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

[MrsFrizzle]

Do we have an idea about CWC's potential to loose the tugboat if convicted? Conviction of a felony is enough to sink the tugboat, no?

Getting reinstated to SSI after serving one's sentence is pretty routine here in Mass (and in RI), though the cases I'm familiar with involved drug charges. Chris is still crazy and stupid and someone nobody would want to hire. More so now.

Rob Bell didn't take their case pro bono in the first place. Barb paid for his services using Bob's estate, like $50-$100k or something, and only when she was running out of money did she cave and accept the deal the prosecutor was giving them.

Barb's ego cost her and Chris tens of thousands of dollars.

I stand corrected. For some reason, I remember someone talking about him waiving the fees to make him lookself look good. But maybe that was just speculation.

Meanwhile, at the Albemarle District Attorney's office...

Thankfully those people shouldn't have to know at all!

 

[Ravenor]

He would be eaten alive in general population.

Humm goes down Salty.

 

[CaptainFeels]

I really hope when he was arrested, he was wearing his "I Got What I Deserve" shirt....man the irony would be astounding

OK, I'm caught up. Wow. Yeah.

I think at this point, even Hoardzilla is starting to understand that baby boy is much more of a liability than an asset. Lock the doors, Barbara. Use that tiny amount of space you'd have given your son at 14 BC for your big beautiful hoard. It won't betray you. It loves you. It never got arrested, did it?

I would have loved to see the arresting officer's reaction to Chris' outfit.
"We got a male, early thirties, wearing purple sunglasses, dressed like Lady GaGa from some horrifying alternate dimension."

Actually there's a recording from yesterday in the original thread. They call him a male, 5'9, brown hair, wearing two pairs of sunglasses and fake breasts.

It's not so much the SSI (though that is not by any means minor in this situation) as it is the portion that comes from his disability that may send the tugboat to Davy Jones's dirty sock locker. Because even if SSI itself can be done fairly easily for Chris, as mentioned his fabled autism diagnosis is too old by decades to be valid he'd need to get a new diagnosis and it's entirely possible that a theoretical re-diagnosis will not just have him be a nigh-functoinal autsitic but also have cripplingly stunted mental growth since the day he was born.

This is all in theory, of course, as if he's acting out like this because of a detail change to a video game character and swears it's a perfectly justified protest action, he may even be judged as being unfit to live in society period.

Fake breasts? I can only think of two possible connotations - they're not exactly "fake" because of obesity, or they're actually legit fake breasts we're only now learning he bought - and neither of them make pleasant mental imagery.

Oh God. OH GOD.
Three words:

tran on the run?

Which is quite honestly completely accurate. He is not fit to live a free life in society. He is a danger to himself and others.

Banned, on the Run

Without reading all nineteen pages: this is nuts!

Actually, though, at the risk of seeming like an "a-log", I'm glad. I've said before that I work with legitimately autistic people (who are not even a tenth as gross or deluded as Chris on their worst days), and it was pissing me off that he was able to use the Autism card to get himself out of trouble.

I would argue that the police and Snyder bear some of the blame for Chris ending up in jail because they let him off easy in the previous incidents. It made Chris get cocky and develop a "screw authority figures; I'm exempt from the law because I'm autistic" attitude that inevitably led to a showdown like this.

 

[ChuckSlaughter]

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?

No dude, if you're even arrested and found innocent your arrest record is still public. Often you can get it expunged but often only after some amount of time, meanwhile the courts sell the records to data aggregators who will give it up every background check you have forever!

Anyhow they will always tell you who is in jail so that you can bail them out or not worry when your friend just disappears.

GameStop is inherently lazy. I worked there 10 years ago, and we kept 50 Cent Bulletproof displays up for close to six months. When I went to dispose of it finally it broke the trash compactor.

You shouldn't put anything bulletproof into a trash compactor

That is not so as evidenced by Hellblazer's request. Also, how can one read text on such a small screen without a magnifying glass?

I browse the forums anytime I'm bored. I have bad eyes too. I also read whole textbooks on my phone do you have a moto razr or something?

Well as a repeat offender he might have some charges laid, vandalism and assaault ( possibly aggravated if spraying someone with pepper spray is aggravated )

I think they're his real moobies.

As much as this might sound A-loggy, Chris could be considered a human-based example of domestication. For the greater part of his life, he was continuously given everything he wanted while growing up. Food, toys, everything. He had no social life to the point of his parents actually preventing him from socializing with other children or getting the kind of guidance he desperately needed in those critical developmental years. And everything he's done up to now that brought serious repercussions of his social ineptitude was perfectly summarized by his own words back at the Snyder Trial; "My mother will handle that."

Chris has almost literally been trained from birth to expect others to solve all his problems for him, especially if something goes wrong like the GAMe PLaCe incident. He's entirely dependent on Barb, which when that dependency is denied is like a drug addict being kept from the crack stash.

What we're about to see once Chris gets internet access again is how his state of mind will be after only a few days of not being around Snorlax. It's going to be the BIGGEST clue we've ever gotten as to how he will behave when she inevitably croaks for good and Chris is all alone in the world.

I wish I could've been a fly on the wall when the intake officers discovered his strap-on harness.

Actually there's a recording from yesterday in the original thread. They call him a male, 5'9, brown hair, wearing two pairs of sunglasses and fake breasts.

Imagine the poor soul that had to reach into the cleavage of his "muscle bra"/manssiere to make sure he wasn't carrying any concealed weapons

Exactly. I feel like the reason Chris is here is because people have felt sorry for him and given him the benefit of the doubt, and it's only made things worse. I'm not saying people were wrong to try to help him, but he has comprehensively pissed it back in society's face every time. Snyder decided to be lenient - Chris should have been grateful, but no - he was angry that Snyder hadn't just stood there and taken his vehicular assault like a man. He insulted him and accused him of masterminding bizarre conspiracies. The lesson he's taken every time is "I can do this and it's okay because I won't get in trouble for it." To use a phrase from British politics, what he needs is a short, sharp shock, and a swift spell in prison might be just the job.

I don't think he'll miraculously develop a conscience or an understanding of society's expectations, but if he figures out that the law applies to him as well, then maybe it'll deter him from being an insufferable little shit in future.
