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.

“And how did that computer use on company time benefit the Miller Law Group?”
If it happens to be a left-wing law group, they could consider it a consciousness-raising exercise...no problemo! /s;)
She sounds almost non-functional. And really confused.
She sits in her office crying because people are mean? Then spends her weekend hanging around with Antifa and BLM as they violently crash a political rally? Sounds like she had no business being on the front line.
Where did you see that?
America itself has become an idiocracy. She’s only following the trend.
OK, I’ll bite. What is a Heeb?
State Department asset who was involved in KONY was there and quoted by the NYT’s, then a few hours later, his quote was scrubbed.
He has a strong Soros connection.
Jooz I guess.
For the 110th time, being a nationalist who objects to removal of confederate statues does not make you a white supremacist.
Antifa is anti-Jew? OK.
As a white woman, she thought it unfair that she enjoyed liberties that Wilson, as a black man, did not, he said.

Sounds like her brain was dead long before her body joined it.
sure as hell there are a lot of people carrying bats,now why is that if they are peaceful media?
Muslim does this and the talking points are it is not all muslims.
White guy does this through a crowd with bats shouting our streets with n o permit, and the talking points is that all Trump voters
Now she’s a hero like Rachel Corrie.
There’s a persistent meme that somehow Jews have conspired to run every atrocious thing on earth.
That’s silly and envy-based about a traditionally bookish people.
There is a mental disorder for the people in Antifa. They are white, so they hate themselves, or do not want to be dated.
They attack others who oppose their views, and close down freedom of speech, and then they state they are anti fascists when clearly they are the fascists.
