Well, on one hand, stuff like this event has happened before: Chris makes a nuisance of himself in public, is told to leave, throws a tantrum, is threatened with the cops, leaves.
Of course, Chris always has to have the last word, so instead of just leaving, he has to deliver a final jab while doing so. Whether it's flipping off people, shouting curse-ye-hamheehaw at them, calling them JEW! or whatever - Chris can't just let go.
And usually, he gets away with it. People just let him leave and are glad to be rid of him.
Well, Snyder once dared to block his escape. That time, Fatty promptly panicked and hilarity ensued (well, not for Mr. Snyder who I hope has recuperated since then).
So what's different this time around?
Chris didn't just curse or flip off the dude in yellow, he sprayed his shirt witrh pepper spray. Again, while he is on the way out, off-hand and without breaking stride, as is his cowardly wont. And, to be fair, it doesn't look like his attack has done a lot of damage. Yellowshirt looks more surprised than injured.
My point is: Chris' attitude hasn't changed one bit from any of his former encounters with mall staff or rent-a-cops. He's still a belligerent coward. The only thing that's different is the weapon upgrade: spray instead of curse.
I'm absolutely positive that Chris wasn't (and isn't) aware of the dire consequences his weapon upgrade would entail. He's still too much of a coward to consciously assault somebody. He didn't know that what he did constitutes assault.
So why did he do it? How did he end up having a pepper-spray can on his person in the first place?
My guess: It's part of the tomgirl/lesbian shtick.
The little can of spray in the purse seems to be part of the stereotypical lesbian equipment.
Remember that Chris visited some local LGBT events? I guess that's where he learned that it's
de rigeur for people like him to carry pepper spray. Maybe someone saw him there and felt sure that sooner rather than later Fatty would fall prey to some homophobic rednecks and advised the weapon upgrade.
For a mind as malleable as Fatty's it'd have been enough for him to overhear some conversation where someone mentioned that they felt much safer and better carrying a can of mace or something.
Let's not get retarded. After a decade of living in the Truman Show, it's impossible to argue that anything Chris does would've occurred naturally. Plus, how many times have we been amazed at something Chris did without any prompting whatsoever only to find months later that he got talked/goaded/manipulated into it?
Chris's mind is like play-do: easily bent out of shape and very, very malleable. Everything we know about him leads to the same conclusion: He's never had an original thought or idea in his life. Everything he ever did was a copy of something someone else has done before.
You could say that for Chris, being prompted IS what 'occurs naturally'.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn he's only had the mace for a short period of time, if he'd acquired it in 2004 this would have happened in 2004.
I absolutely agree. One more pointer towards my guess that the pepper spray is a result of Fatty attending LGBT events this fall.
enough to use it on security (maybe even JERKOPS) should they appear).
