Mark Wahlberg Wants Arrest for Assault to be Pardoned
Quote:
This week Wahlberg filed a formal petition seeking a pardon for his 1988 arrest that left one man permanently blinded in one eye. Via NECN:
In his petition, he outlines the incidents that led to his arrest, saying that he attempted to steal two cases of alcohol from a man who was standing outside of a convenience store near his home around 9 p.m. He said he hit the man on the head with a wooden stick, and then ran down the block to evade police. While attempting to avoid police, he said he punched another man in the face.
Quote:
"I was detained by police a few minutes after that," Wahlberg wrote. "While I was detained, the police discovered that I had a small amount of marijuana in my back pocket. During the incident, I was under the influence of alcohol and narcotics."
Wahlberg, who was 16, was tried as an adult and spent three months in prison. (The Boston Globe also notes a 1986 incident where Wahlberg, then 14, and two friends followed two black nine-year-old schoolgirls on a field trip, yelled racial slurs and threw rocks at them. The civil complaint against Wahlberg and his friends was dismissed a year later.)
"The more complex answer is that receiving a pardon would be a formal recognition that I am not the same person that I was on the night of April 8, 1988," Wahlberg wrote in the petition. "It would be formal recognition that someone like me can receive official public redemption if he devotes himself to personal improvement and a life of good works."
Keep in mind that he never apologized to that man and that man will never get his eyesight back.

After being brought to the scene on the first charge, Wahlberg told officers, “You don’t have to let him identify me, I’ll tell you now that’s the mother****er whose head I split open” and apparently made several remarks regarding “gooks” and “slant-eyed gooks” during police proceedings.
That man is Vietnamese. Mark Walhberg is a racist ****. He doesn't deserve such a pardon. At least he should try to find that man and do something good for him. But NO.
He should just be happy that the mainstream audience who watches his movies dont care
he should be happy that her not black or this might actually affect his carre like a certain musician we know
I think people don't realize how much people can change in a 27 year timespand
And he was 16 and under the influence
It doesn't change the fact he is a racist person. Not only 1 person he blinded, but 2. He even threw rocks at black kids back in the day. Those incidents happened for NO REASON; those people he beat aren't white. Please check the stories before you have compassion for him. He has no remorse whatsoever.

I mean just because he was racist back then doesn't mesn he's racist now. You have a point with the remorse thing, however.

Mess. I just saw you in a different thread laughing at a post calling Beyoncé a chimpanzee.
