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.

I learned that as a kid in grade school. Maybe over the years I’ve replaced ‘union’ with ‘Republic’
I come from a family with both Northern and Southern lineage and current family. I’ve only felt uncomfortable with the accents.
Actually there were lots of all three types attending, pretending otherwise is just stoopid.
It was a stupid war. But America itself was going dunderheaded. Maybe God saw that states’ rights were being abused for iniquity, so in chastisement He declared that was enough. Today we have the opposite problem, a wicked Fedzilla.
The Unite The Right rally was crashed. The temptation was far too great, and UTR should have planned accordingly.
Ditto. Over acting makes all their weeping unbelievable.
72 cats — LOL
And keyhole vision.
God just happens to care about everybody not just the darlings du jour. If she wept about Muslims maybe she could have wept about what put them in their spot, and it wasn’t white people (except in the sense of wimpy evangelism).
Obviously you are misinformed. The hub is located in Colorado, not Kansas, as indicated by the location of the red dot on the map. Kansas is farther east...
I thought about that too.
What they did was blow up Kansas on the map, then mark Liberal on the blown up Kansas — putting it in New Mexico or thereabouts.
Johnson came in and everything went down hill from there. In terms of racial conflict, it has gotten worse every year. Before Johnson, black people were making steady progress. They never recovered from LBJ's cynical “compassion”.
Antifa: Brownshirts of the Antichrist in waiting.
God spare us from copious government “favors.”
So, she wanted to Ban Free Speech? Got it.
Help me do just what, chums?
Help me be your slave in golden shackles no thank you.
What an unusual permutation. Anti white and anti jew.
Great word.
Was she officially a member of the antifa?
A SJW working for a bankruptcy law firm. I would imagine a constant flood of tears. Do you cry for the poor fellow whose dreams were dashed when he had to file for bankruptcy, or the widows and orphans whose savings were depleted by the loss of an investment made by a foolish trustee?
Anti the things that probably most helped America be great. The bible mission of the Jews in exile never vanished. And there’s a lot of overlap between white and Christian in America. So much so that Christianity has gotten a reputation as a white faith. Actually it’s a redneck faith, where rednecks can come in many colors. We have a wimpy cross culture evangelization problem.
