Love the troops - Hate the war. This vigil has been controversial because it is sometimes misunderstood. The purpose of this vigil is to raise awareness within our
community and among the media that the most injured soldiers are brought to Walter Reed to be treated and should not be forgotten.
Interesting that “peace group” CP prominently features a violent revolutionary (Weather Underground) alumnus. Then again, maybe the woman’s 3 comrades were blown up by a malfunctioning water heater and not her and the others making terrorist bombs.
Also, note that the National Press Club is allowing discount tickets to CP even though some CP members have been banned from NPC for disrupting events.
In 1970, she, along with Kathy Boudin,
survived an explosion in the basement of her parents’ townhouse that killed three Weathermen, forcing the two underground.

So the explosion was so powerful that it drove them underground for 20 years! What amazing survival skills those women must have had! What amazing writing skills the CPer has.
Was the explosion a self-driven thing like the SUVs that have accidents? /sarc
Never mind, I am old enough to remember the real story.
Eh, they’ll probably all get arrested before they get through half of that list.
