Disagree, since Chris was called that after Gamestop and Snyder incidents, where he has next to 0 repercussions. Here he will spend year in jail and maybe something on top in prison, but in the end in no way this is going to be the adequate punishment for fucking his own probably demented mother in a course of a month. For this he should be kept away at least from her, but that's no gonna happen.
Taking a long view on this, I'm not entirely sure about the Teflon Tard characterization. Do we measure justice in merely terms of legal ruling? Do we not have a legal system where one party can exploit the legal system to bankrupt a rival? Is that itself not a form of punishment? A person found not-guilty can still be ruined form legal fees. Snyder and Bell got Bob's pension. Debt repayment became a part of the same escapist fantasy world Chris created to act out power fantasies and pave over personal trauma. Even if Chris is too dumb to see it, there was backlash.
I've been questioning the Snyder Incident a bit in recent months in regards to how much the Chandlers
got away with. The Gamestop Incident was a slap on the wrist for sure (counterpoint: no one was actually hurt except when Chris maced himself while disposing of it), but the Snyder case cost them most of what Bob left them, in either legal fees or the settlement with Snyder. There
were financial repercussions after that, but Barb and Chris were already mainlining credit card debt and stretching his tugboat as best they could, so the effect isn't as immediately noticeable. Chris was going to e-beg either way, but the Snyder Incident pushed him out of the carefully laid safety-net Bob had been cultivating ever since he realized his last son was an unemployable retard. Chris would have had to grow up and take care of himself eventually, but that first arrest forced him into being the breadwinner that much sooner, when he might have been able to coast until Barb died. Up to now, even just
playing house has been too stressful for him, save for the parts where he clearly enjoyed himself. Its aged him, and I think its a major factor on how we got here.
The only way I
don't see the Snyder thing as them paying a hefty price is that Bob's inheritance wouldn't have lasted very long one way or the other (spending after the fire would have probably claimed what was left). I'm not sure how it all would have worked, but Barb would have pissed it away.
