How much does Barb restrict Chris' social interactions?

[Marvin]

What I wonder is why Barb is putting Chris on a leash NOW? He's proven time and time again he can't be released into public. The Target arrest, being banned from Fashion Square, and his PVCC stint happened before the "trolling". Chris is too fat and broken to make much of a ruckus now.

Barb herself also can't be released into public. Oct 28 was also part her fault, for example.

She's putting him on a leash because she also wanted to in the past, but she felt comfortable at the time letting Chris go with Bob places, for example. But Bob is gone now, so all she has left is Chris, who became her new stuffed animal.

You gotta point there. We don't know much about her youth, but from 1961 to 1981 she was mattress fodder. She can't be trusted with her genitals. Do you think Barb has a twisted uterus?

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

^Yeah, she's just hoarding him. Any rule she gives him is really just about her.

It's not about protecting Chris, it's all about serving her best interests, and now nobody and no rationalization can oppose Bar-bruh Wussun Channlurrr's decision. She had been pulling the reigns as Bob was deteriorating, and probably had near-total control of Chris' activities as Bob passed... DEFINITELY by the time of the Oct. 28th incident. The general consensus is that, without Puppetmaster Barb's hand up Chris' gaping ass, there wouldn't have even been an Oct. 28th incident.

Now, ENJOY YOUR FOOD!

The reason why is because Borb failed Chris as parents. Again, they knew Chris had problems. They knew he had crippling anti-social tendencies and a habit of being suckered by strangers. They knew about his autism, temper-tantrums, and issues with interacting with others. And they did absolutely nothing about it except try and keep Chris secluded and alone.

Chris has been in trouble before for doing socially inappropriate things due to his autism and low intelligence. Instead of asking them more questions, or even just hanging up the phone and asking Chris WTF they were talking about, she just did kind of a mother lion growl at what she saw were predators (no pun intended) trying to eat her cub.

Bob and Barb seem to have been possessed of the same mentality as Chris himself in regards to problems. Namely, when they have a problem, they just hide their heads in the sand and wait for it to go away or solve itself, and blame the outside world when that doesn't happen. Even if it cost their son a chance at a happy life, they couldn't be bothered to put in a little bit of work.

That approach to problems is peculiar, especially since Bob was an engineer. But maybe he turned a blind eye to his personal situations.

I blame Barb a lot more for that incident. Remember she got hit (no pun intended) with two felonies while Chris just got one. Plus you especially can't excuse her actions due to autism.

I think it's because Barb is so horribly suffocating all the time, she just henpecked him until he retreated to the quietude of his shack to listen to records and wait for the sweet release of death.

Oh yeah definitely. Chris said she took the wheel at some point. Hell, maybe Chris got the charges that he did because they couldn't tell who was actually driving when they hit Snyder.

oh that's an easy one. he was sitting in whichever seat reeked of

Come on, guys. I know Barb is a monster, but every time Chris goes out in public, he does something fucking stupid, violent, or illegal. Yes, it's Borb's fault that Chris is like this to begin with, but there's no turning back now. If she doesn't keep him locked away, he'll make a dick of himself again.

oh whats worse? getting thrown in jail or living the life of servitude to barb?

Nah, he's been afraid of the cops for awhile. Plus, I don't know if he's done too many violent things in public. That was more Barb.

It's more like Chris mishandles situations until a certain measure of violence is called for - which is how he winds up hog-timed and his dominant hand secured.

That life of service is going to be a whole hell of a lot shorter than a jail sentence. Barb's got a few years at best.

Are you kidding? Most of the time he goes out he just sits quietly at McDonalds or wherever and stares at his mcnuggets. On the odd occasion that shit hits the fan, Chris doesn't know how not to exacerbate it, but it's not like he's a typhoon of destruction every time he walks out the door.

 

[GFYS]

We seem to lose perspective, because we generally only see the explosions. The few reports we get of Chris quietly killing himself with fast food and burying himself in his portable electronics rarely kick up as much fuss (though this forum seems to analyze and account for it better than others).

Still, it's worth noting, he has enough of those public tantrums that they're probably going to be a problem for him for the rest of his life. If Chris has one lunatic outbreak every two or three years, that's still too much to be good - especially due to his lacking finances or societal clout.

I also have no trouble seeing Chris escalating one of his impotent tard rages to a dangerous level. It honestly doesn't take much... A tard rage behind the wheel of a car has deadly implications, for Chris and people around him. As well, we know how weak and harmless he is in person, but some first responder might not see it like that. In this day and age, people get shot by police for freaking out in Target, resisting arrest, or other such behavior.

I don't see Chris having a public tantrum on his own.

What about the most recent time he got banned from the mall because he yelled at a troll on the phone? I'm pretty sure that had nothing to do with Barb.

Yeah, but if trolls hadn't called him up, he wouldn't have had that tantrum.

This, plus Chris has a history at the mall. Other people yelling for no reason might've gotten kicked out, but I don't think they would've gotten the same reaction that Chris did.

Chris has (and still does) gotten banned from places around town for loitering and other things like that. I don't really consider that to be the same kind of incident as him freaking out and having to get hog-tied. His current paranoia lumps cops in with the troll/greene county conspiracy. Also, from his past freakouts, he's learned that he can't win fights against cops. Struggling won't help.

That's why I really don't see him having anymore tantrums.

And it's weird, he had this mood change after Bob died. It's a lot harder for him to lie to himself. It doesn't mean he doesn't do it, but still, he's a lot more willing to admit flaws in himself and his life. His perfect little world ended.

 

[CatParty]

Admit and complain about flaws, but yet never do anything to fix them.
