I fail to understand the jubilation being shown at this tragedy by so many. Is it simply that he was born into money that causes this reaction?

His friend was killed true. But now he's a veggie if I remember correctly.

I had not realized that he was drinking too. That does change my opinion on the situation a bit.

He was drinking but it was like .05... Im not trying to defend him but that little bit of alcohol in your system wont do much of anything... What parent lets their 17 yr old son drive a viper or a suped up supra is beyond me. I know if I had either one of those at 17 I probably would have been in the same situation, except I dont let people ride in my car w/o wearing a seatbelt... Thank god for the 92' taurus

My dad owned a '94 srt10 viper for a few years and when I was 16 he let me drive it. I can honestly say that I did not speed once or do anything reckless while I was driving it. I think it all depends on whether the parents established boundaries. To this day I have not had a single ticket or been in a single accident.

yeah i heard about that. as much as i hate to say it, he deserved it.

BS
Current mood: pissed off
Category: Life

I know most of the public thinks my brother is some rich little selfish kid, but NO ONE knows the real story and I'm really pissed that the truth didn't come out from either side. A LOT of lies were told in that trial. Believe me. And it wasn't from us. John was NEVER home. He was at our house. ALL THE TIME. that should say enough…. Im not going to be out spoken right now, but If some s*** doesn't start getting straightened out, A lot of people are going to eat their words for lieing. I know all of the truth and I have back up. I never know how twisted this world could be but I'm starting to figure it out. And I'm gonna have to jump off my high road and tackle some ppl who are taking the low road. I know you guys don't understand, but you will really really soon. Keep praying. And by the way, before you judge anybody, make sure you really know them. I promise you if you were to meet my brother he would give you the shirt off his back. He's not "NICK HOGAN." AND hes not the person he plays on tv. People are so gullible now a days…"

Actually I don't think you can honestly say, "well his blood/alchohol level was X amount and it doesn't do anything...."

because you cannot that particular amount did not affect his reaction/judgement skills.

From what I understand his passenger was a 23 year old marine. That doesn't absolve this kid, but when a GROWN MAN makes a stupid decision like riding around with a kid that's been drinking there's bound to be some consequences at one point or another. They were both stupid.

8 months:O?!? i heard it was 8 years. just goes to show if you or your daddy is a cleb them you can pretty much get away with murder.:rage:
