"CLEARWATER, Fla. - A judge in Florida says the 17-year-old son of wrestler Hulk Hogan should serve eight months in jail for reckless driving. Nick Bollea was led off to begin his sentence immediately after Friday's ruling. He will be on five years' probation and lose his driving privileges for three years. Authorities say Bollea was racing a friend in his father's sports car when he clipped a curb, spun out of control and slammed into a palm tree in downtown Clearwater, Florida, last August. The impact left his friend critically injured and in need of lifetime medical care. Bollea pleaded no contest to the reckless driving charge."

while i appreciate your n00b retort

just think next time that everything that you think is [new] is already [old]

i guess some celebs don't have as much 'influence' on the judicial system.

doubt he is much more of a "celeb" than say, wesley snipes.

5/11/2008 5:44:48 PM

^^ his dad's statements to the court asked that they not give him special treatment because of him being Hulk's son, and just asked that they treat him fairly (aka not try to make an example out of a celeb's kid)

5/11/2008 5:48:10 PM

you know once he turns 18, he's gonna be out on his ass. Daddy's little trust fund won't go to him.

5/11/2008 7:11:18 PM

good. fuck the little asshole.

"his dad's statements to the court asked that they not give him special treatment because of him being Hulk's son"

just the fact that he had to say that to the court says a lot about the justice system.

5/11/2008 7:15:43 PM

him and his dad are pretty tight. mommy fucked everything up.

5/11/2008 7:15:47 PM

like we didn't know it was already fucked up

5/11/2008 7:17:02 PM

^^^fuck him for what? it's a bad situation and nick made poor choices, but lets keep the facts clear. his passenger wasn't innocent. he knew what was going on, and he chose to ride. it sucks he's got to live with that decision the rest of his life, but ultimately he's responsible for his actions. no one forced him into the car, and he didn't get in under the impression they were going for a leisurely sunday drive. he also wasn't even wearing his seatbelt.

prosecute and sentence him based on the wreckless driving/street racing, but to let the sob story of his passenger influence the decision isn't fair imo. comparatively, 8 months is extremely excessive even considering his past driving history. the kid obviously needs a wake up call, but i'm not sure that 8 months in jail is the answer. he's effectively being punished for his friends injury, which i don't think is acceptable. we all know the sentence would have been MUCH different had his friend walked away also, even with minor injuries. hell, his friend might have even been sitting in court with him as an accomplice.

8 months might fuck him up worse than he is already...

5/12/2008 1:45:53 AM

i hope he gets raped by black dudes and turns into a spokesman for the kkk...now THAT would make for good tv...fuck that gay ass tv show

5/12/2008 1:46:56 AM

wait, his friend didn't wear a seatbelt?! I bet a 98 Supra is actually decently safe for a sports/touring car. I'm sure it has dual airbags and crumple zones and stuff, plus it's not a tiny thing like a Miata. That's probably why Nick didn't get too hurt. I've driven a 93 Mk IV and it seemed solid enough.

5/12/2008 9:54:29 PM

^no seatbelt. nick was wearing his. the initial report also estimated they were only going ~60mph in a 40mph zone, and that wet roads were the primary contributing factor, not excessive speed. as far as i know, that didn't change as the investigation progressed.

5/12/2008 11:52:35 PM

i thought i read somewhere where he was going like 120mph and it was sunny and he was racing

5/12/2008 11:53:19 PM

^^^car being and feeling solid has nothing to do with safety. great majority of full size trucks feel solid, but fare horribly in crash tests. but...yeah, supra is decently safe car, but probably less safe than, say, new corolla.

[Edited on May 12, 2008 at 11:56 PM. Reason : h]

5/12/2008 11:56:24 PM

^^it was like 7:30pm. the roads were wet. i don't think an exact speed was ever proven, just an estimate of 60mph+. the guy he was racing admitted to hitting ~100mph before letting off, but that doesn't prove nick was. he had to be behind the other guy, because he crossed from the curbside lane to the median. nick claimed to only have been going 30-40mph, but the accident photos make that pretty hard to believe.

i'm betting the boost came on hard early-mid 2nd gear (60-70mph probably?), tires broke loose, and he lost it. even on dry pavement, a big single supra on street tires can get away from you in a hurry when it spools. it's like an on/off switch.

either way, all that is beside the point. his passenger chose not to wear a seatbelt, and he had to know how the driving was going to be.

[Edited on May 13, 2008 at 12:47 AM. Reason : look at the car pics too... driver side even took the brunt of the impact.]

5/13/2008 12:43:38 AM

who races with a passenger? sure, street racing is kind of a no-big-deal kind of thing, but if you actually wanted to win, adding another 150lbs isnt the way to go.

fuck the kid anyways. i saw the 1 episode where he wanted to be a drift (the sliding thing) racer and his dad bought him a racing car. all the other contestants were pissed. it essentially amounted to straight up cheating. and then he crashed it like, twice?

5/13/2008 8:20:51 AM

well, if they were racing "for real" a passenger could have been part of the negotiations. it frequently is to even cars out. i highly doubt that was the case though, this was just friends dicking around.

5/13/2008 8:26:17 AM

wow this nick guy is way unbeleivable

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2008/05/28/sbt.hogan.tapes.cnn

what a selfish ignorant pussy. i hope they DO put him in a cell with other people, maybe THEn he'll get an asswhooping and straighten out. cause Hulk ain't gonna do it

5/28/2008 11:38:33 AM

personally I have no sympathy for the other kid. He's just a big of a douche bag if he's running in the same circles and also put himself in that situation. He made a bad decision (they both did).

and for the news to be all over this just tells me that the media is 110% worthless and should burn in hell.

5/28/2008 1:20:21 PM

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha i'm about 3 minutes in...video is great

5/28/2008 11:51:53 PM

(CNN video didn't work for me, but I am listening to something on Youtube right now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-GyqgOxV4g) I Haven't listened to every minute of the stuff, but at the beginning here he is just really upset (Crying etc) about being in some kind of solitary confinement, so I'll address that for a second.

I'm not going to defend Nick, but he's what, 18 and in some kind of solitary confinement(ish)? That'll fuck you up in the head especially at that age. It's like one night he got behind the wheel of his dad's super cool sports car, a high schooler's dream come true, and now he's in a nightmare and he can't wake up...
Once again, not defending him or saying he didn't deserve jail, but I can understand how that would make him act hysterically especially in [what he thought was] a private conversation with his own mother. And his mom was just being a mom, saying comforting words etc.

5/29/2008 12:08:59 AM

^oh man u got to figure out a way to get the cnn video...its like 9 minutes long...dont know how long the youtube ones are...but they highlight the good shit like them discussing a reality show for when he gets out(and they mention wanting to make money)...his mom is like "i'm worse off than his mom"(speaking about the dude that is in a vegatative state for his whole life), couple other things..i think hogan calls the vegetative state dude like "negative"

5/29/2008 12:16:02 AM

so basically any kind of 1/2 sympathy I had for him in the first minute should disappear. got it.

5/29/2008 12:20:34 AM

best part was when hulk said god was punishing the veggie because he was a bad person

5/29/2008 6:28:52 AM

he won't serve 8 months, hell he might not serve 4.

this dude in my HS drunk drove with his friends in the car, KILLED one of his friends, and only got sentenced to 90 days. he did 30.

the 'solitary confinement' they talk about isn't like what you see in the old prison movies, with water dripping on you and dogfood being served on a rusty steel tray underneath the door. he'll do a lot of reading, a lot of thinking and probably won't learn a damn thing from the experience.

I knew a guy who drove drunk, ran from the cops, turned his headlights off in the middle of the chase, and crashed into a house; killing one person and severely injuring two more. I don't remember exactly how much time he served, but it wasn't much at all. Once he got out he dressed up like a woman and tried to rob a bank. All that time in prison and that's the best he could come up with.

5/29/2008 10:30:50 AM

the best part is he doesn't know how to say "reality" he says it "real ity"

5/29/2008 10:44:31 AM

It's like he didn't realize jail was going to suck.
It is punishment. It's going to suck.

And take responsibility for your actions. Both he and his dad seem to think that it is all the vegetable's fault. Yes, I'm sure God struck down on the vegetable and your poor son just happened to be the innocent victim of God's wrath because he was driving at the time.

5/29/2008 10:47:16 AM

^^haha yeah


part of me almost thinks even this is just a way to get publiicity...i cant imagine anyone being so dumb as to say those things

"Traffic violations Since September 2006, within the first year of obtaining his license, Bollea was ticketed four times.[10] In 2007, he gave an interview with Rides in which he talked about his habit of driving fast on public roads. In this interview he said that he was driving a silver Viper between Miami and Tampa when he was pulled over three times for driving in excess of 100 mph. Bollea told the interviewer that the final stop — the only one resulting in a ticket — he was driving 123 mph in a 50 mph zone.[3] The events described in the interview do not match police records.[11] His mother has said that the interview was exaggerated.[5] The ticket which most closely resembles the events described in the Rides interview is a September 26, 2006 citation showing that he was driving a Mercedes (not a Viper), was stopped twice (not three times), and was ticketed for going 115 mph (not 123 mph) in a 70 mph zone (not a 50 mph zone).[11][12] On February 8, 2007, he was ticketed in Dade County, Florida for driving 57 mph in a 30 mph zone, and on April 25, 2007, he was ticketed and received four points on his license for driving 106 mph in a 70 mph zone in Osceola County.[11] On August 10, 2007, he was ticketed in Pinellas Park after his 1998 Toyota was recorded going 82 mph in a 45 mph construction zone.[11]"

1) did you ever see me defend the justice system of SA?
2) 2 wrongs don't make a right
3) the faults of the justice system of SA are not my fault, neither should i be made to feel guilty because of them
4) i have spoken up against the justice system of SA, but obviously, you are just a knee-jerker
