This is the Bryan Bradley we knew. The Atlantic City “Skinheads” leader is shown here in the beige t-shirt with ACS member Owen Carr. But since he was struck and killed by lightning a few months ago while working on the new Revel Casino in Atlantic City, this Bizarro World has come up where the media prefers to paint him as some sort of everyman. Now his union plans to pay tribute to him during a ceremony during their Workers’ Memorial Day event this Friday. This has gone far enough.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ The leader of a violent neo-Nazi gang who died after being struck by lightning while working last September will be honored by his union on Friday as part of Workers’ Memorial Day.

According to a flyer from the Atlantic & Cape May County Central Labor Council, Bryan Bradley will be honored at the Workers’ Memorial Monument at the Boardwalk on Kennedy Plaza at 4PM. Bradley was a member of Local 415 of the Laborers International Union of North America.

For over 20 years, Bradley was the reputed head of the Atlantic City “Skinheads” which, according to the Anti-Defamation League, is the largest of the New Jersey-based bonehead crews in terms of numbers and reach. One of its members, Walter Dille, is serving a life sentence after he was convicted for the 2005 murder of an African-American woman during a botched carjacking in a shopping center parking lot in Hamilton Township.

Bradley was struck and killed by lightning last September as he worked on the Revel Casino, which opened April 2. His widow has filed a lawsuit against the construction company he worked for. Despite his notoriety as the ACS leader, no local media outlets have noted this association in any of the stories since his death, and it is not known if the Central Labor Council is similarly aware.

April 28 is the day set aside for Workers’ Memorial Day, 28 April each year to pay tribute to workers who have died in the workplace due to safety concerns, and to demand employers pay for their safety crimes.
