Pedant point: he didn't kill Liquid in the comics. He simply knee-capped him, thus presumably putting him in a wheelchair for life, which I'm sure we all agree was much more reasonable and merciful.

“I’m not a bad guy so I’m not gonna kill you, I’m just going to cripple you and put you in intense pain for the rest of your life.”

Chris is Batman?

Pretty much killed him (realistically, comic book logic does whatever) Your legs have the largest arteries with the largest bones under the largest pressure by the largest muscles. All it takes is for a bone fragment to pierce a blood vessel and you're good as dead if you don't apply immediate pressure or a tourniquet and get immediate aid. Plus bullets do crazy shit in bodies too.

It might depend on how involved Tom and Harriet are in Barbs life right now. If they only check on her every now and then, then the house might be filled with more Borbage. If they are involved in her life and are cleaning the place up to sell it, then they might be taking some of the tugboat to pay for cleaning crews and building a nest egg to find another place for Barb to live.

I don't think anyone will be able to completely clean and repair the accursed house. Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember hearing that only some of the fire damages to the house where fixed?
 
I wonder if Chris would have still raped Barb if he had a girlfriend?

Since it’s Chris I assume the girlfriend would be more lower functional than him and it’d be a friends with benefits situation rather than anything serious.

But basically would he have still have raped (Or at least had sex) with his mom just because the opportunity was there if he was already getting sex?

So does that mean that the SSDI payments have just been stacking up and would be available to collect if he gets convicted with time served? The idea of Chris getting a mega tugboat if he gets convicted with time served is terrifying. If he gets out right after the conviction and gets his hands on that money, how would he even react to seeing that much since it accumulated?

Theoretically, but Barb could be spending it. Also, they may have suspended them by mistake and I doubt Chris is smart enough to even think about how to deal with that.

I also found this weird case where a person who was wrongfully suspended tried to get the State of Washington to replace the missed payments under a lost-income-under-self-defense-cases statute in Washington. It's incredibly strange as he should be suing the SSA, not the State of Washington, but he tried to use this Washington law to get the state to pay for it instead of the feds.

Sadly, Chris is not alone in stupidly believing that getting shot in the leg is only a mild/moderate injury, rather than a life-threatening one. You see this in a lot of videos where the cops shoot someone trying to stab someone etc. and inevitably some commenter goes "Why didn't they just shoot him in the leg!?!?"

the blame is 40% his parents, 55% him and 5% trolls at most

he needed a different upbringing to have any chance of living a "relatively normal life"

I think you're right if you're assigning blame to causes of general weirdness, but I this that the trolls' importance depends very strongly on what exactly 'how he turned out' means. Yes, Chris and Barb and Bob's failures made a normal, functional life next to impossible. Without troll influence, Wendy's couldn't even work out. However, the Trolls were way more than 5% influence in making Chris Chris.

I actually dated a nurse whose father was a police officer about to retire. She said he had only needed to fire his service pistol once while on duty because someone was coming at him with a knife, but he's such a good shot he disabled the guy by shooting him in the leg. I think the former officer is a very good shot but I think in the heat of the moment he wasn't able to properly aim at that guy's core like police are supposed to be trained to do.

Interesting fact, a lot of times they let police officers keep their guns when they retire. The officer gets attached to his gun over many years and the finish develops a unique wear pattern from being worn every day. They let him keep his gun when he retired.

Oh, and I know there is a stereotype where police always get killed on their last day of work. Five days before retirement, he had to demonstrate proficiency with his gun and get remeasured to make sure his uniform fit right. So on his last day of work nothing bad happened, his uniform fit perfectly, and his gun was well maintained.

What's your motivation for following Chris's story?

Personally I find his antics funny, and am interested in his abnormal psychology. He's like an avatar of the weird web 1.0 content I was obsessed with as a child/tweenager (something awful, Fark, geocities, even garbage like neopets and ebaumsworld, AOL chatrooms.) I never looked down on him really, although I understand he is morally bankrupt in many ways and is responsible for most of his own misery. I don't view him as a total victim.

Without the internet's attention he would have been some rambling autist doodling in obscurity until he died of a Twinkie-inflicted infarction at age 50. Now, he's an infamous rambling autist who will soon die of lifestyle diseases.

Which begs the question, would it be better for someone like Chris to understand their place in the world? Or would reality be too painful? He's adapted to the pressures and isolation of his life. He doesn't seem to have the IQ to be truly depressed. His negative emotions seem to stem from his failure to fulfill his grandiose delusions, not from any true understanding of his status as a pariah.

Is insight a function of intellect, as in, would it be impossible for someone as dysfunctional and moronic as Chris to see themselves as they truly are?

Sorry for my own manic rambling. The most interesting thing that could come from this latest saga is a new psych battery of Chris. My personal take is he's too far gone to comprehend anything, most of the trolling was light hearted, the internet was overall a positive force in his life since it gave him some purpose, and it allowed him to meet genuinely nice people who helped him and he's promptly manipulated everyone around him and thrown all the charity he's received in the trash.

I’ve been trying to figure this out lately. At first it was because there are so many layers to it and a lot of it is hilarious and incredible. It’s a perfect convergence of crazy shit, but it’s true. Then it got horrifying… But I still want to know what’s gonna happen next.

True for me as well. And lately I’ve been learning a lot of stuff about the US legal system, which has been an unexpected bonus.

I look down on people who treat others the way Chris does. Even before he assaulted his elderly mother, I looked down on him. That’s probably a draw too. I don’t care.

Don’t bet on it. His parents lived a long time.

It would destroy him. I really believe that. Especially now. His ignorance is truly bliss.

I hadn’t thought of depression as something you have to be smart to have.

They come from him not getting his way, not getting whatever he wants whenever he wants it in the manner he wants it.

I don’t think it’s ultimately been a positive force. It has fueled his ego beyond the mess his parents were already making, for starters. Then you get the porn that warped his childish brain. Then you get people like the IGs and Janke. If not for the internet, he’d be a neighborhood nuisance. He’d still find local people to hang out with (he did before the net discovered him, and he had those Pokemon pals a few years ago) and he might be easier to be around without the negative online influences.

I often find myself wondering if Chris would've ended up as bad as they are if they hadn't become some black hole of internet awe and fascination. Would they have just ended up as some random tard doing tard shit in the privacy of their own home? Would they have ever gotten so desperate for female attention that they would force themselves on their mother? Would they have trooned out? How much of Chris's antics were caused by them being some online spectacle?
 
First time posting in CWC thread. I was just morbidly curious: Did Chris ever say what his thoughts were on Shadow the Hedgehog as a character? Any sperg outs? Thoughts about the design? The edge?
