All the conspiracy theorizing is silly, imo. This is just another shot fired in the long history of American assassination. Charlie Kirk should be proud. The is the America he asked for. And this may be the beginning of a very violent period in American politics.

I said girls loved Harry Potter and LOTR. Girls forced me to perform the Harry Potter theme in band class because I was the only one good enough to play it! And its wasn't my friends. It was the entire class.

I was alive in that time and girls did not like those books, at all (of course WOMEN may be a different story). They liked Harry Potter, and LOTR after the movies came out because Orlando Bloom.
