Grimmie Killed; Killer Identified



Breaking News: The killer has been identified. See below.

Singer Christina Grimmie, 22, who gained fame as a contestant on television singing contest The Voice, was hit by three shots at a concert in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, June 10, and died on June 11, 2016. She was fired upon as she was signing autographs.


Christ-like, Christina Victoria Grimmie, appears in concert.

At the June 10, 2016, the group Before You Exit flashed the devil horns and projected their signature symbol, as Grimmie sang. According to the Before You Exit website, their "band’s name [was] inspired by the sentiment 'make a difference before you exit.'" It also uses the phrase, "many short lived...artists."


Striking an Illuminati All-Seeing-Eye pose, Grimmie presented her new hair style before going on concert with Before You Exit.

Grimmie was an American singer and songwriter, best known for participating in The Voice and for her covers of hit songs by contemporary pop musicians. In June 2011, she released her debut EP, Find Me.

Grimmie was signing autographs with band members of Before You Exit, with whom she performed earlier, when a gunman approached and opened fire (three shots were reported) before her brother tackled him at the Plaza Live music venue. The Orlando Police Department said her brother's action saved others' lives.

The suspect (as yet unidentified) then turned the gun on himself and died by suicide. The suspect is a 21-year-old white male from another Florida city (not Orlando).

Grimmie placed third during the 2014 season of the The Voice, a singing competition on NBC.

Her full name was Christina Victoria Grimmie (March 12, 1994 – June 11, 2016).

The name Christina is a Latin name, meaning "Follower of Christ." She had told reporters previously she was a Christian.

Victoria, you will recall as noted in my recent "Nervous Nick" posting, is aligned with the origins of Nicholas, via Nike. The mythological Nike was a Greek goddess of victory and root origin of Nicholas. The Roman equivalent was Victoria.  Therefore, the meaning and forms are related. Victoria is the Latin word for "victory" or "conquer" and is used as the feminine form corresponding to the name Victor. In Roman mythology, Victoria was the name of the goddess of victory, corresponding directly to the Greek goddess Nike.

Grimmie is a variant of the name Grimm and Grimme.

Of some fame in popular culture currently, Grimm is an American police procedural fantasy television drama series, according to Wikipedia. It debuted in the U.S. on NBC on October 28, 2011. The plots involve homicide investigator Nick Burkhardt of the Portland (Oregon) Police Department who learns he is descended from a line of guardians known as Grimms, charged with keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world called Wesen, the German word for being or creature. Throughout the series, he must battle against an assortment of dangerous creatures, with help from his Wesen friend, Monroe, and his partner, Detective Hank Griffin.

Wesen (German, "a being" or "creature") is a collective term used to describe the creatures visible to the Grimms. They are the basis not only of the fairy tales that the Brothers Grimm have compiled, but also of the many legends and folklore from many cultures (i.e. Anubis, Aswang, Chupacabra, and Wendigo).

Grimme
is a Medieval English patronymic name which translates as "the son of Grimm" (petit Grimm) but which originally derives from the Norse-Viking pre 8th Century "Grimr" a personal name meaning "The Fierce One". Perhaps not surprisingly the name was equally popular with the Normans after the 1066 invasion which may account for the surname survival as Grimme, Grime, Grimes, Grimmer, Grimm etc.. In Medieval times it became regarded as a nickname for one of a fierce appearance and was considered highly complimentary. Amongst the sample recordings of London are the christenings of Elizabeth Grimmett on August 14th 1672 at St. Andrew Holborn, and Henry Grimmett on March 11th 1714 at St. Peter's, Cornhill. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger Grymet, (witness), which was dated 1251, in the "Yorkshire Assize Courts," Yorkshire, during the reign of King Edward III, known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377.

Was Grimmie's killer, a Wesen?

UPDATE
Saturday afternoon, June 11, 2016, the Orlando Police identified the gunman who shot Christina Grimmie as 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl.



The name Loibl is German (Bavarian) from a pet form of the personal name Leopold (As per Leopold). Leopold is from the French (Léopold), German, and Dutch, from a Germanic personal name, Luitpold, composed of the elements liut “people" + bald “bold," “brave." The form of the first element has been influenced by Leonard. The surname is also borne by Ashkenazic Jews, in which case it is an adoption of the German forename as a surname. Leonard is English and French (Léonard), from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements leo “lion" (a late addition to the vocabulary of Germanic name elements, taken from Latin) + hard “hardy," “brave," “strong," which was taken to England by the Normans.

Lean On
Major Lazer, DJ Snake 

you recall, not long ago
We would walk on the sidewalk
Innocent, remember?
All we did was care for each other

But the night was warm
We were bold and young
All around the wind blows
We would only hold on to let go

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

What will we do when we get old?
Will we walk down the same road?
Will you be there by my side?
Standing strong as the waves roll over

When the nights are long
Longing for you to come home
All around the wind blows
We would only hold on to let go

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

All we need is somebody to lean on
All we need is somebody to lean on
Lean on, lean on, lean on, lean on...

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

Note sync that Lean On was posted by Grimmie exactly a year before she died.

Very sad to lose someone so young and talented.
The Plaza Live on BUMBY Avenue.

As per http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Bumby : The English name origin Bumby and its variations come from Viking settlements on the east side of England. The ending -by (-bi) refers to farm.

In a combination of BUMBY and GRIMES (GRIMMIE) I found on Urban Dictionary
the word BUMBYGRIMES. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bumbygrimes

Bumbygrimes a misspelling for bumpygrimes, which is "An adjective on GameFAQ meaning ultra conservative or anti-liberal".

The location was near a DRUID LAKE.

Her YouTube channel is called zeldaxlove64.
The Legend of Zelda is the title of a highly anticipated videogame scheduled for release in 2017 for the new Nintendo console.
The game centres around the triforce, a 9-fold (three triangles) symbol of power and knowledge.

Zelda is resonant with a lot of medieval and fascist-type symbolism, so the release-date next year may coincide with some Islamist or neo-Nazi activity, and this may be a foreshadowing of that.

The victim Christina Victoria Grimmie was an air-type female. Female or androgynous air-types count among them the majority of great composers and talented musicians.
The killer Kevin James Loibl was a negative earth-type, the type most susceptible to schizophrenic psychopathic influences, as also was e.g. James Holmes.
The motive is not clear, as he reportedly had no connection to the singer. He may have been under the compelling influence of the same cultural wave that is leading up to next November or whenever it is that the new Zelda game is released.

Other strange recent events:
The "yoga twins" Ann & Alison Dadow went off a cliff on highway 360, the Hana Highway, in Hawaii. The passenger was seen pulling the hair of the driver. The passenger died, the driver survived.

A man named Colin Nathaniel Scott of Portland, Oregon accidentally fell into a 300º F, 3.5 pH geyser in Yellowstone National Park. His corpse was considered "futile to recover", as in a matter of hours the acid and heat would have cooked away all his flesh.

Someone or maybe a collective are on a highway to hell.

Note the similarity of the weird violet alchemical symbol to the purple alchemical symbol used as a name by Prince, who died earlier this year on 21 April 2016.

Is that the elven Evenstar necklace from Lord of the Rings that she is wearing in the picture with blue in her hair? A symbol of immortality...

ThereseTaylor said...

Good catch Matthew. That violet was Prince's signature colour.

There has been indeed a wave a macabre tragedies, and now this mass shooting in Orlando.

Orlando was the title of a novel by Virginia Woolf - different to her usual style, surreal and imaginative - which was a surprisingly big hit in the 1930s. The plot of Orlando is about a man who lives for centuries and changes sex. Interesting considering the sudden prominence of transsexulaism as a current meme.

Niagara Falls were turned purple in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday on 21 April 2016, the day that Prince died. Will Elizabeth II die on 30 June 2016?
