Happy Birthday Nick: Welcome to Big People Jail

Turning 18 has its benefits -- you get to vote, you can join the Army, and, if you're Nick Bollea, you get transferred to the adult section of jail.

Bollea, who has been housed with other juveniles at Pinellas County Jail, will be moved to the adult portion of the facility on Sunday, aka his 18th birthday. It's an open dormitory type of setting where he'll be in close contact with other adult inmates. The inmates are either awaiting sentencing or have already been sentenced in cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.

The only way this won't go down is if a judge orders otherwise. He'll be released sometime in October.

152. I'm praying for the victim in all of this--John Graziano, the young man that died as a result of Nick's stupidity and ignorance. I also hope that prison has opened Nick's eyes and that he will learn a lot from his jail stint.

153. "AtotheK", as in AK47? Yeah, you're a winner. And did I seriously see BaD KaRaMa threaten someone with a missile? Isn't that against some kind of rule? It should be!!!! Marines need to come up with better ways of dealing with their anger and frustration. Not everything should come down to guns, bombs, and violence. Put down the gun and USE YOUR BRAIN. When you're not at war, you're not at war. Don't you freaks get that? You're a bunch of sub-human neanderthals. This world's supposedly been civilized for how long now? Somebody missed the memo!

154. I'm easily disturbed by the sight of icky medical things, but that video was nothing. It looked fake. They said they were planning on putting his skull back together, right? Why would it be all healed looking? That accident was less than a year ago, and it looks like he was born with a head like that. Also, if you compare that "non-pixelated" video to the original video, they look nothing a like. TMZ hasn't announced the fact that there's an unedited video of John, they haven't released pics from it, and it hasn't been on any news channel I've seen. THE VIDEO IS BOGUS

155. Why would anybody drive with a drunk driver? Or with someone you knew was going to drive 100 miles an hour?
Because to most young kids this is COOL. Speeding, drag racing, drinking all fun. We had all done it at one time or another, God was with most of us and nobody got hurt, somebody got hurt in Nik's case, That is a terrible tragedy. I guess he should be punished he injured someone for life? But yet, he was just being a 17 year old as his friend was being, neither thought of anything bad happening.
I would love to see him spend half of his life going to High schools, colleges and showing what speed can do, I don't think the your drivers under 20 understand that yet.

159. What I don't think people realize is that while yeah, he made a mistake, so did the other kids. Each one of them made a choice that night. Graziano made the choice to get in a car with someone who had been drinking (underage) and who was known to drive fast. He made the choice not to wear his seatbelt. We all know what the consequences of are decisions are, and he was no different. I am not saying that Nick in not at fault, but let's be honest and put the blame on both parties!

160. Brenda, did you say spoiled brat enough? At least you let your true motive be known! Most of you people don't really care about John Graziano, you just care about bullying a rich kid. Is the envy getting to you that bad? Don't sit around all jealous. Get off your fat arses and make your own dreams come true. Stop voting for C average students that will destroy your economy. Quit trying to punish a kid for your short comings in life. He was born into what he has, he didn't ask for it, and it's really not working to his advantage anymore. I swear, ALL Americans are braindead.
