The Hogans

So I'm listening to the news and there seems to be this great debate about Nick Hogan and his first few weeks in prison. For all that don't know Nick Hogan, son of Hulk Hogan, is serving times, 8 months, for drunk driving and the severe injuries to his friend that was in the car.

Nick Hogan is known for racing cars, his dad even brought him a pretty fast car right after learning to drive. So in this instance Nick and his buddies have all gotten drunk, and Nick is the driver. They have a terrible accident and his best friend has now been deemed a vegetable.

Nick Hogan's punishment: well 8 months in prison, 5 years parole, and here's the debate: depending on the state laws, Nick Hogan may or may not have a suspended license during his parole. So there is a possibility of him breaking parole given that he might have the possibility of having a parole violation.

Now as mentioned before, Nick Hogan is currently serving his 8 month sentence in juvenile detention. Now some phone conversations between him and his parents have been leaked. Those conversations reveal that Nick Hogan nor his parents are remorseful for the pain that they have caused for the family of his friend.

As some of the conversations reveal, Nick Hogan is looking to have his own reality tv show starting the day of his release, and guess who is going to make this happen, Daddy Hogan. I guess celebrities these days are trying to milk every penny that they can while they can. In my opinion being in jail, drunk driving, and almost killing your friend, is nothing to be proud about.

Another point stressed within those conversations that Nick Hogan had with his mom, stressed the fact that after only being in juvenile detention for only a few days, Nick Hogan tells his mom that he's going crazy. Being in solitary confinement for a few days is driving the poor boy crazy only because he has to THINK for the first time in his life. WOW. So after Hogans began to start smoozing the media Nick is moved to a new cell with two roomates. So now he's much happier being able to talk to more troubled youth his age, when he actually needs to be seeking help for drunk driving.

Do I feel sorry for Nick Hogan? No, not really. The time he's gotten does not fit the crime he's committed. Any other non-celebrity, non-white person would have received 3-5 times more time for the same crime committed.
