DC “Peace vigil” found abandoned
If you’ve been to Lafayette Park, across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House in the last thirty years, you’ve seen the garbage heap that is known as the “Peace Vigil” usually occupied by human refuse. It has been allowed to remain in place without a permit because it’s been continuously occupied by someone for more than three decades. But that all changed the other night when it was left to one of those “Occupy veterans” to maintain the vigil, and probably like his less-than honorable service, he got tired of doing what he was supposed to do and wandered off into the night without telling anyone. According to the Washington Post, an alert Park Police Officer found the trash heap abandoned and picked it up;
Park Police spokesman Paul Brooks confirmed that the vigil was taken down by police in the early morning hours after it was left unattended — a violation of National Park Service rules.
The resulting outcry was immediate. Residents of Peace House, a home in Northwest Washington where Picciotto and the other activists who tend the vigil reside, spread the word among supporters and contacted local social service organizations for help.
[…]
Picciotto said that the man who was covering the vigil overnight left sometime during the early morning and returned to the Peace House. Feriha Kaya, who manages Peace House, said the man is a veteran who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Yeah, all veterans have PTSD, or didn’t you know that. Well, thankfully, the trash heap has been returned to the filthy hippies and they’ve piled it back up in front of the White House. Whew. We almost had a nuclear war there for a minute without the “peace vigil” to remind us of peace.
Thanks to Bobo for the link.

Figures that the folks running DC wouldn’t have the stones to return that part of Lafayette Park to its intended use.
Just another example of DC leadership caving to special interests.
BBBBBWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!
(wheeze)
BBBBBWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!
But then they put it back. Personally, I’d have put it back AFTER I soaked the contents in gasoline and threw on a match.
‘Eff these douchetards.
in the famous words…. what makes them so freakin’ special? Terms werew that they could stay there as long as it was manned… when they let it be abandoned – sorry, Charlie.
“I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved!!!”
What a douche. I expect that from a hippie, but a veteran? Even the most jacked up of jackbag E-1s knows better…they probably mean he’s someone who wanted to be a veterinarian when he was a kid…
I think I found the perfect place to pee during the Marine Corps Marathon next month…….
Why were they allowed to put it back in place? You snooze you lose.
Too bad that place for safe keeping wasn’t a dumpster. If it was such an important thing you would think that they would do better keeping it up.
So all this because some 77 year old hippie might get butt hurt over her littering the park with all this crap for the last 30 years?
I’ve seen this hovel of garbage when I’ve been to DC. There should be no need for her to be there anymore as once the rules were violated she lost her place. Why do these 4ssclowns get a free pass?
I used to work in the court building on Lafayette square. Every morning there would be a maintenance man with a hose, washing away the smell of stale piss. They’d get it clean, but it was a daily chore, and it wasn’t stinking in the evening when the building emptied.
What Sparky said.
Whatever happened to the word, “No?” They violated the terms by which they were allowed to construct an eye sore and health hazard for the sole purpose of irritating everyone else in the neighborhood who was forced to endure them for decades.
What a great example of the tyranny of the minority. Stupid.
Why is that fucking loon allowed to squat like that for 30 years? What the fuck is wrong with our country? Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK.
Shit makes me want to come out and stomp hippies.
Filthy hippies. I feel like I can smell them just from looking at those photos.
Wait, we can move homeless shanty towns but these useless fucks get to keep that crap? Ridiculous. All of that bullshit should have been tossed in a trash truck and gotten rid of. Or better yet, soaked in AVGAS and torched.
@13, I don’t need even that much provocation to want to stomp hippies. I think hippie stomping should replace curling as an event in the Winter Olympics.
That old cow is 77? She looks like she’s 180. I’ve seen someone like her on the bus in Chicago. Smelled like someone who lived and slept in a dumpster, and it was really bad on a hot day when the A/C didn’t work and only a few windows would open.
I do wish just once, one of these idiot reporters who seem SO sympathetic to bums like piccioto would spend a whole week in the vagrant’s squat and find out what a loon she is.
If that dump is abandoned again, and let’s hope it is, then she should be told to move on. It is NOT a landmark, it is a vagrant’s squat.
It’s a growing trend in this country.
You Can’t
Own a firearm.
Smoke in Public.
Order a soda over 12 ozs.
Cook with MSG.
You Can:
Pile up trash and use a national park as an outhouse, opium den, and camping site.
Old Dog, departing mayor Bloomerbutt’s local regulation on soft drink size was overturned by the local court system. His armor has not only cracked, he’s also lost money betting on keeping 2 (count ’em) anti-gun Colorado state legislators from being recalled.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA………
Hippies, GOTTA CLUB ‘EM ALL!!
Yeah. So I hate hippies. And generally don’t like the French. But I am pleased to see that the one Frenchman who every American should appreciate now has a respectful place to stand watch over a nation he helped create. HooYah Lafayette!
I’ve been by that place. As card board shanties erected by deranged homeless people go, its not bad.
If this special little mutated snowflake can erect a temporary dwelling on public land, the same applies to the rest of us, right?? Looks like for as long as we want, or at least 30 years.
Just in case anyone else were inclined to actually want to squat in subhuman conditions just to send a message to everyone else that you are a self-centered idiot with no regard for the needs or wants of others who must deal with the stench.
Left his post…what else would you expect? I bet he’d fallen asleep on guard duty
We just won the war again why rub it in! We always win you always lose so we go home after we win these wars!
#25- Go ye therefor and read the writing of Hunter S. Thompson. Do note that he could actually write a coherent sentence, even under the influence of the heaviest of drugs. And please note he was actually entertaining.
Reading your drivel is just… painful.
32 years… and it’s so small! That one camp I saw in London 3 years ago was bigger, and similarly anti-Semitic.
@25, you really need to go back to school so you can learn to read & write at least at a sixth grade level!!
Unguarded trash piles.
IVAW = Losers.
[…] This ain’t Hell… notes that the White House peace vigil of 30 years is no more […]
