Hogan Pal Graziano Moved to Vets Hospital

31. Read my lips and repeat

John WAS wearing the seatbelt and Nick took it off before cops showed up !

Doctors found bruise marks on his chest from the force of the belts !

32. And now reading that the standard of care will be lower, that's utter and complete BS. That man deserves better than that. This is so very sad.

33. Vets Hospital? He'll die for sure. Those places are really, really, really BAD.

34. VA Hospital here in ABQ is GREAT.
Agreeing with # 1

35. Hey #30, read my lips: says who? What is your source? Stop making things up it only muddles the issue even further.

I've never seen the Hogan show, is it on VHI, MTV or A&E? Wonder if it will be canceled (like Dog was). From what I've read, it doesn't sound like a popular program.

36. I think the Hogan family should be ashamed of themselves the way they have conducted themselves since this tragic accident. Anyone suggesting that the passenger should have been wearing a seatbelt after such a horrible wreck, and underage drinking to boot, should go hide under a rock and never show their face again. And Nick Hogan should be charged as an adult. On the East Coast of Florida there's a young man sitting in prison for umpteen years because of underage drinking that killed 3 people and he was charged as an adult at age 16. What makes Nick different other than his name and wealth? Yes, no death(s) here but serious injuries nonetheless with an uncertain outcome for his "friend" which could be even worse than death. Perhaps the Florida courts can do what the California courts cannot - find a "celebrity" guilty for their shameful and illegal acts!

37. Ridiculous. This veteran is entitled to the very best care (that doesn't always happen at VA facilities) and he's an innocent victim of a spoiled rich kid.

John should be in the finest rehab center money can buy. And the Hogans should be the ones footing the bill. Forever.

I thought there was an article with John's mom talking about how good the Hogans had been to John and her family. Good="they brought us a bag of McDonald's hamburgers once when we were visiting John."

Nick won't do a minute of jail time. Well, on second thought, he will be tried in Florida ... perhaps a Florida jury will get it ...

Celebrity + $$$$ = no justice for plain folk

38. I thought the Hogan's were going to take care of John's medical expenses, and make sure he had the best care possible?

Now he's being moved to a VA Hospital, where unfortunately the care is lacking (which is a terrible thing for our veterans but don't get me started on that one) and the American taxpayers are going to foot the bill for John's medical expenses, instead of good ole Nick Hogan and his parents.

Both the Hogan's just keeping looking better and better don't they ...Like how they've assumed responsibility, and its easy to see why Nick is the way he is, like he's OWED something and why should he take responsibility for his actions?

Oh right, I forgot, according to Nick, John just "hurt his head."

Pony up Hogan's, quit blaming others for your p*ss-poor parenting and the fact that your loser, irresponsible twerp of a son basically killed someone. What happened to paying for John's expenses?

What a bunch of hypocritical, self-absorbed, POS the Hogan family really and truly is. At this point, I really wish it would've been Nick who "hurt his head", and saved the rest of the world from this self-indulgent little pr*ck.

39. Taxpayers were paying for his care regardless...he's military which means that the government foots the bill no matter what hospital or doctor he sees. Moving him is more cost effective because they have their own doctors at the VA. It's too bad Nick and his family haven't stepped up to provide private care for this poor boy...apparently it's true that money and can't buy you a heart (or conscience).

40. He doesnt even care what happened to his friend, hes a spoiled ROTTEN brat, i hope his friends family sues the hogans.

41. Parents don't want to be parents, they want to be best friends with their kids. The Hogans need to stop trying to keep up appearances and face the music. Nick is an idiot, and he should face the consequences and if he gets off then this really proves that there is no justice. If Nick was a regular kid he would be in jail right now.

42. The Hogans said they were paying the expenses and lied by not telling the whole truth.

Here's how the Hogan's work: They were cited with having 25 animals and the town of Belleair's code said that there could be no more than 5 animals. They had the audacity to tell the city officials that they understood that as each person in the household could have 5 animals each, so therefore, they weren't breaking the law. In an interview, Hulk the jerk stated "we just want to live in peace. We're not pushing our celebrity on anyone."

43. Me, no the military does not pay your expenses regardless, only if there is not another source. They actually pay as a last resort. On the seat belts, the marine was required to wear one at all times while on a military installation and I'm sure sat thru many safety briefings where this was stressed. Usually people who are forced to wear seat belts eventually get in the habit of always fastening them. The only source I have seen that says he was not wearing a belt was the Hogan family. I doubt Nick was fast thinking enought to unfasten it at the scene so I'm keeping an open mind until a more reliable source makes the issue clear. Even if he was not wearing a belt the driver should have been aware of that fact and made a effort to drive in a safe fashion. A kid who is old enough to drive should have known better.

44. WITH THE MONEY THE HOGANS SPEND AND MAKE, THEY COULD HAVE FOOTED THE BILL FOR GRAZIANO TO STAY AT THE HOSPITAL. HOW SAD, I HOPE GRAZIANO CAN SUE THEM AND GET THE $ HE DESERVES!

45. This is soo sad!! John needs the best care there is! I don't mean to dis the VA Hospitals, tho they are shamefully lacking!

The Hogan's should see to it that John is getting the treatment he deserves in a top notch facility!

I'm soo sorry for this young Marine!

Nick it is time to STAND UP and be a MAN!!
