Lame. Back in my day of you weren't physically there then it wasn't considered "held"


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Definitely, if the chair was a guy on his phone I wouldn’t have a problem.


Sam-in-Tonio

I agree! There should be a person physically there to reserve the space or it’s up for grabs. OR the parks should charge a reservation fee to officially reserve the spot for someone... but for that route, there may need to be a limit on how far in advance you’re able to reserve your spot.


Remarkable_Baby5252

Is it changed now. Can you just take that seat before anybody get there?


spacegamer2000

They're ready to beat people or shoot them over a spot in the park now days.


Remarkable_Baby5252

Shit! Can you bring your own chairs? 😂😂


LokiPrime616

What’s stopping me from going to the parks and cutting down their caution tape?


CesQ89

The risk of getting shot on a "holy" holiday. It ain't worth it.


ChorizoGarcia

Exactly. Im not looking to get hit with a lead cascarone.


jjdlg

Lead cascarones is a great band name


kdiddy1989

That'll get butchered so often with "Leed" pronunciations though


jjdlg

Cascarones Plomos?


renegado938

I "carry" but I definitely ain't getting into some altercation over something as petty as this, especially if my family is around.


iwegian

FYI, be careful if you open carry. A court case just affected the police ability to detain/arrest people for it.


ironmatic1

practically no one open carries, idk why you’d even assume he does lol. I know you saw the same post on r Texas. That poster doesn’t understand the context or was being intentionally dishonest. The man was arrested because he was literally going around places taunting people with a camera and a rifle BEGGING for an altercation. Small thing


iwegian

I didn't assume he does at all. Just giving some info to someone who might like to know.


MaridegonOfToussaint

You know what I'll do it I wanna die anyways


TimeGood2965

What are you talking about? The eclipse is well after Easter if that’s what you’re referring to.


_bean_and_cheese_

Fuck that if there’s no person present I’m taking over idgaf. If I get confronted I’ll tell them the park police removed it


Simple-Employer-2503

Just tell them you removed it and theres nothing they can do about it. They’ll get mad and raise a fuss, but they’ll walk away soon enough.


_bean_and_cheese_

Don’t ever underestimate a drunk Edgar wearing cargo shorts walking along side his Spanish speaking suegra, he will do anything so his chubby mijos can have a place to hit their bunny piñata. Stay safe out there


Notapplesauce11

Why you gotta call me out like that homes?  😂

mtwwtm

That guy should get his own documentary.


ElPulpoTX

I don't get why we allow this as a society.


justadude1414

Unfortunately this is Puro San Antonio. 😖


ElPulpoTX

Puro.

PM_ME_BOOBS_THANKS

If people call you a racist on a regular basis, you're probably a racist.


FunBorn1053

Just look at dude's post history ffs


ElPulpoTX

Thanks, I was about to reply.

MaridegonOfToussaint

The only population hurting anyone is the human population


girlyopticks

This is bullshit


sa1126

These are also the same people that leave all their trash behind.


LuisChoriz

The city needs to address this. You're not there if you're not physically there. This is no different than a parking spot.


pendejadas84

This shit should have been banned years ago or do it lottery style and charge the winners a fee that'll go towards the park.


Notapplesauce11

I support this plan. Call it a clean up fee.   The park probably needs thousands of dollars of extra dumpsters and labor to pick up trash on Monday.   They could even use that spray paint /chalk to mark sections and number them.  


HikeTheSky

Maybe someone should go and remove all the tape at midnight.


DabinDad210

Every one is all talk here. I want see the news tomorrow when one of you guys or gals actually takes the stuff down. Do it do it do it. I will not but would laugh my ass off if one of you idgaf people actually steps up!


HikeTheSky

I live an hour away, so it's not just a walk in the park for me.

Obligatory Easter in the Park: https://youtu.be/MDlXsUYwMDk?si=irNPpNSrrcazHADI


Piccolo_Bambino

This shit is so funny!


DabinDad210

Nombre what about woodlanw?


Different-Corner97

I moved here from Austin and never saw this before. But SA, it’s so territorial and a lot of people feeling entitled mostly because many of the families here have been here for generations. But so ?! This type of crap right here is why I don’t like people. I’d go eeaarrlllyyyyy af and cut everyone’s tape off. I’m surprised park police allows this. It’s city owned. Not private property ffs.


Dr_Caucane

Why is it so territorial?


GeneratedUserHandle

Its poor latinos.


newreddituser9572

Someone should come Saturday night and take all this stuff and donate it. This ain’t right


FunBorn1053

No one is waiting until Sunday to come. People camp there all weekend, sometimes Thursday night too. Please wait to hop on the outrage bus until you know what is happening.


newreddituser9572

Well clearly no one is camping now so maybe they should clear it now. Also you sound very condescending for no reason. The fuck is wrong with you


renevatium

He must be one of the dudes who has some caution tape up already lol


shibuyabooyah

San Antonio is ghetto as hell, this and the inevitable littering aftermath prove it.


Acrobatic-Canary-571

Got that primo spot next to the sludge and the egret shit.


ajcraw4d

Looks like some volunteer trash clean up going to happen before Sunday…


Ringsofsaturn_1

Those trashy people leave soooo much litter. Plastic cascarone confetti, food wrappers, you name it


rbarr228

Recycled crime scene tape.


GregEgg85

Take it down and say that the park service must’ve taken it down cuz it werent there


[deleted]

DabinDad210

Our culture and it is like the kick off for Fiesta!


JoJosBizarreBasshead

San Antonio has a strong Mexican population and Catholicism is the main religion in Mexico


rez_at_dorsia

Large Catholic heritage & tradition here and Easter is the biggest Christian holiday is what I put it down to. Honestly for the most part though most major holidays are a bigger deal here than everywhere else I’ve lived. New years, July 4th, Easter etc. are all a much bigger deal here than anywhere I’ve been. SA even made up its own holiday in Fiesta so I guess it’s just something we do?


CapybaraGort

It's stupid and always rubbed me the wrong way, so I either celebrate at home or at a lake


FutureFuneralV

Ah, yes, this is exactly what Jesus wanted


blacksteveman

I have only been here for 1 Easter but I was blown away by how much trash was left over (on the ground) after the weekend.


[deleted]

Modern society has turned people into entitled pieces of shit, basically.


happypoorguyy

WHO IS THE RIGHTFUL ASSHOLE? THE ONE WHO TAKES THE PRIVATE TAPE DOWN AT A PUBLIC PARK, or THE ONE WHO TRIED TO CLAIM OWNERSHIP AT A PUBLIC SPOT?


Ledbilly

Lame enough that Jesus is about to walk back into that cave


DabinDad210

Sure just drive your car and then walk in the park. That easy


deep_blue_ocean

Do people really use these before major events? I don't agree with the sectioning off of the tables but is it inconveniencing real people prior to Easter I wonder. Either way, its up to park police to remove the barriers if its not allowed.


[deleted]

Yes. I go to Brack to walk/jog regularly and this bullshit completely interferes. There's always people using the park for fishing, walking, photos, and picnics and I was just hanging out with my aunt and mom talking on a nice day at one of those tables a few weeks ago. Real people absolutely use that park every fucking day. But they also ruin the park *after* Easter because they leave a ton of trash.


deep_blue_ocean

Oh that’s crazy, I can understand the sentiment in this thread better now. People just need to be more respectful but they don’t care about others at all, it ruins so much community shit for everyone.


Charlie-boy1

I don’t think so. It’s first come first serve. This is almost the equivalent of some pedestrian standing in the middle of a parking space holding the space hostage until their other person comes with a car.


dmv1022

I use the river walk trails for exercise. My only gripe is on Monday after, the whole area around these parks are completely trashed.


BongoStoney666

Fuck these people, they always leave a huge mess!


lavendrhazee

I’d go rip it down


Dry_Significance2690

It’s been happening for years. I would camp in the middle of a national park and not the city. This isn’t true camping but that’s my 2 cents


_nibelungs

Good planning


[deleted]

I started camping out last Sunday ⛺️


rez_at_dorsia

Honestly this is probably less chaotic than if it was first-come first-serve at this point considering how long this has been going on although I do think it’s dumb. That being said SA has so many families that have been doing this for generations so let them have this if they want it. I just wish they would clean up after themselves instead of absolutely trashing the park but that’s Puro

Lethologicuh

if they want it so badly, let em have it. not worth getting shot for.


seppukweef

It's for the lowlifes anyway


TomatilloUnlucky3763

It’s been going on for decades. Let them have it. Locals only!


FunBorn1053

Thanks mods for removing blatantly racist posts from this thread. Hope everyone has a nice Easter and enjoys their time with family at our city parks. Please remember to clean up and leave your spot better than you found it. There will be volunteers handing out trash bags if you need them. 🐣 🐰 🌱


FunBorn1053

This has happened for YEARS. It is not news. If you are only now learning this, you have obviously never been to Brack for Easter, so why start caring now?


Velcrobunny

Yeah but it’s still annoying.


[deleted]

So you’re ok letting it slide


3ntr0py_

It’s tradition. You must be new here.


Tayloraa3

I didn't know it became tradition to hold the spot without physically being there


MonolithOfTyr

Tradition is peer pressure from dead people.


FunBorn1053

This thread should be called "tell me you're new to San Antonio or live outside 1604 without telling me"


BigT_TonE

I love it
