Enough with the special treatment for this washed up has been. It's bad enough his son is getting special treatment on the inside. Now everyone has to move their schedules for his folks. Somehow regular people are going to get their visitations cut because this clown is disrupting the whole place by showing up. Hulk, you were a celebrity a long time ago, but you are not now. Get over it and start acting like everyone else.

I have never quite understood why people choose to put these celebrities up on a pedastill. I have seen Hulk around quite often as well as been in the presence of many well known actors, actresses, sports players, ect. and never once was I inclined to want to go bother them about anything. The only autograph I have ever had was from a ball player, Stan Musial, and I didnt ask him for it. But there are so many out there that think these people are gods. I just dont get it.

Perhaps I have misread the article, but could someone please show me where it states that Hulk ASKED for this treatment??? I think a lot of you are jumping to conclusions here. he never asked for special treatment (at least not in this article) and he wasn't asking people to come up to him for autographs. He is not trying to be a disturbance or use his celebrity status for any special treatment and it seems to me (by reading this article) that the sheriffs office is trying to make sure that it DOESN'T become a disturbance to others.

It sounds (once again, by reading) that Hulk and family tried to follow the same rules as everyone else and the sheriff saw it as a disturbance, not the other way around. In reading this article, it would occur to me that his presence is disturbing to the other inmates and visitors who ARE simply trying to make normal visits. Think about it - most of these inmates (not all) are low lifes who couldn't get things right in the first place and now they see Hulk Hogan??? And you think that they are NOT going to want to talk to him and get autographs??? In general, these people are on the lower end of education and living. They don't think like the average to highly educated person. My guess is that jail is the LAST place that the Hogans want to be an autograph and photo session! Also keep in mind that the frequent visitors will start to know the Hogans schedule and hound them, while disturbing others without any regard for anyone else, including the Hogans.

In other words the guards can't control the jail visitation room. How about saying "hey you need to conduct yourselves or you will have a room without a view.

Wild83....you are an idiot! How would you like it if John was your brother? I can tell you right now that if this had happened to either one of my sons you better da** skippy believe that I'm going to push for jail time for some dumba$$ that did a STUPID stunt like racing on a public road. And just how is Nick being "punished" by special privileges in jail? He's not learning any kind of lesson. The only way for him to learn his lesson would for him to be treated just like any other prisoner.

I'm sure there are plenty on inmates looking to offer Nick some special treatment...
I hope he's passed around like a bottle of ripple..
This self absorbed parasite forever changed the life of a "REAL AMERICAN HERO" and all he's getting is 8 months?
There are people doing years of hard time over smoking a joint, yet this walking piece of smegma gets a slap on the wrist..
The one good thing is that this little butt-wipe won't learn a thing, and will continue his idiotic driving and kill himself...
Hopefully he won't take anyone with him..(unless it's Bulkster and his bimbo).
So whatcha gonna do when Bubba an' his friends run a train on you?
I'm sure they'll be enjoying some Nick at Nite, tonight.

I agree with the decision. I can't believe people would actually interrupt the Bollea family during visitation. Not to mention the money they'd make on pictures of them in the jail. It's not the Bollea's fault that many people can't keep themselves from acting like low-life morons in public. Have a little respect, losers...if not respect for them, then at least for yourselves. Acquire some class. Leave them alone.

I agree that Nick Bollea should have gotten punished, but everyone seems to be forgetting that John Graziano (?sp)was a grown adult that for could have said you have been drinking give me the keys, #2 he could have hooked his seat belt and #3 he could have said no thanks I will ride with someone else. I understand that John is seriously injured but he was the adult in the whole situation. He chose to be in the vehicle with someone he knew was going to be racing, so in my opinion some of the responsibility for the accident is his.

I think it's funny, the envy people feel for famous and/or rich people that is displayed in a lot of the posts on forums similar to this one. If any of the ones on here complaining about the "special treatment" the Bolleas are receiving were famous, you can bet they would be a proponent for the solution the officials worked out........It might not be worth much, but that's just my opinion.

First and foremost, I am deeply sorry that John and his parents have to go thought this, But i have a couple of things to say.

1st - Should Nick have to serve time, NO, but i do agree with all of the other stuff that he recieved based on his past driving record.

I understand that Nick is responsible for the people in his vehicle, but John (22 years of age = ADULT)had the right not to enter the vehicle to race. Also John made the decision not to wear a seat belt. As per the police and damage report (also adding pictures into the mix), most of the severe damage was done on the driver side wear Nick was sitting. He substained little injury because he had a seat belt on. Seat belts do save you from major injury and death.

What about the others in the silver Viper that they were racing? If Nick has to serve time shouldn't they have to also for contributing to the accident. They were all friends.

Also, no one knows how much John was drinking. Drinking effects judgement.

2nd - The County Jail decided to make special arrangements for the Hogans, that is what is said within this article and I don't blame the county jail for doing so. It could cause injury to staff and visitors, people like celebrities adn act like animals in a mob when they have a chance to meet one. They made the correct decision on this.

This is all i have to say at this time. People have to look into things instead of making ill judgements because of what others say. Look at the facts before you make comments.

Right on Captain07! It is unfortunate that John was hurt as badly as he was but he is an adult. He made the choice to get in that car knowing how Nick drove and it was not the first time he rode in a car with Nick. Everyone wants to blame the Bollea's instead of looking at the TRUE facts.
I find the remarks (What Iraq didn't take from John, Nick Hogan did) John's father has made repulsive! His family had no problem with their son being friends with the 17 year old son of Hulk Hogan and no problem with their son spending the majority of his time with the Bollea's. It's difficult for people to admit that John could be in a much better state had he made the choice to wear a seat belt or not get in the car with his 17 year old friend. Let's stop laying blame where it does not entirely belong!

So, aren't jails equipped to handle disruptive situations????

More preferential treatment bestowed upon the Bolleas. Maybe the sheriff should let Nicky's mommy spend the night with him a couple of times a week, so he isn't disruptively scared.

Hey, give them a break, He is just a kid who made a wrong choice and having to pay for it, which IS right. But his friend with brain damage was an adult - why is no-one saying he should have been wearing his seat belt? Both of them were in the wrong. I am sorry they have to pay so high a price but with wrong choices also come consequences. So stop with all the horrible statements and let both families get on with trying to pick up the pieces.

They should be able to talk to their son without being disrupted by autograph/picture seekers. This isn't really special treatment. Yes he's famous but he has a right to visit his son, this is the only way they can do so without wasting most of their visiting time dealing with commotion. Special treatment would be actually SEEING their son, not looking at him through a video screen.

Captain07 and Sunshine13...I totally agree with you!! John was the adult in this situation. Some of the responsibility has to be put on him. He chose not to put his seatbelt on, he chose to get in the car with Nick, and if I'm correct I think he had spent the day with Nick and knew that Nick was drinking..and he may have been drinking himself.

Either way, the Bollea's are following the rules and trying to be like everyone else. It's not their fault if the people around them get star struck. The set visitation is to keep order in the jail and I think it is a smart decision. As for Mom and Dad visiting Nick 3 times a week...COME ON!! SERIOUSLY!! The kid is 17..yes he made a dumb decision, but he's manned-up and took his punishment...LEAVE THEM ALONE!! As a parent I would be there EVERYDAY for as long as they would allow me to be there if it were my child.

How sad! Nick could be out racing, drinking, smoking and smacking some azz around a tree!

crashex, in case you were not aware everyone is allowed to state their opinions on this page. If you feel Captain and I need to grow up, that's your opinion. My opinion is that you should really run the grammar check before you submit your next post.
In response to your comment, a driver is indeed responsible for his/her passengers but the passengers are also responsible for who they get into a car with. John was well aware of Nick's history of poor driving and he was also aware that Nick was 17 when he got into the car with him. If he did not want to be part of the racing he could have so to Nick or asked to get out of the car. It is so easy to pass judgment and lay blame on others especially when they have celebrity status and lots of money to get out of a lawsuit. This would not be a big story if it had been two regular everyday people but everyone wants to find a place to lay the blame and not actually be accountable for their own actions.

Nick should NOT be in jail. A man of responsible age chose to get into a car that was going to race and then chose not to put on a seat belt. This young man and his family need to take responsibility for his lack of responsibility. It is not Nick's place to babysit the guy!

If they wanted peaceful time to visit their son just maybe they should have thought of that 17 yaers ago. They have lived a fantasy all their lives, WELL HOGAN OR BOLEA WELCOME TO REALITY. The Bible clearly states to raise up a child in the way he should go and in the end he will not depart from it. Sad to say but you made your choices and now another familyis paying the price of having lost their son as they knew him, yes maybe Nick was driving the car at the time of the wreck, but he was only living what he was taught. Hopefully you see that everytime you try to close your eyes

Let's see, the Hogans have made an obscene amount of money by inviting people into their private lives and now they will be "bothered" by people who want to gawk and get their autographs? I bet they'll be a lot more bothered when no one watches their show. Yes this is special treatment and don't think it doesn't effect all of us. Who do you think is paying for the extra officer needed to supervise his visitation.It's not like there are guards just standing around with nothing to do. No, there is a cost to this and WE are paying it. Let's see The Tribune report on that story. I guess it's also a matter of time before Nicky gets to host all night poker parties so he has someone to talk too. After all, his mom told him his attorney would take care of things and make jail much nicer for him and I guess she was right. Heck, they'll probably be measuring for carpeting and picking out fabric samples for the upholstery next. For all you who think it's okay for Nick and the Bolleas to get special treatment, requested or not, I hope no child of yours ever has to go to jail. If they do, I hope they will get half the breaks Nicky has had so far.
