Wahlberg, in a pardon application filed in November and pending before the state parole board, acknowledges he was a teenage delinquent mixed up in drugs, alcohol and the wrong crowd. He points to his ensuing successful acting career, restaurant ventures and philanthropic work with inner city youths as evidence he's turned his life around. View Quote The 43-year-old former rapper, Calvin Klein model and "Boogie Nights" actor wants official forgiveness for a separate, more severe attack in 1988, in which he assaulted two Vietnamese men while trying to steal beer. That attack sent one of the men to the hospital and landed Wahlberg in prison. View Quote http://news.yahoo.com/mark-wahlbergs-victims-divided-over-pardon-request-065151453.html Wow. |

I believe people can change.
I don't know if he's really changed. It should be up to the victims. |
|
It's been 27 years.
At some point, your record should be clean.
|
|
I'm not above forgiving a man for his crimes.
Unless those crimes include, rape, murder, or crimes against children. If you're guilty of those, then a short drop and a sudden stop is what should be in your immediate future. |
|
I believe he has paid his price to society and I would have no problem with him being granted a pardon.

I dont understand what he would get out of this?
its not like its hurting him financially doesnt seem like he is having a hard time finding a job |
|

|
With the drugs he has admitted to doing and the past hate crime, I fail to see how he could become an armed RO.

Not sure. I know he couldn't get a job at Gander Mountain, not that he would want one. Maybe he wants to vote, although I can't image what douche he would want to vote for. |

If he's changed, you would have thought he would have tried to make things right with that Vietnamese guy he beat and blinded, but he's never even contacted him. Just another Hollywood fucktard IMO

Who gives a fuck whether he's pardoned or not? And why should it matter to him?
Does it stand in the way of getting roles in movies? No. Does it stand in the way of earning money? No. Does anyone besides him give a shit? No. It's just a PR stunt to say in the news. What's not being considered is whether he should get a pardon for being a mouth-breather who delivers every line in a movie like he just sprinted two miles to the movie set. |

He just beat him so bad he was knocked unconscious with a stick that broke in half, and Marky Mark himself thought for 26 years he blinded him, but never bothered to make amends in spite of his wealth. |

He can get a pardon the very first time he acts in a movie where I don't want to kill him for being a rotten actor.

Quoted:
No pardon, just on principal alone. View Quote This. He has served his time and paid the price for his crime. However, he still committed the crimes and they cannot be erased from his victims lives so why the hell should they be erased from his? If the victims are prepared to pardon him then so be it. Otherwise he needs to suck it up and accept that what he did is now a part of his past. Consequences. |

IMHO, I don't care. He was a bad teenager, now he's a bad actor.

In all the dupes of this issue, has there ever been a single quote or statement from any of his victims? No? No one involved with the process thinks that is a relevant issue? (I agree with Funky). Now Walberg was a "juvenile" when this happened, so he is probably hiding behind the sealed records in his case. But HE certainly knows exactly who his victims are and can find them if he wants. I suspect he either found them (and they told him to **** off) or he does not want them heard from at all. Until then, no pardon. |
