Marky Mark's Big Adventure (The adventure is dealing with his past crimes)

[6souls]

Violent racist crimes no less.

According to court records, in 1988 a 16-year-old Mr Wahlberg brutally attacked a Vietnamese man named Thanh Lam with a stick while spewing racial epithets and knocking him unconscious. Seeing police, Mr Wahlberg fled and found Hoa Trinh, another Vietnamese man. He put his hand around Mr Trinh's shoulder and asked the man to help him hide.

After the police cars had passed, Mr Wahlberg punched Mr Trinh in the eye, permanently blinding him.

Two years earlier he was embroiled in a civil rights action lawsuit because he, along with two friends, allegedly yelled racial slurs and threw rocks at black schoolchildren. He settled that suit without admitting guilt.

In 1992 he managed to dodge criminal charges by settling out of court after a 20-year-old security guard said the actor, unprovoked, had repeatedly kicked him in the face.

and why does he want to be pardoned

Today, however, Mr Wahlberg says he's a changed man - who wants a liquor license for his restaurant.

"I am deeply sorry for the actions that I took on the night of 8 April, 1988, as well as for any lasting damage that I may have caused the victims," he writes in the petition. "Since that time, I have dedicated myself to becoming a better person and citizen so that I can be a role model to my children and others."

A pardon would legally free Mr Wahlberg up for more than just a liquor license for his family's Boston-based restaurant, Wahlburgers. It would also allow him to do work as a parole or probation officer in the US state of California - the other reason he cited in his petition.

All about money.

[Zetanio]

This pardons him.

[Kuya]

In exchange for the pardon, he should be required to legally change his name to marky mark.

This seems very fair.

Marky Mark is the best, pardon him forever.

Also, he was 16, who cares what he did when he was 16.

[Salodin]

He was 18.

It's been 23 years since the second issue he had, according to that article. If 23 years isn't enough time to become a "not racist", then what the fuck?

Point is Marky Mark was a naughty boy as a child and has the money and fame to now attempt being pardoned. Who cares! Only 16! That guy didn't need his eye anyway. Pretty sure the people who have criminal records that have fucked up their entire lives because of some shit they did young care.

Oh 'Murica.

This is basically what it is.

[Salodin]

He's an actor, as long as he isn't a sexual deviant people in his profession aren't generally ostracized because of prior crimes. This goes for every one in that industry. That doesn't even answer my point, that he is literally over twice as old as he was then; there is no reason to believe he couldn't have changed.

That's another part of it. But you know how SJWs are, he's white so anything he does must be him flaunting his white privilege.

I love marky mark.

Apparently the vietnamese got blinded in that eye when he served alongside the U.S military in south vietnam. I would say pardon him solely because the victim has pardoned him.
