Seminoles dismiss QB De'Andre Johnson after video of altercation surfaces
Florida State Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher dismissed freshman quarterback De'Andre Johnson from the team Monday night, hours after the state's attorney's office released video showing Johnson punching a woman in the face last month at a Tallahassee bar.
Fisher made the announcement in a brief statement released by FSU on Monday night.
A source told ESPN.com on Tuesday that FSU officials hadn't seen video of Johnson punching the woman until it was published on the Tallahassee Democrat website Monday. The source said Fisher didn't see the video until Monday night -- shortly before he dismissed Johnson from the team -- because he was vacationing in a remote area of West Virginia.
Johnson, who was named Florida's "Mr. Football" as a senior at First Coast High School in Jacksonville, Florida, was indefinitely suspended from the team in June. He was charged with misdemeanor battery for striking the 21-year-old woman during an argument June 24. He surrendered to Tallahassee police on June 30 and was released on $500 bond.
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.
Johnson's family has retained prominent criminal defense and trial attorney Jose Baez, who is best known for obtaining an acquittal in the Casey Anthony murder trial in Orlando.
The state attorney's office said Baez entered a written not guilty plea on his client's behalf on July 2. Johnson's first court appearance is scheduled in Leon County Court on July 22.
"While it is clear from the video that De'Andre Johnson was not the initial aggressor, his family wants to take the lead in helping him learn and grow from this experience," Baez said Monday in a statement. "He is currently participating in community service and faith-based programs focused on battered women, substance abuse and the empowerment of children.
"De'Andre is extremely embarrassed by this situation and would like to express his heartfelt apologies to everyone, including those who were directly affected, Coach Fisher and his teammates, the entire Florida State University community, as well as his family and friends."
Johnson, who enrolled at FSU in January after graduating early from high school, wasn't thought to be a contender for the Seminoles' starting job this coming season. Junior Sean Maguire and Notre Dame transfer Everett Golson, who enrolled at FSU this summer, are believed to be the top choices to replace 2013 Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston, who was the No. 1 pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in April's NFL draft.
Freshman Deondre Francois of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, also joined FSU's quarterback competition this summer. He was ranked the country's No. 3 dual-threat quarterback and No. 42 overall prospect in the ESPN 300.
Johnson was ranked the No. 7 dual-threat quarterback as a senior. He passed for 3,710 yards and 47 touchdowns while running for 398 yards and nine scores the past season, as he led First Coast High to a 12-1 record. He finished his prep career with 11,697 total yards.
Notice how the White writer PATHETICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WHITE TRASH WENCH! Was the REAL REASON WHY ANY OF THIS HAPPENED, BUT!? IT STILL DOESN'T MATTER! And why? Because THAT is the way that Whites set shit up the moment they were able to enslave us both here AND ABROAD.Keep on playing around with these Whitewomen, Niggers. Keep on playing around with'em. This White-bitch was as wrong as rain on a perfect sunny day and as usual, the Whites have a MILLION EXCUSES FOR HER BEHAVIOR. And we see that VIDEO EVIDENCE once again MEANS NOTHING. There is no STRICT SCRUTINY AND EXAMINATION OF THIS LINEBACKER-BITCH'S ACTIONS. Where we know if we turn this into a Blackwoman being PUNCHED IN THE FACE BY A WHITEMAN LIKE THAT, all of a sudden "She wouldn't make way for him. She kneed him in the groan. And he tried to restrain her BUT U KNOW BLACKWOMEN HAVE THE STRENGTH OF A 100-BLACKWOMEN!" fuckin pathetic.
And THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR, then sends YET ANOTHER STUPID-SIGNAL TO WOMEN. Where this is being DONE ON PURPOSE. Because once this PLOY runs its course? Then Whites will GO FULL REVERSE-N-BITCHES WILL START GETTING DECKED FOR DUMB-SHIT AND THEN MYSTERIOUSLY NOBODY WILL DO A DAMN THING ANYMORE. Mark my words, the Error of Whitewomen's Feminist Movement is RAPIDLY approaching its end. Because Whitemen are steadily starting to push for laws and set-asides to be DONE AWAY WITH in regards to domestic abuse issues. Once the Whitemen in the 1%, as well as Upper Class-Caste and within the Political Circle Think-tanks. See that ENOUGH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO US and any other Non-White Race dumb-enough to get involved in this bullshit White Gender Civil War. They will SHUT IT ALL DOWN. The same way they shutdown the Praying Indians and their Praying Towns, even though they CONFORMED AND SUBMITTED TO WHITES AND THEIR CUSTOMS-N-CULTURE. They will shut it down the same way they did when they rounded up the Japanese and threw them in Internment Camps! Even though THEY'D CLASSIFIED THEM AS WHITES, WHICH MEANT THEY WERE ENTITLED TO THE SAME PROTECTIONS AS THE WHITES UNDER THE CONSTITUTION. And any woman of any race that has bought into going to battle FOR WHITEWOMEN IN THEIR WAR WITH WHITEMEN? You WILL.
END UP.
ASS-UP.
AND ASS-OUT!
I promise you that!
