    I remember her death caused a lot of changes in how influencer/internet stars security changed. It used to be kinda odd for serious security protocols to be put in place for anyone besides big celebrities. Meet and greets and fan events for youtubers used to be a lot more lax and carefree than what we see today. I also remember a bunch of youtubers stopping meet and greets or getting anxiety from them.

      Judging by the amount being charged 15$ per and there being like 500 to 700 people that's like 7,500$ to 9,000 roughly.
      After paying to rent the place out and paying promoters etc doesn't really leave a ton to pay for top notch security.

      From doing deeper research, the plaza where she performed had just been bought out by new owners and they didn't have security set up. Coincidentally Grimmie performed during that time. I still speculate she was set up. Someone hacked her Twitter the night she passed and posted "The End. " Police investigated the killers room and found that he wiped out his computer hard drives before driving to kill Christina and himself. I'll never get over it.

      I gather a big part of it is power. They see the victim as having power over themselves while the victim seems completely disconnected from them. Stalking and shooting both give you control over their state, they can't ignore you and their fate is dictated by your actions. It is a twisted 'taking my power back' thing.

She was everything 11 year old me wanted to be when I got older. Years passed and I slowly stopped watching her content as she got bigger, but I remember learning of her passing, and how it happened, and it was like someone had ripped that piece of 11 year old me away and spit on it. She was a pure side of content, a pure side of the music on TH-cam. She deserved nothing less than the most happy and peaceful life possible. I don't want to believe a crazed man could strip the world of something so kind.

She surely would have gone on to have a great career and help bring joy into many people's lives.

In his twisted mind he thought he would finally have her in an afterlife. He wanted total power and control over her. I bet anything he was also an incel.

      .....there was no crime.......Just for the record, there has never been one ounce of confirmed proof that this story of Grimmie getting killed was real. There are no public records for any 'Kevin Liobl', living OR deceased. A random driver's license photo with no further info on it is not proof. There are no other photos of this guy and there are no other indications that he ever existed. I also have reason to believe that this was another DHS exercise like the Pulse the following night. The mainstream media got out of the news reporting business decades ago and are now being used by lobbyist to produce propaganda for their agendas. That is why you can't believe what the media tells us now. They have been busted and debunked many, many times before for reporting false narratives. When you have far more questions about an event than media can answer, ..........chances are that it didn't take place like we were told.

    I've had this video on my "Watch Later" playlist for about a week now. I wanted to watch it, but also understood the possibility of PTSD. I was at that concert. I took my then fiance (now wife) and her little sister because I wanted to see her AND Before You Exit. I was the one who wanted to stay for the meet and greet. What's crazy is that I was trying to get both of them to stay, but after the concert, as is common, the line for the women's bathrooms were extremely long. So in frustration, I decided, fine, let's go to the store next door to use the bathroom. Then we heard the gunshots. I ran us out of there so quick and to the car. We went straight home. My work was worried about us, many of our friends knew we were there. My job allowed me to get counseling help, but to be honest, maybe I wasn't the one who needed it. My wife worked at Orlando Health and had to deal with the aftermath of the Pulse shootings a couple days later. It's crazy to think how long ago it was, but how vividly I remember everything. My now sister-in-law seems to be okay these days, my wife and I are good, but trauma, in any form, sticks with you. Christina did not deserve this. Nobody deserves this.

Watching her go bigger every year even making it to The Voice was amazing. It felt like watching your little sister grow up and reach her dreams.

      Reminds me of Shiloh and how the walking puss-filled-boil Onision completely derailed her career, right when it was REALLY taking off. Completely destroyed her mental health, and when he finally pushed her too far and she had a mental break, he stuck and camera in her face *humiliated* her at her lowest, most vulnerable point, and put it on the internet to exploit her for views.
      It seems like she has done a lot of work to get over all of his abuse and the very public aftermath. And she is working to rebuild her life and career again. But tbh imo her career will never be where it could have had she never had the misfortune of crossing that sentient loogie's path. Who knows how great and successful her life could have been by now if she kept on the track her music career was taking her!!!

    Parasocial relationships can be a scary thing and it's something everyone should be mindful of if you have a social media presence to any degree.

And within a day he had people DMing him his address to let him know they were able to find his apartment just from the look outside the window.
