The seniors at Beech Grove High School outside Indianapolis watched Wednesday s riot at the U.S. Capitol unfold on social media sites such as Twitter. As supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the building, the teens found themselves disappointed.
Disappointed in the rioters. Disappointed in the country’s political leaders. Disappointed in the law enforcement response and the double standard they saw in it. Disappointed in the media portrayal.
“There are a lot of double standards,” Guerrero said. “If that had been a different protesting group, would there have been a completely different reaction? Would there have been more force?”
