My father works in Woodbury CT as a police officer and he was on duty at the time of the funeral. He said there were around 400 people that showed up to block the view of WBC. Among the large majority of people were various biker gangs and plenty of Anonymous to block the view. Since Woodbury is such a small town, the only officers on duty were my father and some other old guy although a few state police men came to assist if necessary. There was even a federal attorney present just in case fights broke out with WBC. With the lack of cops present, the mob could have messed the church up easily and that might have been why they didn't show up in the first place. When he got home that day he emphasized how respectful everybody was toward him. If he asked a group of people to leave an area because it was private property, they all did as they were told without any hassle. It's almost too bad WBC didn't show up since they would have gotten their asses handed to them.
