The GameStop Assault video is a short film clip captured by Tumblr user monozettai[1], in which Chris, sporting full Tomgirl regalia, throws away any pity points he may have earned among by breaking three separate laws in one visit to his local GameStop. Captured on 26 December 2014, the video[2] shows Chris loudly requesting that the store's employees not bother with calling anyone, presumably to have him forcefully ejected from the premises. Strutting confidently out of the store, Chris sprays a yet-unconfirmed substance into the eyes of an employee, who understandably reacts with an expression of both horror and confusion. Chris supposedly intended to deface a Sonic Boom display at the store; it is not clear whether or not he succeeded, or if the employees at the store recognized him as the Chris-chan they know and previously refused to tolerate - though it is claimed by monozettai that they did, and he refused to leave.
True to form, Chris is dressed like an intellectually disabled little girl - his outfit consists of novelty purple My Little Pony toy glasses, Manchester High hoodie, blue denim shorts, purple leggings, a hairband and what appear to be light-brown Ugg boots. Note that the ill-fitting Manchester High hoodie seems to be a firm favorite in Chris's tomgirl wardrobe, as it is also seen in the I Love You, Catherine video.
Video Background
After the video was discovered by the Christorians, many weens flooded monozettai's inbox with questions on his recollection of the event. This is what he had to say about the incident:
I was in Gamestop looking at the 3ds rack when I heard a racket from my left. I looked up and saw Chris surrounded by 3-4 employees in a corner (I recognized Chris’ voice before their appearance). A woman was telling Chris that they had been banned from the store and needed to leave, to which Chris responded with something like “Oh come ON, can’t we let bygones be bygones?” The employees ignored him and continued to tell him to leave and threatened to call security. Eventually they dispersed to do so, which is about when I began filming (I had been wondering whether or not I should, but I’d say only about 20 or so seconds had gone by between when I noticed and when I started filming).

Spray and Aftermath
According to a troll[4], the substance sprayed on the hapless employee was indeed mace, or a derivative thereof. A followup call from a 4chan troll[4] revealed that the employee will be pressing charges, in a development remarkably similar to the events of 28 October 2011. If the claims by the troll are indeed true, it is likely that Chris will be facing severe legal penalties, as his crime was technically malicious assault, as well as the laws he broke by not only refusing to leave a premise he was banned from but quite possibly also vandalism of their merchandise.

Chris: Don't call anybody!
[Chris struts confidently out of the store. Unintelligible background noise from other customers can be heard, and a family at the counter can be seen in shock at the horror they've just witnessed.]
[Chris sprays a yellow-shirted employee with mace, who recoils in self-defense.]
Employee: Whoa! Hey! [mouths "what the fuck"]
