yeah, don't get me wrong, i think they should crucify drunk drivers who cause bodily injury/death to others, be it passanger, other driver or pedestrian.
I've lost two friends to drunk drivers so far in my life, one was riding his bicycle at 8am on a Saturday.
But if you get in a car with someone you know has been drinking, you've just lost innocent victim status.

That's what makes the whole thing so disturbing. I don't know if you've heard Nick's taped jail conversations but it's disgusting.

Here's the bullet points:

It's his son, what exactly do you expect him to do? He's not trying to completely negate it or his son's culpability, he's just trying to help his own flesh. If you're not the victim's family and cop attitude over a private conversation between father and incarcerated son, you don't have enough serious shit in your life to help you have perspective. They weren't laughing and joking about it or making light of it at all, just a somber conversation between father and son with the dad trying to make his son feel better. For those saying God doesn't do fucked up things to people to make them better, read the Bible, he does it pretty much every book; a father trying to comfort his son in private has every right to draw on that.

Illuminator, it's not unreasonable. You as the driver are responsible for all in your vehicle. In short, the law forces you to have a policy of "no belt, no ride" or be willing to pony up the extra costs of dealing with dumb asses who feel too cool to wear a safety belt or whatever excuse short of pregnancy. If you don't like it, work it out between you and the passenger but the law is focusing on the primary responsible party, the captain of the ship so to say.

When a victim has a resonable way to avoid trouble and doesn't take it, he shouldn't be allowed to completely shirk that responsibility. If you know the driver is about to do something stupid and you get in the car and compound it with your own stupidity, you've pretty much given up all rights to bitch when something goes wrong. Just because you got hurt doesn't absolve you of your own culpability nor does it force me to feign sympathy for you being a dumbass.

I read Nick was did not blow over the legal limit but did have a BAC.... therefore had been drinking. Also, I read JOHN (whom is of age to buy) was with Nick that night drinking. too...so.....

I just read all his conversations in jail and they are disgusting. But when you live like he has and treated like a spoiled brat what do expect???

Your reading is incorrect. He blew over the legal limit and the drinking did not occur at night, it was during the day on a boating trip with his father.

On August 26th, Hulk Hogan's son Nick was terribly injured in a car crash in Florida. Also in the crash was Nick's friend, John Graziano, who was critically injured after the car smashed into the median, flipped over and finally crashed into a palm tree. Later that fall, the wrestling champ's son was charged with reckless driving, having a blood alcohol level of .02 or higher and having tinted windows on his Toyota Supra.

On May 9th, after pleading "no contest," Nick Hogan (nee Bollea) was sentenced to eight months in prison. He was also charged with five years probation and one hundred hours community service per year. In addition, Nick must attend a DUI school and is forbidden to drink alcohol for the duration of his probation. Hulk and daughter Brooke begged the judge for leniency but John's family and girlfriend asked for punishment. His mother said, "I'm not seeking revenge. Only justice." John was in a coma after the accident and will probably need lifelong care.

Is he under-age? Is that why the legal limit is .02?
Cause as far as I know the normal legal limit is .08...

Niber · 06-24-2008, 11:54 PM

He's 19 I believe.

Did you listen to the conversation? Because there was nothing somber about it.

The legal limit is .02... The limit enforced by the DMV is .08. A cop can give you a DUI at .02, if he feels that you were driving in an unsafe or reckless manner, but any BAC over .08 is an automatic citation.

It's a coincidence that I know that >.>

Most of that tape was taken out of context as well, the original was 2 hours or so.
