WILDWOOD, NJ – It was a peaceful march along the Wildwood Boardwalk on Sunday that was met with some resistance and shouting as nearly one hundred BLM protesters marched along the boardwalk to protest police brutality. Marchers shouted “Black Lives Matter” and were met with boos, shouting and plenty of Jersey birds being shown. Protesters and people displaced on the boardwalk exchanged verbal barbs with each other, but the event ended on a peaceful note and without violence.
