Police Arrest Volunteers For Feeding Homeless In Tampa, Florida

Seven activists were arrested for feeding cold and hungry homeless people in a Tampa city park on Saturday afternoon. Florida police say that they made the arrests because the group did not have a permit to serve the food. The volunteers from ‘Food Not Bombs’ were aware that their actions were technically illegal, but putting compassion first they decided to pass out food anyway and say they will continue to do so.
