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.

Yea really, he was a district manager and she was a paralegal, but she felt sorry for him? She should have just become the janitor, maybe that would make her feel better. Well, I guess I shouldn’t make fun of the dead. I’m sure everyone is judged equally in the next life, based on their deeds.
John Donne said every man’s death diminished him. I don’t agree. The loss of a SJW is a win for everyone. They can’t be reasoned with and they can’t be bargained with. They never quit trying to force everyone into their Marxist mold. To hell with her and her ilk.
A lot of people hate juice. I don’t get it.
And the black man was a district manager and she was just a paralegal.
And if she had not attacked the back of that auto she would still be alive. Oh, the irony. She didn’t read the hood ornament. “Dodge”.
She was so fat she used Google Earth to take selfies.
Years ago when I became interested in collecting precious metals among other things, I got on some related forums. I was surprised at how many Jew haters there were, blaming them for all society’s financial ills.
Really.
Ahh, Glenn Beck.
LOL
...strong sense of social justice....
That and her magic Shield forged with Virtue were not enough to protect her.
Ya think they could read history.
Rachel Corrie thought she could stop a bulldozer and not get hurt
I thought Heyer was an innocent citizen just crossing the street when the 20 year old drove over her.. That is what the Police chief said. Course now we learn the the police were afraid to go in to stop the fighting and restore peace..
She was chasing the dodge right before it backed up. She had a baton of some kind in her hand. You might say she was armed. She got right up to the back of the dodge to take a few wacks at it I guess, then the guy floors it in reverse, and she gets pinned between the dodge and the side black truck as it was side swiped. I think that’s when she got killed. If you don’t want to get killed, then don’t attend riots. Wept for social justice my eye. I think I’ll save my sympathy for now. Jackasses.
This Rooters article is supposed to be a tear-joker, but it comes across as maudlin, even mawkish.
These people are so transparent.
Does she have a husband or wife? Or children?
She was a Bernie supporter.
Snap judgments easily come unfastened.
I doubt she was an original. She probably was following around with a crowd, as I suspect you are, only with a different crowd.
I fear to stick my finger in God’s eye like you do.
A line of marchers? Or a mob of violent communists wielding weapons and attacking the cars on the road? Were the roads blocked off for the peaceful weapon wielding line of marchers?
Why was the driver on that one way street? Had he been parked there? Did his GPS send him down the road?
And yet... If she whacked a car that was less bad than whacking its driver. However it looks like her passion did in her reason.
First Trump, now this—young white people, fine southern patriots standing up to Antifa anarchists and BLM communists!
But the best is yet to come: in about a week we white people plan to actually blot out the sun during the middle of the day for about an hour—just to show we can.
For what it’s worth, I’ve seen bizarre behavior from GPS based driver guides. In Kansas City, Google Maps sent me more than once on an unasked for visit to a side neighborhood. A careless finger dab on a screen can change a route to a side track and still the destination seems the same.
