I think it was an odd choice for her to wear black leather pants but she's always presented herself with some type of glamour.
So is the 'theory' here that this was a professional hit and the official story is completely false or that some type of online brainwashing/nudging took place?
Yes, I think the theories range from the entire thing is fake and a show for us (Charlie isn't even a real person), to Charlie was real and killed and nearly everyone around him is a fake person (therefore a professional-type killing), to most events and people being real but people are using a crisis for their gain with various levels of interior intent and ulterior motives behind that (include online nudging/brainwashing here), to every combination in between those options.
Everything in our news/online/media world that we consume has some level of production over it (the nature of it is designed for our consumption). It's very difficult at this point to determine what is real. We don't live in a world designed for authenticity. I very much doubt we will ever know everything that really happened. I do not think the official story is the whole story.
Regardless of Erika's interior intents she has now gained in public notoriety after Charlie's death (she's not the only one). We are here talking about her. We had no idea who she was before. I will say that Erika being so public facing like this is not natural for a woman, but I also concede that we do not live in a natural time.
