SANTA FE (AP) — Occupy protesters who have camped out at Santa Fe’s Railyard Park for the past two months may be breaking up on their own.
Cary Johnson, one of the original camp leaders, tells the Santa Fe New Mexican that he’s fed up with dangerous conditions in the park, including drunks and drug addicts threatening campers, and that he’s not going back.
A half-dozen other campers also say they won’t go back and that many of the tents in the park already are sitting empty.
Another protester, Nicholas Battista, says that about 15 to 20 people protesters still sleep in the camp overnight but that it may be time to close it down.
He says the camp has become a haven for drunks and the mentally ill and that he’s worried about the potential for violence.
