Christina Grimmie
22-year-old You Tube star, Christina Grimmie, who placed
third on the 2014 edition of the television talent show "The
Voice" was shot and killed in Orlando, Florida, while
signing autographs for fans outside The Plaza theatre. The
talented singer/pianist Grimmie and the boyband Before You
Exit, held a concert at the venue, but trouble erupted at
the meet and greet after the show.
A man opened fire on Grimmie as she signed autographs,
shooting her in the head, then fatally turning the gun on
himself, after the singer's brother tackled him. Grimmie was
rushed to hospital and listed in critical condition.
However, shortly after Grimmie was declared dead. This is so
tragic and sad. She was someone's child. To die at 22-years
old and in an act of violence, when all she wanted to do was
sing, is terrible. He had no right to take her life away
from her.
Ironically, Grimmie did a version of David Guetta's
"Titanium" repeatedly singing the lyric "Shoot me down, but
I won't fall." To most who've heard the song, it is just
lyrics. However, to a crazed stalker, it's an invitation to
do the unthinkable. Where normal people see, read and hear
one thing, a lunatic interprets it completely differently
and destructively. Stalkers imagine hidden meanings in words
and statements that aren't there.
Stalking is a serious crime. It denotes serious mental
illness. The sad fact of the matter is a number of stalkers
resort to acts of violence against innocent victims, who
have done them no harm. However, stalkers build up insane
scenarios in their heads of imagine invitations, offenses,
slights or provocations that simply never occurred.
