Orlando

As many of you already know, it has not been a good week for Orlando.

First off, Christina Grimmie, a previous The Voice contestant, was shot to death by a deranged fan while doing a meet and greet with fans after her concert. The gunman then killed himself. It was found that the gunman was obsessed with Christina, and had tried to change his appearance via cosmetic enhancements to become her boyfriend.

He became enraged when he saw a picture of her and her producer together. But they were not dating, according to sources. This fan obviously suffered from hallucinations, maybe mixed with other mental health problems. As you may know that saying, if I can't have you then no one else can. The ultimate act? Murder-suicide.

Then on June 12, 2016, more tragedy struck. A gunman entered Pulse nightclub, a gay nightclub, and went on a shooting spree. 49 people were killed, 53 people suffered serious injuries. This incident has become the worst mass shooting in USA history. The gunman had held the rest of the nightclubbers hostage until about 5am, when the SWAT stormed the place. During the gunfight, the gunman was killed.

There are speculations that the gunman was secretly gay (even though he was already married with a kid), yet was offended when he saw two gay people kissing in public. They are still trying to figure out his motive.

On June 15, a two year old boy was enjoying vacation with his family in a lagoon near Disney's Walt Disney World hotel, when he was pulled into the waters by an alligator from the very same lagoon. The father tried to fight off the alligator to no avail. Tragically, the boy was dragged underwater and died from trauma to the body, along with drowning.

There are no signs about possible alligators lurking in the waters, however, the neighbouring hotel does have a warning sign about alligators. The only signs around the Disney hotels are "no swimming" signs, but nothing about potential alligators lurking nearby. Disney staff are aware of the alligators yet nothing was done about it. This is a huge blow to Disney's resorts.

Can you imagine bringing your young kids to the most magical place on earth, and then being attacked and eaten by an alligator lurking near the resort? How painful it must be for the parents.

It has been a terrible week for Orlando, Florida. Please keep them in your prayers, the victims, the families, and those who are recovering from these disasters. Stay strong Orlando.
