Occupy Tampa "Arrested" For Protesting NDAA

Occupy Tampa staged a theatrical protest against the National Defense Authorization Act and its provisions that permit indefinite detention without trial. These protesters were "arrested" by the "military" outside Centro Ybor in Ybor City. Later they marched to the Tampa headquarters of the Obama 2012 campaign to call on the president to veto the spending bill.

The Legend of Krampus in Ybor City

Tampa and Ybor City already have some great celebration events, from Gasparilla to Guavaween. Why not another? As far as I’m concerned, we need as many excuses to play dress-up and wander from bar to bar as we can find. To that end I recommend that Tampa adopt Krampusnacht as a local celebration.
