61. Its sad to say but they need to pull the plug on his "friend" before this goes to trial so he can be charged with manslaughter. The guys going to die anyways and I guarantee the hospital bills that the hulkster is taking care of is to make sure that they dont pull the plug. Cant be tried twice for the same crime.

62. Do not pull the plug! They can charge Nick with anything from wreckless endangerment to attempted manslaughter before his friend dies ... and then after he dies they can charge him with murder. Two different crimes, so it does not violate the double jeopardy law.

63. opi - It is the personal responsibility to of the driver to ensure the safety of all passengers. This includes not driving wrecklessly as well as making sure all seatbelts are fastened prior to turning the engine over - one of the first lessons I taught my teen driver.

The lack of seatbelt did not cause the accident, wreckless driving did. Though I have to admit that if John had been wearing a seatbelt his injuries quite possibly would have been less severe.

Whether or not Nick loses his license, he will still be out there driving. The Hogans believe they are above the law ... and so far nothing has been done to prove otherwise.

66. I hope they throw the book at this kid, maybe then will he and his parents realize the seriousness of the situation. Spoiling a kid rotten with no consequences for bad decisions and poor actions is not parenting. His "deer friend" is a vegetable in a hospital bed because of Nicks reckless driving and here he is at a car show, WTF???

70. You would think that some where on that strip that they raced their car on that a camera would be available. All those businesses around there and no camera picked up what happened?

71. Hulk Hogan was names "Father of the Year" well then why in the hell would a father allow his son a souped up car to drive on the streets when any parent knows that any teenage boy wants a racey car to drive on the streets so they can show off and ESPECIALLY Nick who drives race cars off the streets, should NOT have been allowed to have any kind of a sporty car that he feels he can show off in on the streets. What sadly happened was partly his parents fault!!!!! I have an 17 yr old son that needed a car and of course the cars he was interested in were the firebirds, mustangs, etc. But I knew that if he had any of those types of cars the chances of him wanting to race someone or speed were 100% likely so I said "no" and got him a Ford Explorer. Not that it would guarantee nothing like this could happen but the chances are less because of the type of car. "Father of the Year" I don't think so . . .

72. #59 I absolutely agree with your comments. TMZ reporting has shown numerous driving violatoins, a total disregard for the law, and he continues to have a licence and no apparent consequences for his actions?? I truly do not understand how his blatant disregard for safety and total lack of concern for a "friend" that he has destroyed thru careless and reckless driving can be tolerated by his family. His behavious is OPPOSITE of all things that the racing world hold individuals accountable for driving conduct on the PUBLIC roads.

I am outraged at the double standard from the law enforcement, the lack of responsibility by this punk, or his family........and that people continue to support such low life trailor trash by watching VH1. I personally turned the chanell off several months ago.......altho I was not a Hogan fan and did not watch the Hogan show......I will not support any aspect of VH1 when this is the type of show/people being glorified.

75. Well, I am still upset on how this "CHILD" can avoid justice and be at these car shows that he loves,But I feel better knowing that Polariod dropped his sorry ass. I feel that t is because we all banded together and sent emails and calls about our disgust with them sponsoring this "CHILD". Now I have called and emailed NOPI and told them that they should drop their sponsorship of this "CHILD" or they will loss me and thousand others as a patron to the NOPI shows which I must say I do love to attend. Everyone should do the same. We may not be well off like this "CHILD" but when companies gain to loss money they change their minds at times,. Look at POLARIOD.... Now I will byuy their products again.
