"If you're not outraged you're not paying attention."
This quote spoke to me because it was in general, not just for heather. Many people have died in vain from acts of hate and envy. Many people of all ages have lost their lives in hate crimes whether that was by another citizen or by police. Everyone should be outraged by the acts of hate and Terrorism that have taken place around the country in the last few years. Its time to speak up and put our foot down.

"Heather said, I want to go so badly but I don't want to get shot. I don't want to die," Jackson said.
It seems as though to a certain extent some people predict their deaths or their deaths become ironic. I have lost a few friends over the last few years and it seemed as though all their deaths were Ironic in a certain way. My one friend died in a motorcycle accident, earlier that day she posted "last ride today" on snapchat. My other friend died in a lake from drowning, earlier that day he posted a picture on Instagram and the caption said " today is a beautiful day to be alive". It seems as though a lot of people have done or said something very ironic right before their deaths like heather.

People fly into the air as a vehicle drives into a group of protesters demonstrating against a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., Saturday, Aug. 12, 2017.
This picture made me very upset. Pictures may capture moments that the media want to show to the world but then you have to question the man behind the camera. This cameraman took a picture of people being hit by a speeding car. Did he help afterwards or did he go and get his picture published to CNN? The media can sometimes see the world as a canvas and forget that real people are their muse.

we didn't want neo-Nazis and alt-right and racists to come into our city and think they could spread freely their hate, and their bigotry and their racism. We wanted to let them know that we were about love, that we were would overpower them ...
This section made me happy to read because they are taking control of their city when no one else will. They will not allow racism or bigotry to be open and free. They were fighting hate with love and that is how you win the battle.
