One Peninsula high school student's support of Donald Trump may have made her a target.
The Woodside High School student and her family are shocked something like this could happen. The girl said all of her friends were posting about the election last night, but her post got her beat up.
Cellphone video captured the moment a female student attacked sophomore Jade Armenio.
"This girl comes up to me and she said, 'Do you hate Mexicans?' and I was like, 'no,' and she said, 'You support Trump. You hate Mexicans.'"
Armenio says the girl hit her, threw her to the ground, pulled out her earrings and hair. She was left with a bloody nose and scratches and bruises.
Before the results came in on election night, Armenio had posted on Instagram that she hoped Trump would win.
"I don't think I could name one person on any of my accounts who didn't say their opinion last night," Armenio said.
Armenio's parents say they're mortified about what happened.
"My husband and I don't put our political views on social media. Kids still do it. That's their life. We tell them don't do it, but even if she does she should never be hit like that," said Gina Armenio.
The principle of Woodside High School issued a statement that reads in part the recorded incident was investigated in conjunction with law enforcement and appropriate disciplinary action has been taken.
Armenio says she's also now the target of social media hate mail but she's taking it in stride.
"In high school if you really care about what every person thinks you're going to get torn apart," Armenio said.
Armenio parents say they are keeping her out of school until they know she'll be safe.

This hateful and disgusting behavior is the direct result of the Clinton campaign and main stream media deliberately providing volumes and volumes of misinformation about Donald Trump.
They made unjustified and untrue allegations much like the communists described in the book "Iron Curtain."
It was a campaign to magnify minor flaws while ignoring their own monumental faults. Disgraceful and not easy to undo.
How long will it take for the brainwashed to recover? Or is it that they have a lifetime of fooling themselves? It is so easy to foment hate. Our high schools and colleges are full of seriously misinformed, intolerant students and worse teachers.
I am so with you on this. I, too, deactivated my Facebook account for exactly the same reason. I say nothing to anyone about my political views because I do not want to be called names.
I think what leftists did not understand is that for years people on the right have been silenced by their bullying tactics, and they were shocked to find out that we even exist.
Maybe this is their “extinction burst”.
When bullies are confronted and dealt with(or sometimes simply ignored)they often escalate for a time before backing down.
I remember about 35 years ago when my little 8 year old girl got beat up by three 11 year old boys on her way home from school. The school would do nothing about it, so we enrolled her in martial arts classes the very next day.
Four months later, the same 3 boys wanted to beat her up again. She sent all 3 to the emergency room and was never picked on by anyone ever again.
My grandson is now enrolled in the same classes, and has already resolved his own problems with a bully.
no they’re blurred man but it’s only one of two choices.
I only read FR for news. Dont watch tv. Watch amazon prime.
I wouldn’t have even known there were riots :)
it would have just been another nice sunny day on staten island.
