White House Peace Vigil lives on after Concepcion's passing

While the passing of Concepcion Piccolo was widely reported in the mainstream press, there has been not one word there about the continuing of the White House Peace Vigil, which lives on. Just when the National Park Service and the White House thought kings and dictators would be able to visit the White House without seeing a reminder of what their policies can do, just when they thought it was "safe to go back in the water," the vigil continues.

For decades the police and Park Service tried again and again to shut down the vigil. Bad arrests, even the beatings of drummers keeping George HW Bush awake during the first Iraq War could not shut it down. Even the passing of Concepcion, who had bottomlined the vigil for so long now cannot stop it. Only the removal or nuclear weapons from US arsenals can do that it seems.
