3. yes!

[Generic Other]

4. I love this idea

Hope they consider it. Is there somewhere we could all write?

[Catmusicfan]

6. I don't know. I just thought it would be the right thing to do.

[Generic Other]

25. An excellent idea

Of course, Charlottesville officials probably being hammered. Can we post your idea to Twitter?

[Catmusicfan]

27. Please do.

[NightWatcher]

5. And when trump is driven from office, Heather Heyer Day

We wear purple and celebrate defeating nazism again.

[Liberty Belle]

7. I hope you will send an editorial to Charlottesville's newspaper and suggest this,

And also send it to the Governor and the head of both parties in their statehouse. This could and should happen.

[Catmusicfan]

8. Please feel free to do that. I am not good at that type of stuff.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Yes, but only AFTER Lee's statue is removed. . . . nt

10. It was just renamed Emancipation Park this June,

so they probably aren't inclined to rename it again. However, there should be some kind of memorial to Heather in the park - maybe in place of the Lee statue.

11. Good idea

[LostOne4Ever]

12. THIS X 10000000000000000000000000 nt

[Warren DeMontague]

13. I agree.

A memorial would be appropriate.

[fleabiscuit]

15. Made from the melt of the Lee statue. nt

[flibbitygiblets]

22. Yes, a memorial to Heather would be most appropriate.

26. Maybe a modified peace pole?

I hope someone closer to the area will write the newspaper.

14. And a statue

Of her and her dog hugging.

[Catmusicfan]

17. Hearing what I have heard. I think she wouldn't think she was worthy of such a think.

An alternative statue. A pair of open hands holding a dove with a laurel branch in its beak. Around the park purple flowers.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. And don't forget the troopers who were killed.

[Bladewire]

19. Who killed the troopers?

[shanny]

20. No one killed them

But two troopers died that day in a chopper crash while monitoring the demonstration.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. They were killed in a helicopter crash while monitoring the Nazi rally.

It was apparently an accident but it wouldn't have happened if their observation of the rally hadn't been necessary. I don't think they should be forgotten. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/virginia-state-troopers-killed-in-helicopter-crash-monitoring-charlottesville-clash/2017/08/13/56649702-803d-11e7-b359-15a3617c767b_story.html?utm_term=.78c815e2cbbd

[raven mad]

23. They were doing helicopter surveys of the idiots holding the rally.

The helicopter crashed - and they wouldn't have been in it except for the Supremacist/KKK/Nazi assholes.

[Gore1FL]

24. Not so much a who, but a what.

Their helicopter crashed.
