SAN ANTONIO — A 66-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly posting threats aimed at protesters planning to attend Saturday’s “No Kings” demonstration.
According to the San Antonio Police Department, Robert Flores made multiple threatening statements on his Threads account the day before the protest, including one that read: “All of you that plan to attend, please say goodbye to your loved ones as you leave tomorrow morning, some of you will not return.”
Flores was taken into custody and charged with terroristic threats impacting public services, authorities said. He has since been released on bond.
Also over the weekend, graffiti that may be linked to the ‘No Kings’ protest was discovered at several locations throughout District 9, including property at Community Bible Church.
District 9 Councilwoman Misty Spears shared photos on social media, one of which showed graffiti near South San Pedro Ave. When our crew arrived at that location, the graffiti had already been removed, though other sites had not yet been cleaned.
Two additional images were captured along the U.S. 281 access road, also within District 9.
On Monday in a news release, District 9 Councilwoman Misty Spears condemned political graffiti.
“I’m deeply disappointed to see that political messages were spray-painted on both personal and city property across many locations in District 9,” she said. “This kind of vandalism – no matter the message or motive – has no place in our community.”
Spears continued, “We value respectful dialogue, civic engagement, and lawful expression of ideas. Defacing property to make a political point doesn’t strengthen the cause; it weakens it. It divides neighbors, damages our community, and diverts valuable time and resources from public safety and essential city services.”
As of Monday, police said the graffiti cases remain under investigation and no suspects have been identified.
