I woke up this morning to the news Christina Grimmie had been shot at a post-show meet and greet. The Orlando police later announced Christina had died, she was 22. Just let that sink in, 22. For those who don’t know, Christina was a singer who rose to fame posting her videos on youtube. She inspired a generation of youtubers and gained huge numbers of fans; or as she called them – frands. I have watched her videos for the past 5 videos, she was such a talented person.
This is a life cut short because of lack of gun control. Now America, I love you, I have had so many experiences with so many Americans and they have been absolutely wonderful. BUT like anywhere, there are bad people and people who need help. These are not the only people who don’t need a gun, no one does. In the past when I’ve asked so why do some Americans believe they have the right to bare arms? They say protection. From what? Other people with guns. Why not just not have guns all round? Honestly, it breaks my heart that you even try to defend guns. They are evil. There are people who don’t understand the concept of death and how final it is. Like someone dies, that’s it – you’ll never see them again, you’ll never be able to talk to them again, you’ll never hear their voice, you’ll never know what they would have done with their life.
Christina was not just a fantastic singer but also a genuine, loving and caring person who was bold and would be her in front of the camera. You just go watch any video of her and you just knows she’s the real deal, so genuine. She died doing what she loved; performing for her fans and meeting them. It makes me so incredibly angry that this sort of thing can happen.
America, I’m angry this keeps happening, please make a push for better gun control.
