Hulk Hogan Apologizes 4 Controversial Remarks...Nick's 'Mental State Was Unravelling'

[Pam]

I didn't read all of what was posted here because I saw the interview. I was sickened by the arrogance of this family pretty early on. My "favorite" comment that the son made on one of the taped phone calls was something along the lines of 'you've got to do something, my cell is smaller than my bathroom at home.'

[Medusa]

I'm still reeling over the fact that Hogan said that the accident would make John a better person. Yeah, he looks much better now, hooked up to the ventilator and all. I'm sure he'd say "Much better, thanks, Nick, buddy!", if he could speak, that is. And Nick telling his dad to get things rolling for the reality show tells me that, not only did he not learn anything from the accident, his intentions since then are purely mercenary. Hogan suddenly talking about God's will is laughable. I watched a few episodes on his "reality" show and I don't recall him mentioning God's will ever. Of course Hogan would want to comfort his son while he's in jail; that's only natural. However, if he had taught his son some values to begin with, perhaps none of this would be happening right now and John's father would be able to enjoy the company of his son, rather than hear Nick say that John was "a negative person" and Hogan say that he didn't know what John did to deserve this, that he must have some kind of negative karma. Kids make mistakes, sometimes brutally costly ones, no doubt about it, and everyone is deserving of forgiveness, but Hogan and his son are behaving as though the victim had done something for which to atone! Some Fathers' Day for the parents of these boys, huh? Still, both Hogans got the better of the deal. They get to say "I love you" to each other, knowing that in a few months, they'll be able to hug each other and get on w/their lives. Instead of hearing "I love you, Dad", all John's father is going to hear is the sound of the ventilator and probably the accusatory words of Hogan and his kid playing over and over in his mind.

This story makes me want to take a baseball hat to my head.

I love this story becuase it shows what we have become as a society.

The media, especially Nancy Grace, cannot help but play the tapes of the voicemail threats-complete with read allong text- over and over again during the broadcasts of her show. NG is a media whore of the worst kind.

The AH family for releasing tapes of the guy being given threapy in the hospital. I am of the mind that any person, especially on who has served the country well and is part of the Marine Corp, would balk at having them shown on TV as a helpless vegetable. Shame on that effing family for giving that tape to Grace. It's all a ploy to get money from the Bollea's.

Oh, and I loved that way that Nancy blurred out the dent in this kid's forehead where his brain used to be. God forbid anything happens to your fricking spawn and you show pictures of either kid after they drown in your pool, get run over by a lawnmower or get slimed over the pavement when you drive them around and get into an accident.

I don't know about you, but when I was 23 years old, I didn't hang out with teenagers or kids. This may not be a popular thought, but that Graziano kid is partially to blame. I would be a little hesitant to drive around with some little moron who was drinking and driving, There is no way that a man that young would not know if the operator of the vehicle he was driving in was all tore up.

Nick Bollea is the kind of little punk that will never get the hint. "My bathroom is bigger than my cell", How's about being effing thankful you aren't in there for murder? I'd get on my knees and count out each and every day until I'd get out of there. I have no reason to feel sorry for him. I rear ended a car in a stake bed truck a low speed last year and the airbags didn't go off, thank god. This idiot wrapped that car around a tree and there was no sign of an bag deployment, and I never heard if the passenger had his safety belt on...Hmmm, a cover up, maybe?


------------
I do think that Hogan is responsible for buying the liquor for the kids, but he and his son should betried thru the courts and not the media.

End of story. you created this monster, live with it.

I know there are people who will take a side one way or another, but to me this is a case of having one person doing the right thing and we wouldn't be having a conversation about it.


Too bad, Take responsibility for you actions you won't be in a jam.


Morons, one and all.

Richard, I have thought the same thing, John was 23 and was the adult in the car and he did not have his seatbelt on, also the alcohol was very minimal, most likely just showing off and racing were the cause but I agree why would you be driving around speeding with a 17 year old without a seatbelt?

Psssst.....

Don't let on that you have common sense. It's the trait of an endangered species.
