46. Wow,, I cannot believe all the comments stating: "It's about time"
all the comments stating spoiled rich kid etc,,,
the facts are,, Nick was a minor at the time of accident,, wearing his seatbelt,, the adult passenger did not wear his seat belt,, they were great friends as well,
I'm sure Nick loves his dear friend and would never wish harm on him.. it was an accident! and does not matter how much money Nick's family has,, an accident is an accident!!
I grew up in a small town where kids always drove fast,, even the cops kids,, and they always had accidents,, but did not serve jail time for the injuries passengers received in the car crashes,, it's very sad to see people hurt from speeding,,
but I do not feel Nick should serve jail time,,
he will live with this guilt the rest of his life and that is enough!!
you lynch mob people are nuts!! and sad!!!
you would hang all the rich kids that made a mistake,,
sad sad sad!!!

47. These boys were old enough to know better, they were stopped previously for speeding. Nick Bollea is to blame for this accident and deserves all the punishment he gets. The Graziano family should file a malicious intent lawsuit, driving to endanger, etc.

Don't feel any sympathy for any of them. Drive with the big boys you deserve the consequences.

50. His license needs to be revoked immediately ..... and for a l-o-n-g time ..... so he's not going to hurt someone else. This was not his first rodeo, and his punishment should be decided in a court of law. I say ban him from driving for 10 years, and let daddy get him a driver if he needs to go to the unemployment office!

51. I find it out of line for Nick, his family, and all his people to only focus on the fact that John was not wearing his seatbelt. Yes he maybe should have been, but that is not what caused the crash. Nick thinking that he can drive at crazy speeds and lost control is what caused it. Take responsibility and stop blaming it on your friend who will be strapped to a bed forever.

52. The Hogan's are in denial. They think their kids are perfect and innocent. Like they are not drinking and having sex!! Nick had several chances and Terry and Linda continued to let him get away with speeding. His friend's life is Over. He will live a life worse than death being a vegetable. The Hogans have not come out with an apology or sorrow. They are trying to pay off the family instead. My God Dog the Bounty Hunter is more sorry for saying the N word than Nick is for paralyzing his best friend. Pay back is a bitch and they will pay in the end!!

53. Am I the only one, or does it sound like the Hogans are blaming the passenger for his condition? Try driving the speed limit! Let's put the responsibility where it is due.

56. I think its sad ...Two families are ripped at the seams due to 2 young men making 2 really stupid choices .Nick should have told John to put the seatbelt on ,yet John should have put it on without being told .Then Nick chooses to "race" a rogue vehical and crashes !!!
I think it is sad that it happened period ,I wouldn't want to be either parent or child in this situation ....

57. Did anyone else notice they alluded to the fact that John wasnt wearing a seatbelt?? So its his fault that Nick was excessively speeding and he was thrown from the car?? That poor boy will be a vegetable for the rest of his life because of Nick Hogans reckless disregard for the speed limit. I thank God it was a one car accident. If they had hit someone at that rate of speed, everyone would have probably been killed. Sad situation for everyone involved.

Posted at 10:20AM on Nov 7th 2007 by WTF?? Blame the victim??

58. My heart absolutely bleeds for the Graziano family... To think you have a young, healthy perfect son, and now he's practically gone. That really saddens me.

Even if they get all the money the Hogan/Boellas have, that doesn't make up for the fact that they've truly lost their son. I couldn't imagine sitting there looking at my son like that. I pray that by the grace of God he makes a speedy recovery.

59. I am certain they are disappointed that their son has to face charges, as they thought he would whistle as he walked away. I don't hear how devastated they feel over the IRREVERSABLE HARM CAUSED TO ANOTHER PERSON. Only when they are AFFECTED by the consequences of their harmful action, due they acknowledge the incident. The entire family are SKANKS.
