I'm curious as to why we haven't seen any pictures of the dead AntiFA demonstrator in all of AntiFA regalia..
Or why don't we know how much she was being paid for being there?

Exactly, pretty sure she wasn't antifa. Was one of the "normals". Lots of liberal minded folks were there, just caught up in the meat grinder between the to hate groups. In fact, antifa counts on such "civilian" casualties for maximum press and chaos. And if they were being honest, they would tell you that this death was a gift to them. A young attractive woman killed by the pasty white evil fascist.
That's what I concluded too. There were plenty of people there that were not "members" of any of the extremist groups involved. I'm sure at least some were simply "spectators" even.
Can't get hurt at a riot that you don't attend.
True. However...I managed to get trapped in the middle of a riot once, simply because it started all over the city and generally everywhere between where I was and where my hotel was, on the opposite side of town. Chit can happen.. First time I ever saw water cannons used..up close and almost too personal.
We need more water canons and fewer tacticool teams and armored vehicles.

I've been calling for the return of water cannons for a year but after having time to think about it I believe Gasoline cannons would be far better.
I believe our departments (pretty much) can be trusted to use them responsibly, but most mayors would never give the deployment order.
I'll bet most of the "normals" had no idea that the radicals were going to turn it into a riot. Still trying to track down meme claiming that Antifa folks went arm to arm forming a human chain to protect some clergy from rampaging Nazis. There's a cool pic of our intrepid black clad heroes standing resolute in front of folks in clerical garb. but that shot doesn't show any actual Nazis. And the accompanying video just shows the Nazis marching down the street and encountering antifa and a brawl happening, but no clergy I can identify. the worst offender of misleading memes seems to be some outfit called Unicorn Riot, I think.
How do you know she was part of that group? Reading about her, I have seen no indication that she was.
So she was a local? From Charlottesville, just an innocent bystander that got caught up in the movement?
I also see where the press states she was "just crossing the street" but in the video nobody was just crossing the street, they were marching down the middle of the street.
Just because she was there, doesn't mean she was affiliated with any certain group. You do a good job of ASSuming though... Carry on...
The media seems to be attempting to keep the connection quiet by not mentioning it at all.. and of course more pictures of a much younger, more innocent victim.
It's mentioned a few places where she was there protesting, and counter protesting as part of the AntiFA group, but no mention of her affiliation in any MSM piece.
