Go on

These people defy logic, and I really don't know how they can ignore the horrifying things that have gone on, and still go on,....

Does the bold part mean "that have been going on"?
Is the reason the writer used this expression, using 'go on' twice, to stress the fact that thins have been going on?

Thanks in advance.
