I'd like to preface this by saying that this isn't a live event or necessarily the likely future of CWC. But in my time reading articles online, I found a detailed exploration of Adam Lanza, the insane lunatic who killed a bunch of children and his mother in Newtown, CT.
The article is here.
There are a series of similarities between the shut in son of a single mother and CWC; the complete inability to function socially, withdrawing into his own world, and increasingly little left to live for. There is also rage, hatred, and a failure to understand the severity of what acting on it would do.
There are vast differences between Barb Chandler and Nancy Lanza, vast differences between sapphire blue Connecticut and newly swing state Virginia. But beneath it all, Adam was an increasingly delusional lunatic who had violent fantasies and ultimately decided to make them real.
We know Chris as an asocial recluse now in his 30s. He's succeeded in but one goal--losing his virginity--by means that may be more pathetic than keeping it. He has worked less than three months in his life, he destroyed his last actual friendship by drawing porn of the girl in question without her approval, and now has lost his webcomic, his father, his idealized vision of his own past, and now his home.
It is obvious to all that he will never achieve what he hoped to achieve. What happens when he gives up on that hope? What will he have left, short of hatred, repressed anger and the belief that every man is a jerk and every woman has a jerk?
I think this possibility is quite real. Maybe Bob has no gun, maybe Chris is physically incapable of going on a rampage, but I have to wonder what happens when Chris snaps. And I wonder, how long or how little Chris is from that point.
