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.

LOL. I’d like to see the Antifa come into this county when they are on their “purge” of whites. Those kiddies don’t have a clue of what they are up against. Like the commerical says “roaches check in but they don’t check out”. Once they leave their urban termite hives, they are out of their realm.
Racists are color blind.
Facepalm.
OK, now there’s two vehicle incidents?
Looks in fact like my “Rednecks built America” (subtext: rednecks come in many colors) is the anti-Antifa.
Well, if it’s any consolation she will still be voting democrat forever anyway.
Grooooooooooan!
Derogatory term for Jewish people. From the word, Hebrew.
A delicate flower too pure for this rotted world. Sniff.
Where do you people get this crap?
Looks like we got ourselves another Rachel Corrie. Well, peace be upon her. May she get 72 cats in the afterlife.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Deeply misguided soul.
Thank you .
“You people”
Really?
Actually, I heard it discussed on Beck with David Barton, back in the days I watched Beck (some years ago now). It stuck with me because of Lincoln’s phrase, “I had to destroy the Republic to save it.” That sentence has always unnerved me.
“A strong sense of social justice was a constant theme in Heyer’s personal and working life, “
I have a strong sense of “social justice” too. Like a speeding car up a narrow street filled with democrat scum.
Like she wouldn’t weep about all the people that Islam has crushed? We’ve got better jobs for weepers than what she was weeping about.
One fool deserves another huh?
Ironically, both sides at the Battle of C-ville have a profound dislike for police and persons of the Jewish persuasion.
It is chilling
The older I get the more I envy my mother’s 1950’s housewife existence...although she didn’t.
I doubt she had the same anxieties I’ve had by trying to “have it all.”
It would unnerve me too - if he had ever uttered it.
