Victim in Virginia melee wept for social justice, her boss says

Heather Heyer came to downtown Charlottesville with her friends to make a stand against white nationalists who converged on the Virginia college town to demand the city keep a statue honoring a Confederate war hero, her boss said on Sunday.

The 32-year-old paralegal wanted to send a clear message to the neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan sympathizers who planned to stage one of the largest far-right rallies in recent U.S. history that people abhor their views in the city where she was born, he said.

But her decision to join counter-protesters on Saturday resulted in tragedy when a 20-year-old Ohio man drove his car at high speed into a line of marchers, killing Heyer and injuring at least 19 others.

A strong sense of social justice was a constant theme in Heyer's personal and working life, said Alfred Wilson, bankruptcy division manager at the Miller Law Group.

"There have been times that I've walked back to her office and she had tears in her eyes" for various injustices she saw in the world, said Wilson, such as the time she was weeping after reading anti-Muslim comments online, Wilson said.

Heyer was a supporter of Bernie Sanders, who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination won by Hillary Clinton, Wilson said.

As a white woman, she thought it unfair that she enjoyed liberties that Wilson, as a black man, did not, he said.

He was broken.

And how did that computer use on company time benefit the Miller Law Group?

She obviously wasn’t meant to live in our forced multi-culti society. In this world, you have to be a lot tougher.

A paralegal who didn’t want white people to have freedom of speech or freedom of association. Fabulous. How did that work out for you, Honey?

Really? There's already been a trial and he was convicted? That was quick!

I weep for an America where kids once walked to school without fear. That WAS social justice, unlike this thrash can we live in now thanks to Leftists.

Waiting for the day when the anti-hate hate groups and the SPLC discover our local Civil War MEMORIAL statue.

OH WAIT! THEY HAVE! In their fury they might even destroy our local WWI memorial.

Lock and load!
