Hogan: I'm Banned from Seeing My Crash Victim

Nick Hogan hasn't visited the kid he left paralyzed for life since he left prison -- but it's not for a lack of trying.

Nick was rolling in Vegas, when he told our cameras the reason he hasn't seen John Graziano -- who's been in a vegetative state since Nick's August, 2007 car crash -- is because John's family has refused to let him into the hospital.

But here's the million dollar question: Do you really blame them?

16. I would hear the ban from the hospital people or from one of the Graziano's before I believed this. Nick and his whole family are consumate liars and not to be believed about anything.

It was an accident, both of them can be blamed for somethings, but a real man would have stood by his friend and Nick does not have any man in him as far as I can see. Nick is a discusting spoiled brat and momma's boy with limited brains and he deserves all the contempt he is getting.

17. After some of the nasty and stupid things that were said about the victim, who can blame the family? If it were one of my sons, I would not let the Hogan brat within a mile of him. The punk and his mommy did their best to smear and blame only the victim, the punk has never andmore then likely never will take any responsibility for his actions.

18. I agree with #11 and #13 - John chose to be with Nick, do you think that was the first time they raced someone? I'm sure not! If John were able to communicate - what do you think he would say? I think he would say it wasn't completely Nick's fault......Nick just happened to be the one who was not hurt as badly.......

19. I agree 100%, it was an accident and these things do happen. As a mother I can't imagine banning my child's friend from the hospital. There is no healing that way for anyone. I have made bad choices in my life that luckily weren't life threatening, but definately could have been. And on the other hand, if my child were in jail and then released I would be thrilled and would want to celebrate his homecoming. I can't imagine a parent in the world that wouldn't. I pray for both of these families, mistakes were made, and forgiveness is part of the healing process.

20. If they won't let him see John it's no wonder. After all the crap the Hogans have said they don't deserve to even be in the same town. Johns fault for hanging with that crowd and not wearing a seatbelt but the Hogans don't need to be saying the crap they were saying!!

21. Nick Hogan is a spoiled little rich boy. He shows NO REMORSE! It's absolutely disgusting and I don't blame the Graziano family.

23. I think we are all right. Nick is a spoiled jerk and John chose not to wear a seatbelt. All in all, with the attitude Nick and his family have shown, I wouldn't let him see John either! Nick sadly seems to be one of those cases in which someone never learns.

24. "NICK SAID ON THE PHONE TO HIS DAD THAT " JOHN WAS A VERY NEGATIVE PERSON" AND THEN THE "HULK" SAYING " HE MUST HAVE DONE SOME REALLY BAD S--T FOR GOD TO DO THIS TO HIM." PATHETIC !"

Their taped phone conversations were enough to show that this family has no remorse. This kid needs to do serious time! Someone can go away for years for carrying around a little bit of dope that only hurts them, but get trashed, hop in a car and ruin someone's life forever and you only get a couple of months. WTF is wrong with our judicial system? Not only does he get away with no time, but they have fought covering medical expenses and helping out John's family during this time, hording the family money all to themselves. It would be different if the Whorgan's were trying to stand up and find the best medical care for this kid and allowing his parents to be there with him around the clock helping to support them. They choose to turn their backs and fight it blaming it on them. Disgusting.

Too bad they don't have any idea who God is. That is a lie straight out of Satan's mouth that God would do that to him. It is a delusion. Hulk Hogan disgusts me more than his son as he is supposed to speak Truth as the head of his household. They have said they believe in God...where is their fruit of the Spirit that shows itself in every believer? Where is their undying devotion to the Graziano family to help in whtever need they may have as the body of Christ is supposed to? ...they carry on as idol worshippers. God has prevented them from seeing Truth because they have refused Him in Spirit following after their own desires and not His. It was Nick's influence and covering of the enemy that they found it appropriate to get behind the wheel of the car drunk. If Nick was following the path of goodness and mercy that God had laid out before him none of this would have happened. He has sold his soul along with the rest of his greedy family.

2 Thess:2-9
9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion So THAT THEY WILL BELIEVE THE LIE 12and so that ALL WILL BE CONDEMNED who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

1 Cor:9-11

9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were.

Unless they truly change and become "unlike" them then Christ can't do the cleansing, reginerating work that He is capable of. Scripture says draw near to me and then I will draw near to you. God doesn't force Himself on people, He doesn't need to, because once they realize that He is the only one who will ever satisfy their cravings, and that HE is the only person that will never disappoint them or let them down, their hearts change and they never go back.

25. I would let him in one time to see what he did. Then I wouldn't let him again. Maybe seeing John will really open his eyes.

26. Again everyone including the parents of John keep forgetting that John got into that car of his OWN free will it was a stupid accident that Nick I am sure never thought would happen & he will have to live with what did happen his whole life. I think that Johns parents are thinking only of their grief & not how their son would feel if he could tell them. Nick was HIS best friend maybe it would do some good for him to see him. I think they just want to keep punishing Nick for an accident & if they dont let it go they are gonna be very unhappy people that live a very unhappy life.!!!!!!!

27. I am so tired of hearing people say that John was the adult. John chose to get in the car. John chose to not wear a seatbelt. Nick was the driver, and it's the driver's responsibility for the safety of his passengers. Apparently, the state of Florida was under the assumption that Nick was enough of a responsible "adult" to issue him a driver's license.

If you get on a bus or a subway train and the driver speeds and crashes into something, and the passengers are hurt because they were not wearing a seatbelt (because there aren't any on buses or subway trains) or because you were an adult and made the choice to ride public transportation, is it the passengers' fault they got hurt or the driver's?

John has paid the ultimate price for his choice. Nick, on the other hand, got only eight months, and is free to go out and maim (or kill) someone else. He's free to make money from some "real-ality" show, and spend time with is friends and family. He still has his skull and is not being kept alive by machines. However, John still has more brains than Nick ever will.

29. Forgiveness is a hard thing to give, But in order for them to have a little peace they need to forgive Nick for his role in their son's condtion.
