Did George Pickens Assault On Handicap Student?
Actually, the story is not actually as it seems. George did not actually assault a handicapped student.
Jonathan Martin, Pickens’ old Hoover teammate, is apparently visible in the video fighting with Pickens.
Martin moved to Twitter to deny not only the nature of the altercation seen in the video but also College Football Quotes’ accusation that he is “mentally handicapped.”
On Twitter, other Hoover students defended Pickens. College Football Quotes has withdrawn the message, and the account’s proprietors have apologized to Pickens and Martin.
A OLD video of me and @geo_Thagoat y’all have the story all wrong I am not mentally handicapped in no way shape or form and I was not brutally abused. I maintain a 3.1 GPA and I am a nationally ranked track athlete @cfbquotes you didn’t know me before but you’ll know me soon https://t.co/CqvA2iT1er
