In light of Trayvon Martin‘s death, Seminole State College has expelled George Zimmerman, the man who shot Martin. The college released a statement Thursday addressing the “high-profile controversy” — citing student safety as the sole reason.
The statement said:
“Due to the highly charged and high-profile controversy involving this student, Seminole State has taken the unusual but necessary step this week to withdraw Mr. Zimmerman from enrollment. [...] This decision is based solely on our responsibility to provide for the safety of our students on campus as well as for Mr. Zimmerman.”
The Orlando Sentinel reports Zimmerman was working toward an Associate in Arts degree:
Zimmerman, 28, first enrolled at the college in 2003 and was working toward a vocational certificate to become an insurance agent. He re-enrolled in 2009 and was working toward an Associate in Arts degree in a general studies program, according to the college.

There goes that old "presumption of innocence" thing that they're always talking about.

"presumption of innocence" Which is required only in a court of law, D'uh!

If he was a suspected member of al Queda, the school would be protecting him....

I thought he was 38. Now he’s 28, and Martin is 3 inches shorter and 40 lbs lighter?

The city has already “convicted” him in the press and now this. I wouldn’t mind being his civil lawyer. I’d be mansion, Jaguar and houseboat shopping.

In Mr. Zimmerman’s case it was 9 years of school down the drain!

I wonder if he’ll enter a float in the Homecoming parade?

9 years of college? That’s one year away from a Ph.D!

On FR IT IS a perfect storm!

So because a vigilante/lynch-mob may want to take him out sans trial, he gets the boot, because after all, he is a “vigilante” who killed someone without giving him a trial first...
Is this some kind of a fluke?

Maybe he stayed in school to hookup with 30 year old law student sluts who can’t even figure out cost effective birth control.

The vigilante mob wants to take out a vigilante? That’s something new.
To: a fool in paradise
Naw, he’s picking up chicks telling them he’s the other Zimmerman’s cousin!

It is totally inappropriate that the college would announce this publicly. Probably a violation of student privacy laws.
