the important question; why is there still a Sonic Boom display in Gamestop? The game came out 2 months ago and flopped. It's almost as if they left the display up to troll Chris...

If he makes bail, very likely. I think it's tremendously unlikely Chris will be held without bail. The question is whether someone will pay it.

 

[Loke]

No one's bailing him out this time, I trust? He's very obviously out of resources and friends to call, which means he's stuck again.

 

[Falcon Lord]

Chris has proven over and over again that he's incapable of learning. Going to jail would just balloon his persecution complex and contempt for authority to even greater proportions.

 

[HarryHowler]

Whatever happens, I hope he is actually forced to see a therapist. I believe it was strongly recommended that he go to therapy after the Snyder thing, but that would cut into lego bucks.

I was under the impression that Chris having to see a therapist was part of the plea-bargain that Bell cut for the Chandlers two years ago. Either the therapy didn't achieve anything, or the court just never bothered making sure Chris actually attended the sessions.

 

[Fenneko]

I can't understand shit! Could someone pretty please transcribe?

 

[The I Scream Man]

I wonder if it's possible to clear it up a little bit, I can hardly understand anything that's being said.

I can't understand shit! Could someone pretty please transcribe?

Yeah, this.

I was going to say someone had to bribe someone to keep that sign up. Either way, it was obvious from the get go something was going to happen. Just not in the way anyone expected.

 

[General Juicer]

I possess my own negative views on prisons, but I digress. Why don't you want to see Chris in jail? Considering the quantity of crimes Chris has committed over the years and his dysfunctional behaviour in society, why would it be surprising that he has now reached a point where he may be sentenced to imprisonment?

Because what should've been the last resort of last resorts might be the first serious attempt to help Chris -- and even if he does end up turning out for the better, incarceration is still going to extract its psychological pound of flesh from him. Even if you know that someone is something of a dumbass, you kind of have to feel for someone who has fallen through almost every non-punitive safety net (friends, school, family, church, a previous brush with the law, etc.) and is only just now learning lessons he ideally would've learned two decades ago. You kind of get attached to the guy who wrote your favorite kitsch webcomic, you know?

Seeing the Judge from a remote location in the jail, instead of moving all the prisoners to the Judge's courtroom. Saves time, is safer, and is done a lot for initial hearings.

 

[Overcast]

This has been quite an eventful year I've got to say. The house fire, the facebook tirades, the piercings, Sonic's blue arms, and now this.
