It might be. But I think it more likely that he's so invested in being Andy's protector that he just doesn't think first.
Actually that's exactly what happens. Andy screams like a child because people find his behavior repugnant and remove him from their social groups.
Chris should, at this point, ask these people politely if they would share their experiences with him to figure out where Andy went wrong. (And back off immediately if people say they really don't want to go into it.)
Instead, he rushes in like a white knight to attack the very people Andy was an asshole to.
Then realizes he's in way over his head and backpedals hard.
Chris, if you're reading this, you aren't trained to handle this kind of thing. Andy needs an actual therapist to help him get better. Your blustery way of handling his detractors is coddling his behavior. Quit it.
