I know, eh? He shouldn't even be allowed to drive anymore. Never mind racing. Someones life is ruined because of his racing....how can people (sponsors) support him?!?!

i do believe there are a LOT of people to blame , in addition to Nick. I wont bring up the seatbelt issue, since its a given. but, what about the police? he got off Scott free for his previous speeding predicaments. his parents? continuing to give him the tools he needed to drive fast? the companies that sponsor this moron? i'm sure the list goes on and on.

Ummm... the kid was not only NOT wearing a seatbelt but got into the car with him knowing that he likes to speed and race. For all we know, he could have been cheering him on. Not to say this at all excuses Nick's actions. He's a spoiled little prick that deserves jail time, BUT the kid knew what he was getting himself into and he is halfway to blame for his current condition. He wasn't forced into the car.

Well, the kid's been punished enough for his part of the blame, hasn't he? Damn, the kid is better off dead now. I don't think that refusing to wear a seatbelt and getting into a car with a drunk speeding kid deserves the death penalty, or else most young kids would be dead by now.

Even if John did'nt wear his seatbelt, Nick should've at least had the common sense to make him put his seatbelt on. But I guess if you'r driving a Supra on a dark wet city street at 100+MPH then the last thing Nick had was common sense.

Nick and his douchebag family should be ashamed of themselves worrying about their own asses instead of a family friend who is now disabled from this senseless accident. Watch them try to get another season of "Hogan Knows Best" to highlight this mess.

His friend is in a vegetable state and he didn't release a public statement or show any kind of remorse?

curlysem · November 7th, 2007, 06:28 PM

we if he has to pay his dues go ahead, but i wouldn't just blame him. i think the other guy is dumb for jumping in a car with him in the first place if he knew he's a reckles driver. and then, he's an idiot for not wearing his seat belt. so im not in either side, they are both morons.

Actually, the original source didn't quote the entire statement which was on TMZ. Not sure if I see any remorse, but they made sure to point out the victim wasn't wearing his seat belt..

The Audacity -- Hogan Blames Victim For Injuries

Nick's rep, Adam Handelsman, EVP of 5WPR, issued the following statement to TMZ:

"Nick and the entire Hogan Bollea family are saddened that criminal charges have been filed in regards to the tragic single car accident on August 26, 2007.

Nick will meet and answer these charges in the appropriate arena a court of law. The family's primary focus and concern still remains for the continued recovery of Nick's longtime friend John Graziano. The Bolleas will also continue to stand by the Graziano family and help them in any way they can.

The tragedy to both families is compounded by the fact that unfortunately John was not wearing his seatbelt. Thankfully, Nick was wearing his.

Because of what happened to John, the entire Bollea family will make it a priority to increase public awareness about the importance of always wearing your seatbelt. There has been much speculation as to the speed and wet road conditions surrounding this accident. Although all the evidence has not been evaluated, preliminary reports from the experts indicate that this was not, in fact, a high-speed accident. Because Nick is still a juvenile and has no prior criminal record, we are disappointed that he is being charged as an adult offender. However, we are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident.

We ask all who follow these events to keep an open mind as to the facts until they have been ultimately determined. Finally, we thank all who have prayed for John's recovery and ask for your continued support and prayers."

Oh yes, Nick was drinking and speeding, but he doesn't deserve to be punished because the other kid wasn't wearing a seatbelt. If Nick had ran over a kid who was breaking curfew, does it mean that he shouldn't be punished because, after all, the other kid shouldn't have been out so late? What does it matter if the kid was wearing a seatbelt at all? This seems like a calculated attempt on the part of the Hogan's family to deflect blame, and its stupid, in my opinion.

Yesterday I heard that Hulk recently transferred his trademarks to a corporate umbrella Limited Liability Company. So I’m not surprised that his son has finally been charged and rightly so.

Oh, it's calculated alright. But I suspect it may have more to do with their concerns about civil liability, than the criminal case.

I'm sure his friend's family will be filing a major lawsuit for damages at some point, and any admission of negligence might be admitted in court. If they can establish the victim was at least partially responsible for his own damages, it might reduce the $$$ they have to pay.

How about being sad that a young man is GOING TO BE A VEGETABLE FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE due to Nick's horribly reckless actions!!???!!!!! I HATE THE HOGAN FAMILY!!!!

What arrogant, self-centered assholes.

I can't believe that all the Hogan family care about is their son going to jail... he was recklessly driving, he was over the limit and his actions have left another person a permanent vegetable... how callous and arrogant can they possibly be?

If he was my son - thank god he is not - I would have kicked his ass into next week and would not be publicly making excuses for him.

Jail might suck, but I'm fairly certain it's better than being left permanently incapacitated.
