Heather was the resistance, she was a TRUE patriot. Rest in paradise. You fought, and we will keeping fighting like you're right here w/ us. http://pic.twitter.com/KNK0GA3enr— Margaret Cho (@margaretcho) August 13, 2017
I don't think that too many people set out to be a martyr.Heather Heyer is her name. She was 32 years old. She was murdered on Saturday, August 12th in Charlottesville, VA. May she rest in peace. http://pic.twitter.com/q8Fo4YdPiV— Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) August 13, 2017
I certainly believe that Heather Heyer expected to return home to her family after she spent the afternoon standing up for the rights of others.
However she did not get to return home, and it was those who have no respect for the rights of others who took her life.
Her mother would like her legacy to be about the fight for justice.
Courtesy of HuffPo:
Heather Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, told HuffPost that her daughter attended Saturday’s rally because she “was about bringing an end to injustice.”
“Heather was not about hate, Heather was about stopping hatred,” Bro said through tears. “Heather was about bringing an end to injustice. I don’t want her death to be a focus for more hatred, I want her death to be a rallying cry for justice and equality and fairness and compassion.”
Keep in mind that the man driving that car which took her Heather Heyer's life was not the only alt-right protester willing to resort to acts of terrorism.
Trump's NSA adviser. H.R. McMaster was willing to call these acts "terrorism" on the Sunday Talk shows today, but so far our commander-in-chief has refused to do the same.Read the story of Deandre Harris, the Charlottesville boy violently attacked by a mob of white supremacists. https://t.co/f6FhvlpXOr http://pic.twitter.com/lD97LuVF8j— Matt McDermott (@mattmfm) August 13, 2017
But WE know terrorism when we see it.
And we know that it is not indicated by the religion which you follow, or the color of your skin, but rather the darkness in your heart.
