I can certainly say I was surprised a week ago when about eight pro-life activists marched past me on Bogue Street followed by a wagon with a little kid in it with a sign that read, “I’m a child, not a choice.” I do not want this to come across as a matter of free speech rights, public forum restrictions, captive audiences or anything of the like, but a matter of tact.

McCue’s son, parks and recreation junior Bradley McCue, died from alcohol poisoning after downing 24 shots on his 21st birthday in 1998. Newstead’s son, 24-year-old Brandon D’Annunzio, died Oct.
