BEND, OR -- Dozens of political, civic and religious leaders signed a statement condemning hate and white supremacy that was released Friday morning. D-A John Hummel says two Bend Councilors approached him and the three of them wrote the statement. Hummel told KBND if there is violence here it will be only because people from the outside came in with the violence. Hummel says he has prosecuted people who attack Black Lives Matter supporters and people who have attacked Trump supporters. He says it doesn’t matter what position any protestors take because free speech is supported in this community. He says any people who get violent they will be prosecuted.
