That's the understatement of the year. I was completely unprepared for that even after your warning. That image will, most certainly, be with me for a long while. I wouldn't wish that kind of injury on anyone.
As a more detailed warning - it appears that most of his frontal lobes are missing - forehead and all. Seriously, don't click that link if you have any issues with these kinds of images.
I think I'll do myself a favor and not click on the link. I'm content to take the three of y'all's word for it.
"I'm going to write a new 'Best Friends' song just for us, Roy!" "Should I speed the process to its logical conclusion and poke out my own eardrums now?"
That poor guy. I really wanted to defend Hogan and his statements about the kid deserving this. Hogan never really said he deserved it. He more or less said, what did this kid do in his life to deserve this. More like a Karma getting back at him.
I guess technically, I just defended Hogan (unless I am messing up the quote from the conversation). I am at a loss for the words that I want to say. I'll just say this, I was wrong. I am done with Hogan.
I will never be able to watch Hogan again without thinking of what I just saw. Why couldn't he have just said "Nick, you (we) fucked up". I believe that he was speaking of Karma when he was talking to Nick in prison. However that doesn't take away from the egotistical, nonchalant attitude that Hogan and family demonstrated (that I denied) on that captured call.
I really don't recommend watching this video. However, If you are a Hogan fan that questioned the media jumping at an opportunity, I suggest you do watch it. Just so you know what you are supporting. The attached clip opened up my eyes.
What a total dick. Who the fuck does Hogan think he is, saying stuff like that?
I'm a fan of Hogan's in-ring work...I always will be...but as a person? No chance. He's a grade A, bona fide dick. And Nick...should be in jail a lot longer than he's been sentenced.
Get better soon, John....and sue the fuck out of all of them!

Sadly, it appears he is missing most of his brain and I'd be surprised if his eyes worked at all. I don't think there will ever be a "better" for him and I hope his family can bring a large civil suit on the Hogan's so Graziano's bills and care will be well taken care of.
Well look the injury is gross but I'm not going to hate him any more because of the severity of it. Kids race cars all the time. I did when I was young a time or two. My friends did a bunch. Doesn't make them evil. We were just lucky no one got hurt.
Not to mention it's not Nick's fault his friend wasn't wearing a seat belt.
that doesn't mean I'm saying he shouldn't be punished, but I don't think he should be demonized either.

If it was in Maryland it would be Nick's fault (and possibly Hulk's too since Nick is a minor) because the driver is responsible for all their passengers complying with all seat belt and child seat laws.
I'm sure a few other states have similar laws about that too.

I can see where that law would make sense, but all the same the other kid should have known better considering what they were doing.
Forehead looked completely gone. If I were the Judge I would make the Hogans pay for all John's medical expenses and I would have Nick write a check for $1 every week for the next 40 years to make sure he never forgets what he did to John's family.
