I am a “Hogan Knows Best” fan. I have watched the family and loved the show from the beginning. They truly love each other and I can see that the Hulk lives for his kids.

I hate to say it, but it appears that the parents have dropped the ball. I know the Hulk wants to be cool to his kids, but you have to be a parent even when it sucks (and trust me it does with teenagers). With Nick’s driving record he should have lost his license long before now. I would have been grounded for life (if I lived at all) if my parents found out I was busted driving over 100 MPH.

I have a 15 year old and he knows he won’t get his driver’s license this year until I know FOR CERTAIN that he respects the people riding in the cars around him. I point them out all the time and say, “That is someone’s mom, someone’s dad, someone’s baby, someone’s grandmother!”

We all forget that sometimes. There are entire families that love the people driving around you every day. Every person is loved and the people that love them will be devastated if something happens to them.

My son also knows that his grades must remain very high, he has to be kind to his little brother (if he can’t be kind to him how can he respect people on the road that he doesn’t know?) and I need to see that he has a good sense of responsibility. Lives are at stake and parents need to consider this before they let their kids drive off.

John Graziano

John Graziano was the passenger in the car and the reports here in Florida say that his condition has not improved. I think Nick is taking a lot more heat than most because John is a U.S. Marine. The fact that he served in Iraq just adds more fuel to the fire. Americans have deep respect for our soldiers and they should. My husband is a former Marine and I know that John Graziano has done a lot for our country.

I know a lot of people are saying John was 22 and he should have told Nick to stop. I know a lot of people are slamming Nick. The truth is none of us know anything about what really happened. There were observers, but when you are standing watching cars go by you cannot determine how fast a car is going.

Nick Hogan

We do know Nick was driving fast and I know he will live with this major mistake for the rest of his life. I also know that this is a lot for a 17 year old to handle. He has the accident, the guilt and the entire world commenting on his mistake. How much more will drive this kid over the edge? To the news and press, back off a bit, please. This is a child we are talking about.

Even if Nick was driving 90 miles an hour and crashed the car I can’t say this accident is completely his fault.

We have laws in place and the court system should have considered a 16 year old kid getting busted driving over 100 MPH twice! Why didn’t they do more? If you and I had done the same thing we would have been in a lot of trouble.

I hate to say it, but what were his parents thinking? I saw the video of Nick speeding away from the Ivy. His mom was there and saw. You know what my mom would have done? Chased me down, taken my keys and she would have kicked my ass up and down the road!

My Stupid Opinion

My opinion means nothing, it is just mine. But, my opinion is that it is very easy to judge people and none of us really have the right to do so. However, as parents this type of story ticks us off and it should. All I keep thinking about is John’s parents, his family and his fiance. God bless them. My prayers are going out to them.

My Concern

Emotions are involved and that is why so many are discussing this story. My concern is a 17 year old boy dealing with a lot of hell and having the entire world watching. This has to an unbelievable amount of stress. I would hate to see another tragedy occur because this boy cannot handle the stress. I doubt I could handle it…

My prayers are going out to all of them. Both sets of parents are suffering, the family members are suffering, Nick is suffering, but John Graziano is suffering the most. This is a sad situation all the way around.
