What sort of "community service" has Chris done? -

[Grabthar's Hammer]

There hasn't been much info on this, and it seems like it might be difficult to find out, but I'm very interested in what activities Chris has done (or will do) as part of his sentence. Is it just picking up trash along the highway, or something more involved like volunteering at a homeless shelter? I wonder if he tried to convince a judge that being a Pokemon gym leader would count as "community service"...

That lemonade stand may have counted toward it? Fundraising for charity generally falls under that umbrella. There certainly had to be more than that, though.

The lemonade stand was done before the plea deal.

All Marvin has told us (if i recall correctly) was that Chris had satisfied all the terms of his probation and was getting off rather easily. The exact details would probably compromise Christorical assets, so I dunno if we'll find that out.

But use your common sense. How else can he have "gotten off easily"? Rocky probably signed his papers off for doing crap like planting flowers at the church or something.

Yeah, pretty much this. When his probation is supposed to expire, I'm pretty sure he'll be done with everything. Fatty and Barb got off easy.

Well then, we'll have to begin the troll plot to have Koreans repo his shit while he watches. Or at least, that's what we'll tell him they're doing.

And he doesn't even care that he got off easy partly because Mike Snyder himself made a request to the judge that Chris be shown mercy.

^ that part pisses me off

That's too much work for Chris and Barb. Whatever it is they're supposed to be doing, they're really just sitting drinking soda/tea/whatever around the church while Rocky writes down they spent three hours of taking care of the church that day.

Although Barb will have another year of probation to go, IIRC...

But anyways, to the point, what does helping improve the church you belong to have anything to do with "community service?"

 

[Bgheff]

Very little, but they'll let it slide because of Autism. And they are right to, i'd trust an 8 year old with more responsibility than I would trust Chris.

That's exactly what I suspect, too! I have the mental picture of Chris farting around in a beanbag chair in Rocky's office, coloring pictures, sleeping, playing some Little Pig Blanket... And Rocky signs off on some paper that he did work at the church.

I wish I could make art, because if I could, I'd do a three or four panel illustration of Chris doing exactly what you described, and then give it some hipster title like "Tribulation".

More importantly, he's learned absolutely nothing from his latest run in with the law. Sure he's not going to go back to the gameplace because he has a mortal fear of police, but he still hates Snyder and thinks the entire mess is his fault. He wants the business to burn down because it eats him up inside that he cannot return to his Eden.
According to his latest Legos pics, he views himself as an angelic hero but has fallen because the harsh world of reality will not conform to his whims. Adding to that view is rocky letting skate by on what should be a punishment for him.

In Chris's mind, he shouldn't have to be punished at all. Snyder should be the one that gets punished.

This is why they shouldn't let you do your community service with people that you know. They'll just sign off on your papers and you'll do little in the way of doing anything that really improves the community.

Some of us were hoping he'd get house arrest because maybe that would be a bit more of a severe punishment. It still wouldn't be that bad because he's more or less a shut in. Besides being afraid of the cops and a thousand pounds of sausage on top of his delicate frame, he didn't really get punished for his crimes. Even the financial aspect of his crimes isn't that bad because he'll either use his tugboat or Barb's pension to pay for it.

THIS.

And also, THe GAMe PLACe was a card game, board game and RPG store (hence its name) that probably also sold anime, manga, other weeaboo fare and comics when CWC frequented it, now it's more like a Hobby Lobby crossed with a high-end toy store. So it's not even what he remembers it as.

 

[mendoza]

So Chris scared off all the weeabo customers back in the day?

Or Michael just changed the format as much as possible while keeping his core clientele, so it resembles the old stomping grounds of Chris-Chan as little as possible, lest the place turn into some Christorical museum?

I think it was the latter, and partially to mess with CWC (see YouTube comments in [cwc]Michael_Snyder[/cwc], he is known to fuck with CWC)

Worse, he was scaring off 10 year old children.
