Mark Wahlberg wants to be pardoned for an assault that landed him in jail when he was 16, presumably because he is reformed. But that might not be the case. While high on drugs, Wahlberg whacked a Vietnamese man in the head with a heavy stick in an attempt to steal two cases of beer he was carrying, in his Massachusetts hometown. He was also verbally and racially abusive. It turns out the man did not lose an eye from the beating, but Mark served 45 days in jail. He was a bully. Now he wants the incident removed from his record, but he has never apologized to his victim. Actually Mark wants the felony removed because he wants to open a chain of restaurants (Wahlburgers) with his brothers, and some states won’t allow felons to do so. So maybe he hasn’t changed all that much.
This is ridiculous. I hope the request is rejected. If I was the victim I’d fight the whole way.
Colin is right
The Vietnamese victim also wants this conviction cleared and forgives Wahlberg. His eye was damaged before this altercation ever even happened.
all nonsense.
Wahlberg can open the chain under his brother’s name.
Wahlberg is another lifeless, overly compensated entertainer who owes his career
a. to the gay mafia who thought he looked cute in tighty whities.
b. being the brother to the one of the members of a hugely successful pop group.
I will never pay to see a movie this creature stars in.
A few million won’t go amiss on proving you are truly sorry..
There were two separate attacks, with Vietnamese men as the targets both times. One had his skull cracked open, the other lost an eye. Now the latter is claiming he was injured in some other way, which means Mark finally paid him off.
hahahahahahahahahahaha, serious? hahahahahaha
hahahahahahaha, good luck, hahahahahahahaha!!
He is no more criminal than Mitt or Jeb.
If the victim has no problem with it and MW served time for this crime, I say give him another chance. He made stupid choices when he was young and paid the price by being incarcerated. It is my understanding that he will fly the victim out to LA to meet with him. It’s not like this crime happened last month….
