San Antonio police arrested a man for threatening to slaughter protesters who marched in Saturday\u2019s \u201cNo King\u201ds demonstration, KSAT reports, citing arrest records<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SAPD reportedly took Robert Flores, 66, into custody the same day as the protest, which brought thousands of people<\/a> into downtown streets. Millions nationwide protested to decry Trump administration policies such its increasingly aggressive<\/a> immigration crackdown. <\/p>\n

In threats allegedly posted to Threads, Flores claimed he would kill participants in the San Antonio march by running them down with his vehicle, according to KSAT.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll run you fuckers over and then go have coffee and breakfast at Jim\u2019s,\u201d Flores said in one of the Threads comments, according to the affidavit cited by the TV station. \u201cSay goodbye to your loved ones as you leave tomorrow morning. Some of you will not return.\u201d<\/p>\n

The arrest document also accuses Flores of stating he planned to \u201cclear the streets for traffic\u201d and that \u201ckilling a Democrat is acceptable.\u201d <\/p>\n

Flores, who\u2019s since been released from custody, is charged with making terroristic threats, a third-degree felony.<\/p>\n
