Notes

John Rhodes Penley (DOB: 05/03/52) attended the Charlottesville Unite the Right counter-protest. He's described as a former East Village (NYC) activist and anarcho photo-journalist. He was quoted in an interview as saying, "I got run over by a herd of f—ing Nazis,” he said, “and I got a big cut on my knee. And I got teargassed and pepper-sprayed a bit." He did admit the violence was encouraged by Antifa members. He previously protested the 2016 Republican convention in Cleveland. Penley was active in Occupy Wall Street in the early 2010s and probably in the AIDS movement in the '80s. Penley grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, a hotbed of radicalism, but was a New York resident at the time of Unite the Right. He moved back to Asheville after the rally but his sister evicted him from the family house and he moved to an apartment in Vegas in 2020. https://archive.ph/hFKPW, https://archive.ph/jvxbj, https://archive.ph/TbsdX https://mediahipradio.com/eyewitness-account-of-charlottesville-nazi-march-by-anarcho-photojournalist-john-penley/
