Andrew Boyle, Rot in Hell!

A onetime member of Keystone State “Skinheads” who once thought he was going to fight DLJ outside a GBH show. 39 years of Nazi worthlessness just came to an end.

Andrew Boyle, a onetime member of the neo-Nazi Keystone State “Skinheads” who had his share of run-ins with law enforcement, including when he along with others assaulted someone from within their circles, has died of an apparent suicide. He was 39.

According to online obituaries and reports, Boyle died May 27, with friends and family posting on social media about how he had taken his own life. At the time of his death he was living in New Jersey. Among those posting tributes in a guestbook appears to be Richard Rygaard, formerly of the neo-Nazi band Bound for Glory, who reportedly lived close to him in New Jersey.

Born April 22, 1980 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Boyle grew up in Glasgow, Delaware and served in the Army, with duties in Korea as well as some time in Afghanistan. In 2005, some time after he was discharged, he and a few friends were drunk when they ordered a pizza, then refused to pay claiming the delivery took too long and while threatening and harassing the delivery person, calling him racial slurs as well.  All were arrested on a second degree burglary charge while Boyle was also given a hate crime charge that was later dropped, although he did end up doing some probation because of the incident.

On May 26, 2007 he and others associated with KSS were at a bar in South Philadelphia with a KSS hanger-on named Eric Dottavino, and according to court records, they were angry at Dottavino displaying his swastika tattoo in the bar and giving the Nazi salute, embarrassing the group and causing them all to be thrown out of the bar. Dottavino was being assaulted by the group outside the bar when a police officer finishing up a traffic stop down the road heard the commotion and one of them aiming a gun at Dottavino. Upon seeing the officer, they jumped into Boyle’s Dodge Avenger which was being driven by Carney and tried to escape, but the officer managed to catch up to them arresting them all. Boyle and pled guilty to assault and conspiracy to commit assault, and was given a sentence of four years probation.

One year later, he was arrested for possessing a knife outside a show for the punk band GBH at J.C. Dobbs, a club in Philadelphia, just after he almost got into a physical confrontation with One People’s Project founder Daryle Lamont Jenkins. While the outcome of this case is unclear at the time of this posting, he continued to find himself in trouble with police in the years to follow. He eventually left KSS, and it was rumored he was kicked out of the organization due to his reckless behavior.

Boyle’s funeral was to take place June 5 in Elkton, MD.
