Florida State dumps QB

[Mr. Scot]

Caight on video punching a woman in the face...

Seminoles dismiss QB De'Andre Johnson after video of altercation surfaces

The video, which was captured by security cameras in a bar near the FSU campus, shows Johnson trying to push past the woman, who was waiting to order at the bar. The woman turned toward Johnson, who grabbed her right arm after she raised it in a fist. The woman raised her knee and swung at Johnson with her left arm, and then he punched her in the face.

According to the Tallahassee Police Department incident report, the woman, an FSU student, suffered bruising near her left eye, swelling of the left cheek and upper lip, and a small cut near the bridge of her nose.

State's attorney Willie Meggs, who decided to charge Johnson after seeing video of the incident, said the woman still had a black eye when he met with her last week.

Covered 3 hours ago in the college forum.

He did use disproportionate force but why would the girl kick and punch him? In my college anyone caught for fighting on campus was dismissed but this is off campus. Let the law handle them both.

Ray Rice is without a job and Hope Solo just won herself a world championship. The double standard must stop.

What was a teenager doing in a bar to begin with? 

Was there any adult supervision? 

[TheRed]

He grabs hold of her arm, she tries to defend herself, and he absolutely decks her. Dude is a scumbag. He has no one to blame but himself.

That's garbage. Hope Solo fought a 280lb man and these girls got beat by men much arger that them. A warrior spirit says she prevailed while under matched and the others took evolutionary advantage. That doesn't make her less of a crazy bitch however the other guys were taking advantage of every physical advantage avaluable. 

She, while maybe crazy was at a disadvantage.

How heavy was her nephew?

[PoundCat]

Not saying that she deserved what she got, but can we please teach our daughters that it's simply not smart to raise your fist to a man that you don't know, or try to knee that man in the groin? Not every man has impulse control, and you can't assume that they one that you try to punch won't get mad and punch you back. Just don't do that ladies.

We need to teach our son's to just walk away from those type situations too, but we need to teach our daughters to avoid them as well.

How heavy was her nephew?

Her nephew was 280lbs. So that puts her in the right? I'm getting confused here. She came there drunk and started tearing poo up.

That's what I feel. The whole story has been reported as FSU QB punches woman meanwhile it was started by the girl. It does not only go for girls. I am not swinging at a guy bigger than me.

[PhillyB]

jesus christ. if a grandma swats me in the face i'm not going to fuging curb stomp her world war two remembering ass just because i have every right to defend myself. zero excuse to clock her like that. if you can't control the situation just walk the fug away.

oh so now he was 280 lbs? Yeah hope solo vs a 280 lb man has difficulty getting sympathy. I'm not one for lambasting idealistically.

Are you seriously saying it's ok to punch a girl half your size because she provoked you?

[I'mBack]

I get what some people on here are trying to say about double standards, but I don't think it applies here. The dude put his hands on her first. He could have walked away. Now, if the dude was just sitting there and some girl just comes and starts wailing on him, then yeah, expect to get knocked out.

[CelibatePimp]

Why? Because he did not beat her up? Is that what you are saying? That as long as the victim is bigger than the aggressor it's not a biggie? He showed incredible restraint with Solo but it does not make what she did any better.
