Have to pay off those drug debts.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

Sadly, lower than payday loan stores I'm sure.

I also personally know him and the sad part is the addiction was more powerful than anything. He was offered help and did not want it maybe now he will get it.

You are a pathetic human Matt...Cathryn you need to get off you high horse and mind you own business... In fact you all need to shut and mind your own business... You dont know what was going on... You dont know what it is like... But acting like you lot do is in human... Dont you have any feelings... Dont you have any compassion... I think not... People make mastakes and if you are perfect then you may throw the first stone... But I truly doubt that you are...

Annalise....In this country we have the RIGHT to freedom of speech...as do you...Chris may be the one that makes the mistakes...We all are going to pay when he is locked up...Maybe that will change him for the better...With his track record...probably not

I can't say I embezzled tens of thousands of dollars to pay off drug dealers. I agree though about having some compassion, however, society has become too soft on the poor behavior of others. What happened to the fear of being shunned of the face of the earth so one would not think of doing these deeds?

Matt you are nothing but an immature bully...Who thinks he knows all... But you do not...I want you to try something...Be a man... You need to shut you mouth... For you know nothing... I feel sorry for you... Ann I'm glad you tried to help but where are you now but running your mouth off... If you really care then you wouldn't back stab him... Jim I know who you are and now you are as bad as Matt is... What a friend you turned out to be...You all need to get a life... And leave the poor boy alone...Obviously you all have never walked a mile in any ones shoes... We are all human and you all need to stop throwing stones... For you all will be judged someday.

If you're implying that someone that has to steal thousands of dollars and has no intentions of getting help for their drug problems of many years is more of a man than Matt Henry I feel terribly sorry for YOU. Unless you have been one of the many people directly affected by Chris's actions, past and present, you have no right to even comment on this matter. I would never consider Chris "a poor boy" considering he is someone who has had so many people in his corner trying to help him and has never wanted to do anything to change his life. As you can tell, people commenting on this article have all been affected in some way by this and by the sounds of the top of the page saying "77 people recommend this page" we are not the only ones. The only people making Chris's situation worse are the ones that constantly making excuses for his actions, including you "Annalise Joans." That is not the way things get better. Actions have consequences and it looks like Chris is about to learn the hard way.

Ok "J"...I really dont give two * about you...You obviously scared to show your true face for you are hiding under "J"...I never implied anything... Awe thank you so very much for feeling sorry for me...You are so very sweet...J/K... You are just as bad of the rest of them...And unfortunatly I have all the right to comment on this matter...You have got to be perfect huh...You never have made a mistake huh...Never Ever in you whole pathetic little world...And for your information I'm not makeing any excuses what so ever...So quoting you " this is not the way things get better," But bashing someone is huh?...I dont think so...You have it backwards... It's you I feel sorry for...I'll give you a bit of advice... GROW UP!!!!! Don't treat people like you like to do...Now you are sad...Oh and you probably never had an addiction before either huh... well when you do then you can comment on it...It's not as simple for you to understand what he is going through...I know I said it before but you "J" have no right at all to throw stones...So can it.

Oh wow what a lovely comment your folks must be really proud of you C M... I see you are scared as well...You should talk...You all have no right in the world to throw any stones ever...

You're right Annalise, everyone makes mistakes.. But there are ways to fix them and unfortunately there are people that see no problem with the things they do and Chris is one of them. That is why I have said he needs HELP.. The only problem is you cannot help someone that does not want to be helped. I wonder what it will take for people to realize that this isn't a petty issue. What happens the next time he drives drunk and God forbid hurts someone? Is that what it takes for people like you to open their eyes? I don't know what this world is coming to.... I suggest if you're as close with him as you think you are, instead of shrugging all of his major issues off like it's no big deal, encourage him to get the help he desperately needs. And like I said, unless you're one of the many people that have been negatively directed from his actions, maybe you should try putting yourself in their shoes for just one second before making excuses for him.
Also, "C M", is the "girl he knocked up in the first place" also facing jail time? Hm, the article must have forgotten to mention that. Not sure what that has to do with any of this but alright.. As far as I know he only had about one good friend so if I thought real hard I'm pretty sure I could tell you who "C M" really is....

Hmmmmm people like me... That is as rude as you are...And you are as bad as C M for I know that it did not mention anything about drinking in the passage...I am not shrugging all of his major issues off like its no big deal... But bashing a persons charater is just wrong and uncalled for...Oh I put my feet in others shoes all the time...But I can see you don't or won't...And I'll comment all I want...You must be perfect for you seem to like throwing stones like all the rest do... As I have said before you will be judged...I have pitty for you...I hope God wont judge you to harshly.

CM his child and ex have nothing to do with this so keep them out. As for running my mouth everyone here has been. I wish Chris the best.
By the way I am a part of the over protective family.

You clearly aren't listening to anything I have said because I have said I also know him personally. You have said you know him personally but you're telling me you don't know about his "other" problems? It's public knowledge so I'm not saying anything that isn't true. All you have been mentioning is how he has an "addiction" but that's a little irrelevant to the THEFT matter. And if you're telling me that his addiction is the reason he had to steal $40,000 I'd say that's all the more reason for him to get help, don't you think?

Oh really? Well if Matt is apart of your family you or someone needs to teach him some manners...He is truly lacking in that department...I'm not running my mouth off...I just don't think that it is right to bully people...It's just not right...

Oh I know him...I know his problems...Well they may be public knowledge but the drinking one is not mentioned in the passage...But you seem to be his personal buddy huh? Well in my world you don't bash your buddy in public...But that is how I was raised...I feel you have a lot of growing up to do...You must be young...Not a whole lot of life experience...Well you don't treat people with disrespect...And the quotes are a bit much as well as using all caps on some words...I'm not throwing any stones but you seem to like to as I have said before. Your parents must be really proud of you "J."

At one point, I was also in his corner the way you seem to be. Sadly, after many years I have realized he needs to get to the point where he wants to change for himself because nobody can make him feel that way. I have not disrespected anyone, including you. You are the one that has bashed just about everyone on this page for speaking their mind, the same way you are... Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Facts are facts and nothing can change that. But speaking of disrespectful, yes, my parents are very proud of me, thanks for saying so. I am much more mature than you are, which is why I am walking away from this ridiculous banter. Good luck to Chris in the future. I hope he has the ability and will power to better his life for himself and also the people who care about him, who will then also be proud of him.

I'm just calling it how I see it and I am not bashing anyone it is you and the others doing the bashing...You have just proved to me on how mature you really are.

I'm sure his scout troop is really proud of him

Fall Indian you need to really stop for thats is non of you concern...That is non of your business what so ever...

All I'm going to say is I made a mistake and I am truly sry about everything I wish I could take alot back but I can't and I am going to stand up and take all this like a man it's sad it had to go this far and the people I hurt I m sry and I wish I could take all this back but I can't and well thats alll I got to say well thanks every one for ur comments well

I hope things work out for you!

This is who I am and thanks Ann it's hard doing things things in jackison here watching over grandma she had a heart attack been in the hospital ever since been going through alot of shit I just don't know what to do any more but like I said it is what it is I can't change anything just change me well yeah idk I'm sry for everything

I don't know anyone named "ann" who is a member of his overprotective family. Chris wreaks a path of destruction and pain wherever he goes, and this has not changed since his conviction. I implore the public to keep a watchful eye on him; his problems run more deeply and farther back than any addiction. A boy who throws his pets across the room and off of the roof grows into a man who pushes his mother down the stairs to escape justice and steals his dying grandmother's car to purchase more alcohol. I firmly believe in the innate goodness of mankind, but I also believe in the pervasive nature of severe mental illness and lack of conscience. Protect yourselves and report any behavior to his Probation Officer in Waukesha. Some people like this must be placed into custody or institutionalized for the safety of the public, the safety of their families, the safety of their son (in Chris' case,) and safety from themselves.

Michael, I am not a part of Chris' family. There were comments that were deleted. My goal in life is to protect people from Chris. I would love to talk to you!
