No Happy Ending
John Graziano, the young Marine who had just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq when he was seriously injured in the Clearwater, Florida, car crash caused by Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea (inset), is comatose and on life support, according to a nurse hired by the court working out his military pension. The nurse said that although Graciano reacts to being pinched and has a gag reflex, he doesn't respond to touch or sound. The court documents say that young Graziano will not recover, will require lifelong care, and at best may be able to open and close his eyes periodically. A doctor said that the 22-year-old will "most likely spend the remainder of his life in a nursing home." His mother, Debra Graziano (above, with son) – who is separated from John's father – was given emergency temporary guardianship on September 27, permitting her to seek military benefits on behalf of her son.

well yeah he's a "war hero" and everything, but if you're off your face and you hop into the passenger seat with the wasted and spoilt parasitic offspring of a TV wrestler at the wheel, (and he already has the reputation for being a shithouse driver) you really only have yourself to blame, doncha think?

Well yes. I thought he was in another car. Thanks for the clarification.

Doncha think?? He only has himself to blame?? Are you serious? I'm sorry but thats ridiculous that you can honestly feel that it's John's fault for now being in an almost vegetative state because he drove in a car with Nick Hogan.Yes, he should have been using a seat belt, and yes he may have had prior knowledge that Nick was not a good driver but I'm pretty sure he never imagined that something like that could have happened to him. I actually know John and for you to say something as ignorant as that just makes me sick.

This really pisses me off!! Another example of the priviledged running amok into other people's lives.
