Containment What will happen when Barb dies?

That’s not a good idea because Chris Chan could then be sentenced to death and be executed by lethal injection if he did something like that. Virgina does have the death penalty.

That would be a pretty interesting way to end the saga. Just the death from Green Mile, just replace John with Chris.

One thing is that the state mental health systems vary a great deal from state to state. In every state shit has gone seriously downhill since the Reagan years but some places actually have a mental health system that will take care of the serious and persistent if they come to the reasonably serious attention of the authorities (like New York) and some offer absolutely nothing except for NGRI/forensic systems (like Virginia.) I made the mistake earlier in the thread of applying my knowledge of New York to Virginia, and it simply isn't so. What they do with the mentally ill in a lot of states these days is absolutely disgraceful. I'd have to disagree on state hospitals being snake pits, maybe in the pre-Thorazine first half of the last century, but these days really it is the most caring environment available for the significantly mentally ill. But that's not saying much.

I have family that worked in the mental health system in NY throughout the 90s, and I absolutely remember the shift. Suddenly “patients” where “clients”, ones that worked in ARC programs became “consumers”. In my area there where 2 massive mental health centers whithin an hour or two of where I lived, and business was fucking booming right up to the day they locked the doors. Now, both facilities are rotting away as backdrops to urban explorers and ghost hunters. So now, all those patients are in community group homes, but the thing is: I don’t see young patients among them anymore. Just the old ones that they transitioned out of the hospitals. So where are all the young mentally ill people now that don’t have families to take them in? In a lot of cases, shitting on a sidewalk off Santa Monica blvd.

He should murder an Idea Guy. Nobody would care enough about one of those worthless fucks to sentence someone to death over it. Of course, they might not even convict him.

Either that, or, Chrislike, still living with Mommy only to become homeless when she dies.

To paraphrase Ron White, Virginia has the death penalty and they USE it!

Seriously, Virginia is consistently one of the top three states for executions alongside Texas and Utah.

Even the current governor has not made any serious moves to abolish the death penalty in Virginia, despite all the other lefty policies he's trying to put forward.

I don't know how Americans don't know this shit doesn't happen with the mentally ill in America. Maybe if they're Europeans or something, but seriously, no, you do not just get put in a home. You have to want it and ask for it and even then the waiting lists are long and you'd better have good insurance. Anything state-run is a snakepit and you'd be better off murdering someone to be in prison instead.

Depends on the location like @Spooky Bones said. Large metropolitan citys have a homeless/crazy designated areas, like skid row in downtown Los Angeles, you wanna see some fucked up shit? drive through there in a car you trust your life not to break down. LAPD had a policy of dumping homeless homeless/mentally ill there for years. You drive 15 miles west to a place like santa monica, now you have a city with its own police, and even a homeless task force. It varies so much just in one large city. Did you catch Josh's stream on mobility Mary? remember when she has the homless shack panic attack when she's trying to go down the sidewalk under a bridge? Now it was either THAT bridge or one just south of it along the 405 freeeway; the North side is LA city, the South side is a small city known as culver city. North side has 10-20 tents as LA city puts up with that shit, meanwhile across the street merly 30 yards a tent is up for 2 days before its moved in the city not under LAPD's jurisdiction is removed.

I think I mentioned before Dillion Thomas' theory: some creep like sockness is gonna "adopt" chris and chris is going to wreck their home/apt and get kicked out and skip around to enablers and wheans, for a while. Maybe some sexual favors for rent like shmorky. Is Rocky still in contact with chris? Best thing would be that faith based home IF chris can behave himself.

I wonder how Joshy-boy and his loving wife NinFreakFaggot are doing these days. The only one I checked up on was Boyd and the only activity I’ve been seeing was just him spending all his waking hours 100%ing PS4 games. Guess he’s trying to make the most out of that extortion tugboat.

Some do-gooder or several do-gooders will find Chris. Maybe even house him. At this point he has his own very exceptional fanbase. He'll be okay (until he's not). Then, he can eat from the trash and be a nuisance till we get the prison arc.

A nest of feral kittens will be discovered in her chest cavity. Chris' remaining cats (including Lucy who's somehow survived this entire time) will congregate on the corpse. The half-dozen kittens Chris has killed over the past couple years will descend from kitty heaven, playing tiny little harps as Chris dances to music only he can hear.
It'll be a real... Cat Party.

Yeah, a lot of them are homeless. Or in prisons, which house way more chronically mentally ill people than all of our psychiatric hospitals. The only services available to most poor or working class mentally ill people are community outpatient mental health centers, which are almost always way overburdened, underfunded, and totally incompetent. I used to work as a nurse for a county-run inpatient psych hospital, and we basically saw the same patients over and over again because the outpatient programs were (and are) a joke. Patients rarely saw the same doctor or therapist for any length of time and were lucky if they could get even one appointment a month. And of course a lot of them weren't able to stay on their meds, so they'd freak out and have a major psychotic episode, try to kill themselves, or have some other crisis and end up back in inpatient for another one or two week "stabilization" period. And this would just repeat itself over and over. It was sooo fucking depressing to watch and eventually I quit because I didn't feel like anything I did mattered there. I don't think anyone wants to go back to the days of mass institutionalization, but our system now really isn't much better, it just looks different.

I think it's very likely that one/some of Chris's white knights will put him up somewhere or otherwise help house him if (when) he becomes homeless when Barb dies, how long that would last is anyone's guess.
