Maybe he'll only get sentenced to 24 hours in jail. That's fair, right?

Bah, Broadway, you're out of touch with the times. Celeb sentences are counted in minutes nowadays, not hours, dontcha know?

[Broadway]

Sentenced... sentenced. He'll only serve 81 minutes (have to beat Nicole)

How sad a state of affairs of the world it is when I totally believe you're probably right? I wonder what could have made us so cynical, Broadway? Hmmm.

I read a quote from the young man's grandmother who said that it was horrible that he returned from Iraq to have this happen in a place where they all thought he'd be safe.

I don't mean to sound insensitive and hope that's not how these questions come across. It's just stuff that popped into my head... Is John a family friend? Usually guys in their mid-20's aren't friends with 17 year olds. It just seems like an odd combination. Also, does anyone think that John's family will sue the Hogan family if he passes away? I'm glad Nick is OK. I just feel really horrible about his friend.

Well, the Hogan's must be preparing themselves for that probability. They've already hired a high-powered, case winning lawyer for the family.

Whether the young man survives or not, this event deserves a law suit.

Yes, it seems lil Nicky is quite the terror on the streets. E! was reporting that since getting his driver's license just last year (!), he's had 3-4 speeding tickets, including doing 115 mph in 70 mph zone, 57mph in a 30 mph zone, and 106 mph in a 70 mph zone. TMZ also has the same report, showing a copy of his driving record. Could this have come as a surprise to his family? Doesn't sound like it.

Many celebrities are out-of-control and believe they are above the law and above the average citizen. I say yank the driver's license immediately and if he still decides to drive and is caught then tougher sentencing like a minimum of 2 years in jail. Our country is way too lenient on law breakers and those who put others lives in danger without thinking or caring how their actions might kill someone:nono .

Agreed.

It makes me utterly frustrated with the treatment celebrities are given. More than that I really feel like the justice system, as a whole, is lacking. But that's another topic for another thread/forum

I think a lawsuit is exactly what's going to happen.

The Columbus Dispatch : Ticket for urinating marks comic's odd visit

Ticket for urinating marks comic's odd visit

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Andy Dick's run-in with Columbus police this week for urinating on a building in the Harrison West neighborhood was just the beginning of a bad few days for the nationally known comedian.

The charge against Dick early Monday followed a weekend of performances at Easton's Funny Bone Comedy Club. The club's managing partner called it one of the worst experiences with a performer in the club's history.

Dave Stroupe said Dick appeared to be intoxicated all weekend, made inappropriate comments on stage and took women into the men's room, where he groped patrons and urinated on the floor and on at least one person.

Columbus Police Officer John Fantin cited Dick for urinating on the sidewalk and Avenue One, a condominium building at

431 W. 1st Ave., at 7:42 a.m. Monday.

Stroupe said a limousine driver was scheduled

to pick up Dick at

7 a.m. Monday at the Hilton at Easton and deliver him to Port Columbus for a flight to Los Angeles, but no one could find the comedian. Dick missed his morning flight and police eventually escorted him back to the hotel, Stroupe said.

The 41-year-old comedian is perhaps best known for his role in the TV sitcom NewsRadio.

He created more controversy when he returned to Los Angeles, according to TMZ.com. On Tuesday, Los Angeles County deputies visited his West Hollywood house on a complaint that he was throwing beer bottles into a neighbor's yard. On Wednesday, he smacked a photographer's camera and tore his shirt outside a Hollywood nightclub.

Dick is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Municipal Court on Thursday. He could forgo the appearance by paying a $126 fine and court costs for the misdemeanor offense, a court employee said.

I've never seen the fascination with this guy....I've always thought he seemed to be a real horse's ass....his actions seem to prove me correct!
