Chris was placed into Therapeutic Docket program for mall trespass case

[bigshot]

I wonder if all of the movie tickets they give out are for the same screening time? It would be interesting to stumble into a mall theater and end up in a theater full of mentally ill criminals. Come to think of it, that might be relatively normal for some theaters.

I wonder if Chris will sperg out in front of the judge when he only gets one rose instead of 5-6 for his invisible husbands, wives and theybies.

 

[Venom Snake]

Nice to see Chris diagnosed as 'severely mentally ill'. That's what (s)he is. Such a shame it's just a program to coddle the 'tards and not a one-way ticket to the funny farm.
Sooner or later Chris will end there anyway

The next big hit from Chris-chan and the Hedgehog Boys:
"I fought the law, and the law gave me some movie tickets"

 

[DeathHeat]

I change my mind.

I think Chris should go to a free movie
And the court system should go to a psychiatric ward for evaluation

 

[ShittyRecolor]

LOL the 1st thing that came to mind when I read that he will get a handshake from the Judge.. is his chimp-out at his high school graduation.

Never say that life doesn't give you do-overs.

Yeah, it will either end in a chimp-out or Chrissie trying to hug and kiss the judge, neither of which will probably result in anything good.

I don't want to get into the "should this program exist or not, and will it work, yadda yadda" question. It is what it is. What I wonder about is, will Chris get the idea that his participation in the program is a BAD thing in his life, meaning will he understand that he's a puppy that didn't shit on the paper? Has it been explained to Chris that having to do this is a sign he made a bad decision? The way Chris phrases this, it sounds like he thinks this is a recreational program for the true-and-honest autistics, not yet another way he's escaped jail.

Turns out I mistakenly linked to a pdf from the wrong county (Roanoke). The pdfs for Charlottesville are here: http://www.oar-jacc.org/therapeutic-docket.html

The document I originally linked doesn't mention which county it's from, but the pdf's properties credit the author as Jacqueline F. WardTalevi, who's a judge for Roanoke.

Both Charlottesville and Roanoke have this program. They seem to be similar, with one difference being that the Charlottesville pdfs don't mention details of its graduation ceremony. So it's unknown whether Chris will get a rose and handshake from the judge or something else.

Knowing Chris, he probably expects to go into the therapy meeting and have the court appointed therapist agree with him on everything he thinks and tell him that he dindu nuffin.

Either that or he's hoping the therapist is a hot lesbian.

I'm the program in Chris' area doesn't have the Flower Giving Ceremony. I want to see his reaction after he walks into a office to sit on a metal chair and be given some paperwork to sign under the humm of florescent lights and whirr of an overhead fan, especially if he's forced to seek help after the fact because he now has been determined to be a threat.

 

[Mason Verger]

So am I correct in assuming Chris already started this process a few months ago? Hence going to region 10? If so, holy shit did he almost fuck it all up with his antics an Too Many Games. IIRC he was like a cunt hair away from having actual police called on him, and it sounds like this program doesn't give you a lot of wiggle room for getting in trouble.

Checked out the participant handbook link on that page, the thing that jumped out at me was having to "actively search for employment, if unemployed and able to work." Would this not apply with to him with his tugboat?

 

[DCM90]

They probably won't be testing him and I don't think he does it often enough that it's a problem. I was just amazed that he took a puff.

He never really took to drugs and booze like we thought he would. The toy high he gets is all he needs.

No, i think an acid or shrooms trip wouldn't be a bad idea for Chris. That way he will face uncomfortable feelings, experience ego death and dissolution of his stupid abstract system.

I doubt they'll pursue the issue too far. They're not gonna throw him in jail over a trespassing charge, because he refuses to find work. Chris could also pretty convincingly claim he's self employed as an artist already.

No. "Able to work" is the relevant component here. Chris is on SSDI, which means he has the federal government's word that he can't work.

Eh it's more so suppose to be meant to subsidize the income of a low paying job, but yeah he could probably argue that too.

Yeah, but the administrators in charge of this program are just going to take the SSA at face value. None of them care enough about Chris to paddle upstream against the fed.

 

[Ruin]

Someone with Chris's ego is the last person on earth who should receive positive affirmation from the justice system.

 

[Tennis-Ball-Tony]

Yeah, it will either end in a chimp-out or Chrissie trying to hug and kiss the judge, neither of which will probably result in anything good.

C-Quarters to donuts says Chris actually will take pride in the ceremony and be happy about it.

I'm just imagining Chris and Bryan Silva watching Christopher Robin together, crying while eating popcorn.
