minimum 85% jail term.... so no less then 6 months. He deserves it, and more....

[HeilSvenska]

Yeah... Kinda expected this. Drunk street racing with a car an illegal tinted windows... Not going to go well.

[RC45]

Although, in the grand scheme of things, he has youth, inexperience and testosterone as a valid defence.

Ho wmany uber-wealthy "pilars of the community" haven't killed people in drunk driving accidents and got away scot-free because of political contacts and wealth - and they hav no excuses really.

He is getting the proverbial book thrown at him becasue of his celebrity - seesm like the media, public and judicial system take great glee in building up and then trashing "celebs" - but have no issue with continually supporting corrupt politicians, business and civic leaders.

Still, a sad situation all round - and he had to face some kind o fmusic for the deed.

Its amazing how quickly life can turn sour. Drunken street racing though? come on, he got off easy...

I don't know how he ever became an actual competitor (even if it was just for one or two events). Poor Hubinette's Viper.
Nick Hogan Crash - YouTube

I'm probably being a bit too harsh, but I don't feel very sorry for him. I feel really bad for other guy and his family though.

The guy's been ticketed for speeding at least 4 times before the Supra crash.
115 mph in a 70 mph zone
57 mph in a 30 mph zone
106 mph in a 70 mph
82 mph in a 45 mph construction zone

Yet no one took his license or his keys away. Fools.

That's one of the keys to the issue - the "adults" in the system, allowed it to escelate to this level before they did anything remotely serious to address the recklessness.

82 in a 45 construction zone!!:ohmy:

im still laughing at the name of this thread tho...'making his buddy a vegtable'
poor vegtable buddy... saw on the news today the guys mom said nick described it as 'a bump on the head' sigh...

The main thrust of this sentence is not the 8 months in prison, but the 5 years probation. He can't fuck up for the next five years, or he'll be back in the prison for sure.

[pagani]

Maby he will learn his lesson now just like everybody else

I somehow doubt it. The court videos we're pretty dramatic though, wow.

[Mattk]

Well he'll have to learn his lesson if he's going to survive his five years probation without getting sent back to prison.

I've been driving cars for 8 years (ya ya, not "that" long") ... and I've managed to never have a speeding ticket even... have I learned my lesson?

Yeah, but you didn't have the "Pussy Magnet".

just saw on the news hulk is in the middle of a divorce with the wife, dating girls his daughter's age...sigh *DOPE!!*

[philip]

Sometimes stories do not have happy endings. This was one of those.

Sentence seems about right. Sentence friend got was way too harsh.

Most of us are lucky enough to not be rich and young.

Hulk Hogan was a brilliant wrestler for thw WWF and WCW but his son has allways done stuff stupid but this take the buscuit.

That divorce was all a scam to give the family some sympathy. And their daughter was involved in an accident just the other day. So lets not drive with the Hogans. :-D

[Mk4UmHa]

That indeed sucks for Hogan making a mistake.

[SHIZL]

u think with their money they coulda afforded a roll cage and some harnesses and hes not going to prison he will be going to some min security jail that allows him to be released for work release everyday probably, probation will be tough for that knucklehead but he will have none of the same problems as the most of people getting out of jail and having nothing and nobody helping alot of people do a lot more time then that for killing there friends

Five years of not getting a driving offence? That's a good achievement for anyone. This mad bloke is not going to last unless he opts not to drive.
