I haven't seen pictures of Bethel since 2020, when they made the national news after a Black Lives Matter rally by a few residents (as I recall, they were greatly outnumbered by counter protesters).

A year later, the police chief was on leave after an audit of the community's handling of the event. https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/clermont-county/bethel-police-chief-mayor-condemn-violence-after-counter-protesters-tout-weapons-during-rally

That stinks. The nice little cafe on main street was celebrating Juneteenth, so perhaps some improvement has been made.

The chair Nazis at Riverbend are notoriously arbitrary.
