Three Occupy San Antonio members got tickets early Sunday, two days after relocating from the entrance of HemisFair Park to a spot near the Tower of the Americas. San Antonio Park Police officers approached eight occupiers around 8 a.m. where they had their protest material set up at an adobe building. They issued camping without permit tickets to Jovanie Ortiz, 19, Robert Wilson, 21, and Steve Haskell, 43, with court dates in February. “I was…

The city’s tolerance of Occupy San Antonio members who have slept at HemisFair Park for more than two months appears to be running low. Monday afternoon, San Antonio park police – who have been permissive and in some instances supportive of occupiers’ activities – approached with notices foreshadowing what could be a different chapter for them. Each occupier got a copy of the municipal code’s camping in public section. Printed at the very top, in…

  Occupy San Antonio’s zero-arrest scorecard is history, but protesters said they were the ones who called police on a man who was charged with assault this week and cited under a city ordinance prohibiting public alcohol consumption. Around 8:30 p.m. Monday, two San Antonio Park Police officers “responded to an assault in progress that involved members of the Occupy San Antonio” at 600 HemisFair Plaza Way, a police report states.

After a month of complying with law enforcement requests in the name of keeping their protest peaceful, Occupy San Antonio members came close to joining other movements nationwide that have a record of arrests.

Several generous globs of rice, Creole seafood gumbo, dipping biscuits, fresh salad and oh, don’t forget dessert — caramel-coated popcorn balls, a Louisiana delicacy. Never mind that they’re served on disposables and utensils are scarce. Sitting cross-legged on the ground in HemisFair Park at Occupy San Antonio’s encampment, Marty “Mac” McMillan pronounced it “delicious!” “It’s warm, home-cooked food made with love,” the 41-year-old disabled U.S. Navy veteran said, putting his lips to the foam bowl…

To an outsider, the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy San Antonio protesters are a highly structured community, with a list of rules, an insistence on obeying the law and a twice-a-day schedule of general assemblies and marches that start on the dot. This local incarnation of a now-international movement denouncing Wall Street and economic injustice has maintained a zero arrest record for the two weeks and three days since its members started an encampment at HemisFair Park….

Gathering in solidarity with ongoing anti-Wall Street protests in New York, a group of mostly young people, numbering about 200 at its peak, brought San Antonio onto a national bandwagon Thursday. “Occupy San Antonio!” the group shouted from dawn to dusk. “We are the 99 percent!” Members repeatedly decried concentrations of wealth and power at a morning assembly in Travis Park and during a scrupulously well-behaved sidewalk march to the Alamo, the Grand Hyatt, CPS…
