Graziano's Dad: Hogans Are as Fake as Their Hair

76. I despise people like the Hogans just as much as the next person, but let's set the record straight: Nick Hogan is NOT in jail for "what he did to" Graziano. He is 100% responsible for that man's condition (and, in the state of California, at least, it is the DRIVER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR PASSENGERS ARE WEARING A SEATBELT) but he is in prison for reckless driving, Street Racing, and turning his car into a deadly weapon. The fact that Mr. Graziano is now comatose in the hospital is unfortunately nothing more than a very, very sad piece of evidence against Nick Hogan and nothing more.

And, PS, Street Racing collisions should not be car "accidents."

77. It would be different if Nick ran over an innocent guy on the street. Here, the injured guy was his buddy participating with him in the racing in the car. Basically, it seems like they were both idiots.

As for the Hogans being wiped-out financially, I can't believe they didn't have a monster personal liability umbrella policy. They should have had at least a $10 million policy which would be plenty to cover this.

78. Maybe Hulk Hogan had his head beat up in the ring so many times that he is crazy. He did have a few accidents later in his wrestling career that convinced his doctor to advise him to quit wrestling.

79. What you gonna do brother? Hulk, your "Family" is DISFUNTIONAL-DELUSINAL-and HEARTLESS! You all deserve each other!

Good Mom's do there best to raise a well rounded sympathetic, caring, respectful child with manners etc.

Hulk displaying your dew rag in cort was repulsive

Brook looked like she just strolled in from a transsexual convention held at Scores with cut out sleeves and a slit up to legoland.

Linda ? just pathetic with her dis-respect for the cort with dark sunglasses to hide her cover girl black eye liner.

and my fave the trubbled son...NICK, What a fake drug addict spoiled shell of a child & only seventeen? Yeah it will NOT be the first arrest.

It's so shameful the entire family is a stupid shame! I am so sorry for the Mother that Nick put into a negative, vegetative state for life. A war hero. SAD!

80. It amazes me when people defend NIck and try to blame the victim. The ER staff said John had bruises from a seat belt, I believe them, not the Hogans. Nick was the driver, you are responsible for the welfare of everyone in the car, that's the way it is. Yeah, the victim is entitled to compensation, that's all the family wants, compensation for his lifetime care, which will include his parents being there almost 24/7. To anyone who says, "People make mistakes" Well, yeah, the prisons are full of people who claim they "just made a mistake". Those of us here who are outraged have not killed or injured people with our own stupid acts, we don't go around breaking the law, and, you know what? If Nick wasn't famous people would be outraged when they heard, have you never read the paper and thought that a criminal deserved more punishment? Oh sorry, anyone who doesn't think that Nick is a criminal probably isn't reading the paper....
It's not an accident if you're driving drunk, anymore that shooting a person in a fight is okay, ether. 90% of society gets this, and we just think the people who think they can do whatever they want to have to pay the price, that's all.

82. Well, this story has made me sick. In my opinion the entire Hogan family deserves to go to Hell in a hand basket.
Hulk Hogan should tell his son to shut up, accept his punishment and think about what he has done.
Hulk Hogan, should also accept responsibility since he empowered his son to do this, by supplying booze and a vehicle.
Linda Hogan and Brooke Hogan both seem as sharp as a football, they should also keep their mouths shut and think about how they would feel if roles were reversed and Nick was going to spend his life in a hospital bed.
Further, anything involving the Hogan’s as far as current/future entertainment should be boycott until the Hogan’s conduct themselves appropriately.

83. Street racing is no 'accident' and Judge Federico pointed that out at trial. He said he had issue with the term accident used innthis case.
John's costs will be about $50,000 a month for life, he could be this way for many many years.....

84. Linda Hogan's remark about her suffering MOST, is the most selfish, immoral, non-compassionate comment I've heard
in a long time. How dare she say that, when John's mother is sitting at a hospital, worried, heartsick over her son
being a vegatable for the rest of his life! She makes me sick. Damn her, and her spoiled children, too.
As for Nick, the crybaby, not man enough to face reality and think about what his actions did to a human being, is
dispicable.
But, having parents like the Hogans, trying to protect their son from anything ugly and hard, trying everything to
make things better for him, I'm not surprised. I'm glad they have been exposed for who they really are. They
are history with the public!! I say sue the hell outta them!!

85. This entire Hogan family is a disgrace. From there reality tv show to how unatractive brooke really is. Have you ever seen that girl without makeup, scary. I hope the courts get a hold of this new information, and set a new court date entering this latest information. Feel so sorry for the family that are truly the victims.

86. #5 - sgv...As much as I hate the Hogans' I have to admit that you are right. It's not like Nick planned all of this and John is as much at fault as Nick. Nobody forced John into the car and he knew exactly what was going on when he chose to ride along and not wear his seatbelt. It's just that the Hogans seem so oblivious to the magnitude of what has happened. It seems as if Nick hasn't learned anything about the dangers of street racing, at all.

88. Everyone needs to lay off the Hogan's. I just don't understand why everyone blames them so much. John got in the car knowing that Nick was drinking, that he likes to drag race, and he was the one who chose to not wear his seat belt. In my opinion it is his own fault not Nick's. Why is no one questioning Johns actions? It is sad what happened to him but I believe it is just as much John's fault as Nick's. Why ruin two lives? Just because they are famous doesn't mean they should be attacked. Lay off already!!!!

89. The Hogan's are SICK people. I listened to those audio tapes, and those LOSERS believe their LOSER son, is special, or important cause "Hulk Hogan" (you know him, right, the HAS BEEN loser from 1981, that NO ONE gives a crap about anymore?!?!) is his daddy! PULEASE! They think they are above the law! Nick esentially KILLED John, he should be in jail for the rest of his "LIFE" ... not playing "who will i have my new "REAL-ality show with, when im sprung" ... what sick digusting pigs all of them are! I am SO soeet for the Graziano's!
