I thought the sentence was mandatory evaluation and treatment? Is the treatment only if he's found dangerous? I mean yeah, we're talking about rural Virginia, but I'd think they'd at least give him a couple appointments with a social worker after he admitted to running someone over.

There's no treatment for :stupid: .
Besides that, remember that he's already getting treatment - he's on various psych medications, or at least he was at one point. They probably just took a look at his prescriptions and said "Yeah, keep taking them".

I don't remember the treatment part.

Plus, why would they make him see a social worker if there wasn't any intent?

Double post: Ah, now that I look over Cyan and Indigo's description of the trial, Cyan says that Chris' sentence included him getting "psychiatric evaluations and treatment", while Indigo's said that Chris would be required to "comply with all psychiatric treatment and evaluation." What Indigo's said suggests that, if there was treatment required, he'd have to take it. But ultimately, we don't know whether treatment was part of the hypothetical psychiatric treatment and evaluation or not.

Or, well, I guess we do now, considering that Chris just went to his evaluation and didn't have any treatment, and hasn't been hauled off to jail yet.
 
He's an adult autistic child, not an ax murderer. The judge and the shrink correctly identified that he's not a real threat. They granted Snyder the restraining order and the shrink likely strongly recommended further treatment for his mental issues, but couldn't force him to get it. Chris may be :stupid: but he realizes bad things will happen if he ever comes into contact with Snyder again. That's about all the court can do.

IIRC, Rob Bell promised the court he'd make sure Chris would become a contributing member of society, but he's a politician, and promises are meant to be broken :sighduck:

I'm sure that the court's phrasing meant they were sending him to an evaluation, and that the court empowered the evaluator to order mandatory treatment if it met his judgment. But the evaluator saw Chris isn't going to murder anybody, so he didn't.

Do they REALLY matter? I'm pretty sure even you've made random, empty threats when you got really angry. Virtually everyone does it. Chris would ironically be even less likely to get in trouble for it: he's an autistic manchild, so people will be less likely to take him at face value due to his lesser understanding of social mores, and he also has a history of being rather cowardly and running from confrontation. How many times did he flee from Snyder before the police could ever arrive? Like GrandNumberOfPounds said, he's not an ax murderer. He's done virtually nothing that would actually be cause for serious concern.
 
wasn't the psychiatric evaluation BEFORE his real major internet infamy? Granted, his threats are obviously hollow, at the time of the evaluation, most of them hadn't been made yet. Even IF, for some reason, the psychiatrist had looked for him online to, I dunno, see if he was making Facebook posts that showed disordered thinking... he hadn't posted all those screaming mouth-frothing threatening videos yet. At worst he would have seemed like a total weirdo.

You're thinking about the stuff that resulted in the Autism Papers. This is about the evaluation that was mandated after his arrest for hitting Snyder with the van.
 
Ah. My mistake. I AM GENIUS.

I still highly doubt that psychiatrists are in the habit of looking up their charges online. I've been in and out of therapy for the better part of the last twenty years and I'm only aware of ONE therapist who tried looking me up--she looked me up on Facebook and didn't find anything. And that was an unusually dedicated therapist. An overworked court-appointed one would probably just look for overt signs of someone being an ax-murderer. Like them actually holding an axe covered in blood. Otherwise they're not likely to bring anything up.
 
Even Snyder didn't push for harsh treatment, so it's unlikely that a court-ordered psychiatrist would be looking for danger signs. It was probably just a formality in view of Chris' autistic manchild status.
 
He went to see the shrink and they totally fixed him. It's cool. His IQ is back to 300 and he doesn't shit himself as regularly.
 
Didn't Chris fly into a tard rage in the middle of the trial? I'm sure they realized then if not before that Chris is all noise and zero action.

Not a tard rage. He just spoke out of turn by saying he believed Snyder didn't deserve a red cent. His lawyer had called him an "adult autistic child" and Chris was in make-up so it probably didn't catch anyone too off guard. If anything it supported Bell's claims.

Also, his duck is bigger than previously photographed and is no longer bent.

Chris' death threats consist of random bouts of tard rage, taking out his aggression on various dolls and cameras, simulated assault with a phenomenally valuable Megatron pistol, and waving a pen knife around while wearing a kilt and demonstrating his nonexistent mastery of balance.

I'd find it hard to take any of that seriously.
 
Time and time again Chris has demonstrated that he'll fold up when actually confronted with someone that could beat him. As for a threat to society, he rarely interacts with anybody--likely buying q-sands at Sheetz or Walmart--and they both see their fare share of weirdos (frankly, surprised CWC hasn't made to People of Walmart).
 
Im not sure therapy would do him that much good at this point, even if he was willing to go along with it.

It would be nice if he had sort of an "autism expert", sort of like Rocky, but one who actually can handle Chris and his problems.
