Chris McCandles was a very unique young man. His morals and general ways of doing things were not mainstream. Almost to the point where he would seem almost crazy in a sense.

His parents corrupted his mind and made him think differently about society and what it has become. I don’t believe he was necessarily crazy, but he definitely was not normal. He also just generally makes poor decisions in my opinion.
