Florida: 7 from Food Not Bombs Arrested Feeding People in City Park
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Florida, seven volunteers of the group Food Not Bombs were arrested
Saturday while feeding people in Tampa's Lykes Gaslight Park. They were
arrested for sharing food without a permit-a costly procedure required
by the city of Tampa. Some were arrested still wearing the plastic
gloves they were using to dish out food. Food Not Bombs has vowed to
continue its twice-weekly feeding program.
