USA Sen. Bernie Sanders: Heather Heyer (of Charlottesville, Virginia) sacrificed her life in the fight for social and racial justice (against White Supremacy and Neo Nazism)
From USA Senator Bernie Sanders' Facebook post, https://www.facebook.com/senatorsanders/posts/10156231562862908, dated 13th Aug. 2017:
Our condolences go out to the family of Heather D. Heyer who was killed by a terrorist in Charlottesville, Virginia as she protested Neo-Nazism and white supremacy. Heather sacrificed her life in the fight for social and racial justice. She will not be forgotten. The best way for us to truly honor her memory is to make sure that, every day, we continue that struggle. Together, we will create a nation free of hatred, free of racism, free of sexism, free of homophobia, free of xenophobia.

Ravi: From what the article states, I find Ms Heyer to be an inspiring figure and I am awed at the courageous response of her mother, Ms. Susan Bro.

"I fully support USA Senator Bernie Sanders on this.
I pray to Almighty God to shower His Grace on the soul of Heather Heyer and give strength and courage to her family and friends to bear this sudden and tragic loss."

On Sen. Sanders FB post I additionally wrote: "[BTW I am an Indian living in India who is a well-wisher of the USA.]"
