Jenkins
beating each other up,
both thinking the other
was Antifa.
cont’d from pg 6
DLJ: Oh, we most cer-
tainly did. We knew
months in advance it
could be this bad, espe-
cially if left unchecked.
There’s a podcast called
“Lighting the Lamp” that
is produced by one of
our members. Before the
rally even happened, the
show was calling it the
“White Nationalists’ Al-
tamont” [a reference to
the Rolling Stones’ 1969
concert in California
where a young Black man
was stabbed to death by a
member of the Hell’s An-
gels gang which had been
hired to provide security
during the outdoor mu-
sic festival.] And that’s
exactly what it was. Our
sister website, Restoring
the Honor (http://restor-
ingthehonor.blogspot.
com/), was also detailing
what was going to take
place prior to the day.
Basically the reason why
we had to be there was
because the Nazis had
been harassing Char-
lottesvile for months,
ever since the town had
wanted to remove the
Confederate memorials
from their parks. By this
time, the city had already
renamed the parks from
the Confederate generals
they were honoring, Rob-
ert E. Lee and Stonewall
Jackson. First, the Nazis
had a rally in May, then
the Klan came out in July,
and now this one which
they planned to be a huge
gathering of pretty much
every neo-Nazi, Klans-
men and assorted hate-
mongers they could fi nd.
KW: Were you con-
cerned about for your
safety, given the number
of Nazis, Fascists, Ku
Klux Klansmen and oth-
er racists descending on
the city?
DLJ: Well, we are al-
ways concerned about
that, whether there are
500 of them or fi ve. This
time however, the gover-
nor of Virginia did put
the National Guard on
standby. When we heard
that, we realized that it
was going to be very dif-
ferent than past rallies.
So we just prepared.
KW: Were you at the
church on Friday night
when the Nazis showed
up outside. I heard Cor-
nel West say in an inter-
view that if it weren’t for
the Anti-Fascists they
would never have been
able to leave.
DLJ: Me and the crew
I came with were not
there. We were still on
our way down as the
Nazis pulled that stunt.
Longtime anti-racist activist and journalist Daryle Lamont Jenkins talked to Kam Williams in the aftermath
of violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Jenkins, who was on the ground the weekend of the Unite the Right
protest, off ered his thoughts on President Trump’s comments equating the behavior of White nationalist
demonstrators with anti-fascist organizers and discussed his work in the anti-fascist movement.
What I did see was Na-
zis at the rally get phys-
ical with the interfaith
contingent of the count-
er-demonstration as they
walked up the stairs to
the park. Antifa respond-
ed to that one and put an
end to that, but that was
one of the many episodes
of confrontations.
KW: Were you armed?
How do you respond to
President Trump’s equat-
ing the racist demonstra-
tors and the anti-fascist
counter-demonstrators
by saying both sides were
equally at fault.
DLJ: I was armed. I had
my sidearm with me, as
[did] a number of Antifa.
Happily, no one on either
side felt the need to use
[weapons], because I can
only imagine how things
would be if anyone did.
Quite frankly, I think the
fi rst person that started
shooting in that environ-
ment, regardless of what
side they were on, would
have found themselves in
the worst position they
could have ever been in
their life because every-
thing would have come
crashing down on them.
So, even though each side
had fi rearms, using them
was not the fi rst inclina-
tion, regardless of how
bad things eventually
got.
KW: How did you feel
when you saw the long
line of White suprema-
cists with torches?
DLJ: Well, that was also
part of their fi rst out-
ing back in May. While
I know that might be a
jarring image for a lot of
people to see for the fi rst
time, I have been doing
this too long for it to faze
me. I just saw it as a rath-
er corny display.
KW: What sort of ha-
rassment did you expe-
rience from the White
supremacists in Charlot-
tesville?
DLJ: Most of them were
verbal, but there were
some that got physical,
particularly when I was
trying to help someone
else they had attacked.
That got me in a position
where I got hit in the face
with pepper spray, and
that put me out of com-
mission for a while, and
I missed when the gov-
ernor declared a state of
emergency, and the po-
lice declared the rally an
unlawful assembly and
shut the park down.
KW: Do you blame the
police pullback for what
happened on Saturday
when the car plowed
through
the
count-
er-demonstration?
DLJ: The police have
some explaining to do
for sure, but the blame
falls squarely on the
neo-Nazis that held the
rally. They were the ones
pushing for a fi ght. They
were the ones that came
with the armament, the
shields and automatic
weapons. They were the
ones that initiated fi ghts.
As I told a news outlet
that interviewed me
on the scene, there will
have to be a reckoning
for them regarding what
they did.
KW: What sort of con-
frontations did you wit-
ness?
DLJ: It was really a lot
of random swinging,
groups of people basical-
ly taking their shots at
each other. At one point,
some Nazis were even so
confused they ended up

KW: Were you in the vi-
cinity when that monster
drove the car into the
marchers, killing Heath-
er Heyer, and injuring so
many others?
DLJ: I was at one of the
churches where my car
was parked, trying to get
a clean shirt and sharing
some food and bottled
water I had in a cooler
for the trip. I didn’t see
the incident, but I saw
the ambulances driving
by. I heard that people
were hurt and that they
were worried that some
would not make it. When
I heard someone died,
I kept asking people if
they were sure, because
I didn’t want an unsub-
stantiated rumor like
that to go out without
being confi rmed. Sadly,
it was. I was heated from
that point on. Normally, I
can make light of events
like this, fi nd something
to keep my spirits up
about us being out there
opposing the fascists. But
I could not do that aft er
hearing about Heather
Heyer’s murder. I was
angry as hell about it.
