Atlantic
City, NJ - People from across South Jersey arrive
at Our Lady Star of The Sea Roman Catholic Church to honor
the memory of Army Specialist Eric Rivera, an Atlantic
City native killed in Iraq. Threats by members of the
radical Westboro Baptist Church to protest the funeral
mobilized Local 54 and the Patriot Guard Riders to gather
in full force to counteract any disruption. However, the
protesters were allegedly waylaid by a huge storm, which
grounded airtravel and kept them out of New Jersey.
