I am OK with giving him a pardon on the assault 27 years ago, he has actually proven that he is regretful and has rehabilitated himself to become a productive member of society.
However, I am still waiting to figure out what a fitting punishment is for the whole "Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch" thing should be. Is the guillotine still in use anywhere? |

I had no idea Mark Wahlberg had a criminal record or did time.

Fuck that liberal hypocrite, he wants to circumvent the very gun control laws he supports.
|
|
Why does he need this? It can't be so that he can regain the gun rights he lost in his felony conviction:

Mark Walhberg is trying to make it seem that he is the victim here.
The real victims are the guys he beat the hell out of. There are probably more victims for which he never got caught. http://news.yahoo.com/mark-wahlbergs-victims-divided-over-pardon-request-065151453.html He wants to be pardoned so he can become a part-time cop. Like Steven Segal. Forgive him? Absolutely yes. Pardon him simply so he can play police officer on TV? Hell no. |

Just cuz you're an actor now doesn't mean you get a free pass or any special exceptions. Good to know that money can't buy EVERYTHING.

See why its important to clarify your meaning? View Quote I think common sense takes hold at some point. I don't think assault rises to child rape in any case. There is a process in place to clear records, and it should be followed. If I had my way, I think you should be able to recover from some charges with the consent of the aggrieved. After all, it's them that were/are affected. |

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. View Quote It stands in the way of him enjoying all of the rights that you and I enjoy, even if we all universally agree that he's a proper douchebag for unrelated reasons. |

I'm of the general opinion that if you've "paid your debt to society" your rights should be restored the instant you leave the custody of whatever governing body you were subject to...........because if not then they aren't really rights.

It's called voter disenfranchisement, and in CA, felons can vote once they are out of jail and finish their parole period. Therefore, Wahlberg can vote. |

No pardon. Zero fucks given. |

He wants his record clean so he can buy some guns and be a typical hypocritical hollyweird type.
I will agree if there is a stipulation he cannot own guns. Fuck'em. |

You know I definitely believe in second chances and I don't think all felonies should stick for life (though some most definitely should), I am not so sure Marky Mark deserves this. Apparently he is still a huge asshole and apparently also still violent

At the 2000 MTV Movie Awards, Wahlberg suggested on stage that the "Best Villain” award be given to Heston: "I believe Charlton Heston is America’s best villain because he loves guns so much. Maybe he should get the award for being president of the National Rifle Association.” But his anti-gun attitude didn’t stop there. "Well, I would love it if they could take all the guns away. Unfortunately, you can’t do that so you hope that good people in the world have them to protect the people who can’t protect themselves,” he said in an April 26, 2007, edition of the Herald Sun.

The United States shouldn't have second class citizens living outside of prison walls. View Quote I agree absolutely. Either they're still dangerous and should still be behind bars or they've paid their debt to society and get to re-enter it. This half ass system we have today just sucks for all concerned from the tax payer and law enforcement to the convicted criminal. Employers being able to see past convictions is rough as well since it seriously limits the jobs these guys can get after they get out. Punishment should fit the crime and a life long punishment doesn't fit a lot of non-violent victimless felonies. |

Supposedly, he wants to sell alcohol, for which he needs a clean record.
On a completely unrelated note on "genuine remorse", for some reason I remembered what Lawrence Bittaker answered a few years ago when asked if he felt sorry for any of his victims. "How many times can I say that again? Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm truly sorry I was caught." |
