oh and john the baptist down there. shut your mouth your not God. so idk MAYBE you shouldnt profess your blasphemy. SORTA KINDA also makes you a sinner...read the bible again brosephina.

Mon, 08/04/2008 - 4:23pm

oh and p.s. ***...i have family who live in cape may county, and from what im told from them. the amount of drugs in wildwood highschool, and the villas and other areas are rediculous. and i have this really strange feeling that philadelphia didnt invent drugs. ***

***, im simply returning the fire towards philadelphia.

Mon, 08/04/2008 - 4:19pm

lets start off with that really sucks for both people. nicks from FC and yeah hes dumb and did drugs alright hes gonna go to jail. im really sorry to his family and i just lost a close friend who was only 16...but what my main problem with these sea billys (hillbilly but from newjersey) articles is your all stupid as schmidt. stop comin at philly. your not smart, if we didnt come to your little town you would all be broke because WE ARE YOUR ECONOMY. so i mean you kinda need us. but hey, because 2 people made dumb mistakes all people from philadelphia must be cold blooded killers. im not defending anyone AT ALL. but foreal, trying to say that because he is from philladelphia he must be a big black crack dealing rapper with a gun and a car looking to kill some motorcycling 20 year old dude. theres like 3 smart comments on here, mines prolly not one of them but i said what i had to say. again sorry for your loss, sorry for nicks wasted life while he is still on earth. theres nothing good from this at all.

RIP brother

Fri, 08/01/2008 - 3:48pm

This is Craig's Aunt. Please stop this fighting and let us just deal with this we don't need all this right now. So please just let the court deal with this and let us greave. Please.

Thu, 07/31/2008 - 9:54am

how many times does it have to be said that we are not making excuses for nick or saying that he shouldnt be punished. everyone who knows him realizes what he has done and that punishment is inevitable. in no way is anyone trying to say that nick does not deserve what he is going to recieve due to what he has done... all we are trying to say is that prior to this he was not a 'punk' kid which made this so unexpected to those who know him. and you dont even know who his friends are so to call them punks as well is so uncalled for.

Wed, 07/30/2008 - 10:30pm

Tue, 07/29/2008 - 10:05pm, you sound like Fred Phelps. Who are you to act as if you have the right to play God? Sickening.

Wed, 07/30/2008 - 10:26am

Coming for someone who doesn't know either family or person involved, I have lost a lot of very close people in my life to things that really make me question my faith in God. People need to forgive, not forget, not assume, not accuse. There are so many "what ifs" in life. The young man who died in this accident is a life lost under terrible circumstances. The young man who will sit in prison, could be another. Would you wish your pain on your worst enemy? I know I wouldnt.

Wed, 07/30/2008 - 10:13am

Poor Golden, he is just a young kid trying to earn a few dollars with his own business at the shore..........SELLING ***. Everyone that keeps saying he made a mistake and is such a saint, was it a mistake when he put all those *** and *** in his car to sell too? I know someone else snuck them in the car and he didn't know they were there. Oh no wait, I got it! All those Oxy's were the prescription ones he was on!

Tue, 07/29/2008 - 10:05pm

To the person who said if Craig would say something like this, then he was not a great person. First of all. Just because we all think, the Golden boy should rot in hell is not really that bad. He was a sinner and deserves to go to hell!! He MURDERED A GREAT KID. All for a high. He is and was a sinner!!!! He made his bed and he shall lay in it.
He deserves what he gets. His support group is just as bad. You all are sinners for not trying to help the Golden boy before this happened!!! You all should be a shamed of yourselfs for not helping him before this happened!!!

Tue, 07/29/2008 - 5:19pm

NEWSFLASH !!!!!!!!! Tuesday, July 29, 2008 A Philadelphia teenager ( Nicholas Golden, 18, of Philadelphia ) faces new drug charges. Charged Friday with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and the painkiller oxycodone. He was released on $25,000 bail on the new charges. ( Source - Local Newspaper ) Keep the drugs out of Cape May County. Keep them in philly where they belong. Shame on you *** !!!!!!!!!!

(ED. NOTE: Herald Web site readers knew about this shortly after Middle Township police issued the press release July 28.)

Tue, 07/29/2008 - 4:00pm

"the dirtbag should rot in hell"..??? Do you think this is the way Craig would have wanted you to speak about another person? If the answer is yes, then Craig is not as great a kid as you are portraying him to be. But I am sure the answer is no.

Tue, 07/29/2008 - 9:23am

Im very sorry but a bad home life and blahblah blah that goes along with that is no excuse for getting behind the wheel and driving to the shore drunk high or whatever. yeah people who know golden say well hes soo young and shouldnt sit in jail and take his life away at such a young age, but look at craig, hes f-ing 20 and he lived life to the fullest everyday and never turned to something as low at this kid did, honestly the dirtbag should rot in hell.

Mon, 07/28/2008 - 6:08pm

Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone!

Mon, 07/28/2008 - 5:58pm

To the person who wrote on Wed, 07/23/2008 - 9:51pm im sorry but no one is making excuses for nick we're just trying to defend him against the people who are saying hes a horrible kid...He did have a rough life and if u knew him u would kno that too but obviously you didnt n obviously u didnt put urself in this situation on either side so before u go n judge sumbody n tell all of nicks friends that we're punks look at urself we're both trying to defend how we feel n ww're not guna get through to eachother cuse of course we're guna have different feelings he made a mistake a HUGE one but he didnt do it on purpose n it didnt do it cuse hes a punk

Mon, 07/28/2008 - 5:45pm

I dont think anyone who commented this article took the time to look through and notice that alls everyone is doing on here is fighting!! A life was taken YES, a person made a HUGE mistake YES but if any of you really believe in God you would take the time to realize that this space where it says comments can be posted ISNT FOR FIGHTING its for saying your peace not talking down on Golden but praying for BOTH families specially the Lozier's. Although i am a friend of Golden if this were someone i knew whose life was taken im sure id be the same way thinking that the kid who killed my friend was the worst person alive, but i would also take into account that i did not know the kid who killed my friend and that i would have no right to call him a piece of crap or say he should be haunted with this forever..HELLO newsflash if this happened to you it would already haunt you forever it wouldnt take for 1000 people to tell you to feel bad. So could everyone please stop fighting on here and leave comments praying for both families and taking into account that we all need to cherish life EVERYDAY because anything can happen on any given day just like this! I pray for both families, for the Lozier's that they can achieve peace, and to the Golden's that they can also get through another tragedy. Rest in peace Craig Lozier.

Mon, 07/28/2008 - 1:58pm

Yes, we all understand that Nick made a so called mistake, a poor decision, whatever you want to call it. However, would have this been the last time he made a stupid decision if he hadn't killed someone? People make mistakes everyday and they need to be held accountable for those mistakes. There's no defense for him- you did the crime, you do the time! This is more than just an innocent mistake. Everyone acts as though at age 18 you haven't already learned about drugs and their effects, etc. At age 18 you are certainly capable of making adult decisions. If everyone thinks that Nick is someone that shouldn't be held accountable because of his rough life, then they should've spoken up when he went to get his license. Someone not able to make grown-up decisions, probably shouldn't be driving in the first place.

Mon, 07/28/2008 - 1:29pm

I do not know either of the parties involved in this unfortunate event, but when I heard about it I was very upset. I've been following it now for the past couple of days and I have become increasingly more and more upset. It is mostly from all of these comments I have been reading... and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
The Loziers are trying to mourn the loss of what sounds like a brilliant, very loved son. I feel however that some of his so called "friends" on here are trying to take the spotlight away from mourning his death to who knew him the best or who feels the worst. I think we can all agree that we want his soul to rest in peace and we want his family to find comfort and closure.
The other major issue I have is with the comments about Nick Golden. He was totally in the wrong and deserves to pay for the pain he has brought the Loziers and the entire community. But, I have to ask how productive it is to condemn him to death or hell. I understand people are sad and angry, but these terrible comments you are all making about Nick will not bring Craig back. I have only one thing to say to the people cursing and condemning Nick Golden... let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I hope that justice is brought to this terrible event, but it is not anyones job to send this young man to hell, and with what he is going through I'm sure he is already there.

Mon, 07/28/2008 - 11:34am

i dont think that i saw anyone making excuses for nick. everyone who knows nick are all in agreement that he deserves to be punished for the crime he has committed. all people are trying to say is that no one expected this from him seeing that he truly is a nice kid and no one ever could have seen this coming.

Sun, 07/27/2008 - 5:14pm

Ok first off, this is Cape May Counties news paper, let us grieve and think about Craig and his family. I knew Craig since I was very little. I went to all of his soccer and baseball games. Dr. and Mrs. Lozier I am SO sorry for your loss. You raised an amazing young man and he loved you both so much. Christine, never forget how much your brother cared about you, through all the teasing and being the normal little brother he looked up to you so much. I still can’t believe he is gone and you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I keep seeing his little crocked smile and sparkling eyes turning around in class to make me giggle about something. I know all of his friends will never forget him.

Sun, 07/27/2008 - 3:39pm

i am a local rider who did not know craig but am sorry for his loss.R.i.p craig

Sun, 07/27/2008 - 1:35pm

I used to know Nicky he is a good kid who***, although my heart gose out to the lozier family. Everyone who is talking down on Nick should stop because we all make mistakes maybe not always this big, but as far as I am concerned the only one who can judge Nick is God.

Sun, 07/27/2008 - 11:06am

11:07 you make it sound like someone ran over their dog????

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 11:07pm

i can't imagine what it is like to lose a family member that way, and my prayers are with craig and his family. However, i do know nick. Some people are saying here that hes a murder and that he should get life in prison, but look at this way.... im not gonna excuse his desision by saying his life sucks and that he has a lot of problems because its not an excuse, but hes 18 and people make dumb desisions all the time and it just so happens that someone had to die for his. nick feels terrible about what happened and honestly if you did the same, you would too . everyone makes mistakes and to take his entire life away for one mistake when he was so young isnt fair. people change. and everyone deserves a second chance. I can't express more empathy for the Lozier family, but i please ask for you to find it in your heart to forgive Nick's mistake because i know hes never going to forgive himself. Craig is in a better place and its going to take so much streghth to keep moving on from both sides , but forgiveness is always the first step

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 10:34pm

My heart goes out to both families involved.

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 10:34pm

HOW IS PAIN HEARD,
HOW DOES A TEAR HAPPEN,
HOW WILL HEARTACHE HEAL,
HOW IS SADNESS DEALT WITH,
HOW ARE PRAYERS HEARD,
HOW WILL ONE SMILE WITHOUT,
HOW WILL ONE HEAL,
HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE,
HOW WILL ONE DO,
HOW CRAIG WOULD WANT,
WITH MEMORIES OF HIS SMILE,
HIS LOVE,
HIS SELF,
THROUGH THIS, THIS IS HOW.

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 7:58pm

Some of these comments are so stupid.
Both familys and friends are going to be having a hard time with this.
People make mistakes. And everyone that has posted a comment has.
So don't jugde a book by its cover.

I hope the best the the lost of Lozier family.
but Nick is a great kid, you don't know what he has been threw in his life.
So before you all go and say stupid stuff like he should be punished, he has already been punished and i'm sure he feels 100000x's worse then you really think.

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 6:12pm

So I am told Golden is BACK IN JAIL, $25000 additional bail. The police located over a quarter pound of *** in his vehicle and dozens of ***s. Coming down to *** the shore????? One more thing, feeling sorry for Golden????? He is the cause of this horrific tragedy.......Lozier was the INNOCENT person driving home from his friends house. Golden deserves LIFE in Jail......but at least he is around to enjoy a life, no matter where it is. And for the spouters blaming the police for not enforcing the laws and patrolling the roadways, remember to thank them when they pull you over for speeding or breaking a traffic law instead of asking for "a break" or telling them who your related to, or any other way you try and get out of getting a ticket. In our society today, everyone is so quick to pass judgement and blame onto others for their own stupidity, they should just take accountability for their own mistakes. EVERYONE LEARN FROM THIS and police yourselves when on the roadway, buckle up, stop and let the other car enter the roadway, slow down and enjoy the ride rather than speed and pass to get to your destination 3 minutes quicker, think, think, think.....

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 3:48pm

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 3:56pm
What the *** are you trying to say. Listen ***, I probably seen more accidents in New Jersey then I ever did in PA... and the funny thing is I am only in NJ mayby 5 times a year and live in PA...i think the accident was tragic and Nick should be punished for making such a stupid mistake but I see people writing nick does'nt deserve to live. Why take 2 lives from this world? From what i Hear, Craig was a great kid and all my symphony goes to the Lozier family...May God bless the Lozier family and all of Craigs friends

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 1:05pm

to the Thu, 07/24/2008 - 10:40pm Spouter

Respect Why should this kid get any respect from anyone. He did not respect anyone the day he decided to get in the car and drive. I don't know either family but I know if it was someone in my family that this happened to I would not care what kind of life the person had. Why should it matter what his life was like he made a bad choice and now he has to live with it. At least he gets to live.

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 11:43am

Listen to a scanner for at least one full day. There are some people that don't know they are taking police and emergency units from very important calls. Lockouts,animals,kids hanging out,cuts,broken bones, it goes on and on. Ever since Sept. 11, 2001, I have the upmost respect for the police. They are ALWAYS the first to respond no matter what the call is. Where were the police when the elderly couple went through the house in Stone Harbor July 25, 2008? Nobody called 911 to tell dispatch there was a car going 45 mph in a 25 mph zone? Cell phones can save lives. There are alot of erratic driver calls, some get arrested, some get warnings, some get to go on their way. If you see something not right call 911. The police are there to serve and protect.

R.I.P. Craig Lozier

Sat, 07/26/2008 - 9:08am

This golden kid deserves to be punished. People need to stop making excuses for him and let him face the responsilibity for the terrible crime he committed. I graduated from high school with Craig. He was an AMAZING person, who would have went far in life.

God bless the Lozier family. RIP CRAIG

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 5:35pm

I agree with 7/24/08-8:51pm

Everyone is being so judgemental. How many of you have small children or dont have any at all yet? How do you know what they will be like when they get older? You can only hope and assume they grow up how you want them to. Hope they dont make a bad decision like Nick did.

My heart goes out to both families.

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 5:07pm

Rest in Peace Craig

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 3:56pm

Wow you ppl are seriously rediculous!
A tragedy happened and everyone on here is fighting! Nick is at total fault here... Theres a reason why we have speed limits on these roads! This is the 2nd accident we have had on that road killing someone and them getting DWI.... When do ppl learn funny thing is there all PA ppl go home!!!! You wonder why were all so rude 1 you dont know how to drive 2 you drive drunk and 3 your just all idiots! i guess drinking and driving is not a law in Pa... Go home and our town will be satisfied! My heart gos out for craigs family and friends... Only the good die young... one more thing to the spouter above talking about nicks family and his father getting killed in an accident wouldnt that make him more causcious and think before putting the keys in the ignition! Ppl really need to start making wiser choices!

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 2:31pm

A 20 year old kid lost his life and all you people can do is bicker and blame? Everyone wants to know the most and have the details and know the families. No one cares who you know or what what details you "know". The bottom line is that a great kid lost his life and there's NOTHING that can take that back or fix that. If you need a way to grieve, write in a journal, if you're going to publicly grieve, at least be respectful. Half the posts on here are completely and utterly SICKENING.

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 2:28pm

The first words that golden said to his mom on scene was "mom the car is totaled" as he sat on the ground looking at lozier's body.....fact

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 1:11pm

we just got to step up and bare with the pain and live are lives only the good die young

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 11:32am

IF YOU GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR UNDER THE INFULENCE OF ANYTHING AND YOU KILL YOUSELF THAN OH WELL, YOUR SELFISH AND STUPID BUT IF YOU KILL SOMEONE ELSE ITS MURDER. NICK IS NOT A CHILD HE KNEW RIGHT FROM WRONG IT IS NO ONES FALT BUT HIS OWN. AND EVERYONE IN CAPE MAY COUNTY IS THINKING ABOUT CRAIG, HELL I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM . IF YOU NEVER LOST A CHILD SUDDENLY BEFORE THAN YOU WILL NEVER NOW WHAT CRAIGS FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH. KEEP IN MIND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR SON, IT HOPEFULLY WILL BE BEHIND BARS BUT ITS BETTER THAN NOTHING.NICK'S COMMENT AT THE JAIL WAS , YEAH I JUST KILLED A KID ON A MOTORCYCLE. I HOEP NICK SUFFERS THE REST OF HIS LIFE JUST LIKE CRAIG'S FAMILY WILL. ITS UNREAL THAT JUDGE TOURSON GAVE HIM A $75000.00 BAIL HE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE LET GO.

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 11:05am

So does anyone still wonder why we don't welcome terrorists, oops I mean tourists with open arms? They are lucky that "rude" is all they get. I am sick of all the shoobie-on-local violence and killings, every year we lose a few more. This is a small community and everyone knows everyone. Leave your violence in Philly, we don't come to your town and defile your propertys and have disreguard for your families year after year. This is our home! These are our children!

Fri, 07/25/2008 - 8:53am

LOL!!!!!!!!! Cracks me up, the people saying we shouldn't be saying anything and here they are saying something!!!!

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 10:40pm

I have read each and every comment, and I must say that some people should really be ashamed of themselves for posting such horrid things. Although driving while high, which is extremely stupid, no one could ever think that what Nick did was intentional. I know the Golden family; I know Nick and his family lost their father in an accident; I know Nick and his family lost their uncle at gun point, and now they have lost their son to a stupid, stupid choice on Nick's own behalf. I think he deserves to be punished, and I know that he will be (no one kills someone while high and transports that much weed without serving their due time). My heart goes out to their family. I think people should really focus on Craig; people should pay him the respects he deserves instead of turning this forum into a blame-game situation (we already know whose fault it was). From what I hear and read, Craig was a great kid and he will be with God. My heart goes out to their family and their terrible loss. May God bless, and may justice be served.

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 8:51pm

Ok I have read enough of this ***- you people are unbelievable!!! The best part is you dont know anything. Why dont everyone just let these two families heal from this terrible trajedy? Let the court system sift through the evidence - THE FACTS - and then we will all know who was high and who wasnt. As far as there being levels of pot in your system - there arent - it is either positive for the drug or negative for the drug - no levels - so who are we to say when he smoked. And as far as the spouter from 7/24/08 9:36 saying that the passenger in the car is to blame because ??? Because you talked to him- because you know him ?- Because you smoked with him that day? Because you were at the hospital and received his lab reports??? Which one is it ?? Because for a kid who tested positive for pot why wasnt he arrested and charged ? And as far as Nicks friends are concerned who knows them??? Are they writing on this blog? I dont think one of them has, at least his very close friends. As far as them being losers - dont think so, they all have very promising futures and are respectful kids.It appears from what I am reading that the only losers here are the hateful people writing their sensless thoughts for the world to read - I wonder what people think of you when they read them? Why dont you find something better to do with your time - buy a notebook and write your thoughts down - it is great therapy!
The News Paper should halt this NOW!

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 6:14pm

It's such a shame, the lives of 2 families are forever shattered.

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 5:55pm

i fully agree with the writer of Thu, 07/24/2008 - 1:15pm

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 1:15pm

This is getting out of hand though, if the Herald had any compassion for the Lozier and Golden families they would stop posting these ridiculous comments and let everyone heal. Pull the plug, enough is enough.

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 1:14pm

To the spouter at 11:51 what did Golden say? I would love to know what the punk was saying at the scene.
To the other spouters, if there was a guard rail Nick would have stayed in his lane, he lost control of the car.....HE WAS IN A RUSH TO GET TO THE SHORE AND WAS TRYING TO PASS MULTIPLE CARS THAT WERE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH APPARENTLY WAS NOT FAST ENOUGH FOR HIM. Also, the drugs could have been in his system from a week ago.....HE WAS TESTED AT THE HOSPITAL, DOCTORS AND POLICE KNOW WHAT THE LIMITS WOULD HAVE BEEN IF IT WAS IN HIS SYSTEM FOR A WEEK AND IT WASN'T, THERE WAS EVIDENCE IN THE CAR THEY WERE SMOKING ON THE WAY DOWN. Man you people are just grasping at straws here. You don't even know the half of it that the police have not released because of the investigation. I didn't see where anyone said it was his mother's fault. Of course it is not. She is not the one that held him down, fed him a joint and threw him in the car.

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 1:11pm

I did not know anyone involved in this accident , tradegy whatever you want to call it but I have been reading alot of the comments, I would like to say that 07/24/2008 - 10:34am has a very good point. Yes I feel for the family of the deceased .I could not imagine something happening to my own but everyone wants this kid Golden to rot When I think back to being 21 or so I have drove after having a drink or too. I do not drink and drive now but we all make mistakes. This is not the first tradegy and it won't be the last. I pray for both families involved.

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 11:51am

All I have to say is what sign on gods green earth is going to prevent any person under the influence of any substance from being a aggressive driver. Stop blaming the roads the kids poor life bla bla bla and face the facts. There isn't a road safe on this earth when people insist on breaking the law and driving under the influence. And to the family of the victim I know this kid has no remorse I was there and heard what he said. My heart goes out to you.

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 11:04am

TO EVERYONE!!! you people all need to stop..I knew craig and he was also my neighbor he DID NOT DESERVE THIS he was an awsome person and was nice to everyone. HE had soo much more to do with his life. Screw all that god *** and he is suppose to be in heaven..no he deserves to be here liveing his life but the other *** that was high should be the one dead. CRAIGS family doesn't sereve this either there a great family and he was a great son that was very close to his dad.I miss him and god bless him.ANd he'll always be in my thoughts.

Thu, 07/24/2008 - 10:34am

This is really getting out of hand!!!! Yes a young mans life was taken and anothers has been destroyed but how is this any of Nicks mothers fault? Children experiment all the time we as parents can not follow them 24/7 we have to do what we can to support them and try to guide them to be better people and considering there was only one parent through his teenage years she has done the best she could. This is not his mothers fault. At least one time or another in your life are you trying to tell me no one here has gotten behind the wheel after they had a couple drinks, or any other mind altering substance in their system, was your parents there to make sure you didn't take that drink when you weren't old enough or were they there to make sure you didn't do drugs I doubt it. If you are one of the few who has not messed up I applaud you but I am sure there are at least 75% if not more people in this world who has made a mistake in there life they may or may not have gotten caught but you did make a mistake is that you parents fault??? At a certain age your mistakes are your own. I have know nick since he was younger he is not a monster he has had loss and I agree it is no reason for him to turn to drugs or anything else to help the pain or get behind the wheel while under the influence of anything. Pot stays in your system for 30 days there is no real way of knowing if he was actually high or is it was just in his system.

To all of Craig's family and friends I am truly sorry for your loss. I am not trying to defend nick or trying to make you feel sorry for him by any means all of you are justified for your feelings I know if it was my child I would also want blood. I know my thoughts and prays mean nothing to you but your child and your family will be in my prayers for a long time.

RIP Craig
