<p>An online fundraiser for the family of Heather Heyer, who was killed in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday when a car plowed through a group of counterprotesters, <a href="http://buzz.blog.ajc.com/2017/08/13/fundraiser-for-family-of-charlottesville-victim-heather-heyer-nets-42k/" type="external">has raised nearly $225,000</a> -- exceeding by more than four times its original goal.</p> 
<p>Donations continue to pour into <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/our-sisters-keeper-heatherheyer" type="external">the GoFundMe account</a>.</p> 
<p>TRENDING NOW:</p> 
<p>&#8220;Heather Heyer was murdered while protesting against hate,&#8221; the GoFundMe account creator, Felicia Venita Correa, wrote in the account&#8217;s page description. &#8220;We are raising money to give to her family for anything that they may need. The family is aware of this and is in complete charge of when and where the funds will be released. She is a Greene County native and graduated from William Monroe High School. Her mother (whom I will not name until she is ready) said &#8220;She died doing what was right. My heart is broken, but I am forever proud of her. She will truly be missed.&#8221;</p>

<p>The banner image on Heyer&#8217;s Facebook page spoke of civic engagement:</p> 
<p>President Donald Trump addressed Heyer&#8217;s death via Twitter without naming her, writing: &#8220;Condolences to the family of the young woman killed today, and best regards to all of those injured, in Charlottesville, Virginia. So sad!&#8221;</p>

<p>Authorities arrested James Alex Fields, 20, of Ohio, and <a href="http://www.ajc.com/news/national/driver-car-that-plowed-into-crowd-protesting-white-nationalists-identified/ERteAyGOI0wQwXlm1dmxKP/" type="external">charged him with second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of failing to stop at an accident that resulted in a death.</a></p> 
<p><a href="https://apnews.com/12de1cb47897443384cc36d8621c3cf7" type="external">The Associated Press reported</a> three other arrests stemming from Saturday&#8217;s chaos in Charlottesville, where people protesting the removal of a statue of Gen.

<p>In a statement on Saturday, Trump blamed &#8220;many sides&#8221; for inciting the violence -- an equivocation that&#8217;s drawn criticism from across the political spectrum. Here are comments from Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, who was once Trump&#8217;s rival for the presidential nomination, and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder:</p> 
<q> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump" type="external">@realDonaldTrump</a>, thanks, at long last, for condemning hate in speech and action. Our work here is just beginning. Yours is too.</p> &#8212; Mike Signer (@MikeSigner) <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeSigner/status/896422677648474113" type="external">August 12, 2017</a> </q> 
<q> <p>Very important for the nation to hear <a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS" type="external">@potus</a> describe events in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Charlottesville?src=hash" type="external">#Charlottesville</a> for what they are, a terror attack by <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/whitesupremacists?src=hash" type="external">#whitesupremacists</a></p> &#8212; Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) <a href="https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/896483980857532416" type="external">August 12, 2017</a> </q> 
<q> <p>If ISIS rammed a car into a crowd this would be labeled quickly &amp;amp; logically. Charlottesville - call it what it is, domestic terrorism.</p> &#8212; Eric Holder (@EricHolder) <a href="https://twitter.com/EricHolder/status/896564288604839937" type="external">August 13, 2017</a> </q> 
<p>&#8220;We agreed that the hate and the division must stop, and must stop right now,&#8221; Trump said during remarks issued from his New Jersey resort. &#8220;We have to come together as Americans with love for our nation and true affection for each other,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. It&#8217;s been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump. Not Barack Obama. It&#8217;s been going on for a long, long time.&#8221;</p> 
<p>He also called for a swift return of law and order. Here are some excerpts from the statement, posted on Trump&#8217;s Twitter feed:</p> 
<q> <p>We must remember this truth: No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are ALL AMERICANS FIRST. <a href="https://t.co/FesMiQSKKn" type="external">pic.twitter.com/FesMiQSKKn</a></p> &#8212; Donald J.

<q> <p>What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Charlottesville?src=hash" type="external">#Charlottesville</a> <a href="https://t.co/DB22fgnu6L" type="external">pic.twitter.com/DB22fgnu6L</a></p> &#8212; Donald J.
