a pattern of pre-meditated serial drugging & raping over the course of 4 decades and repeated attempts to bury/deny accusations or was an impulsive shithead when he was 16 and then grew up

45 days for attempted murder? That's not even close to serving time.

Can you imagine if Marky-Mark was a black teenager who threw rocks at kids and blinded an old man in a robbery? He wouldn't have made it to the age of 20.

maybe you should become a judge or prosecutor and actually change something rather than bitching on the something awful forums about something that happened decades ago

He was 16, and MA is pretty light on sentencing for most kinds of crime. Especially for minors and people with no real priors.

I don't see why he should be pardoned but Average Joe American wouldn't be pardoned. If he gets this removed from his record, then so should anyone else who has gone on to live a life without committing any additional crimes.

That's my whole point. I really don't think we would be having this conversation if Mark Wahlberg wasn't at all famous. I wouldn't mind if he was actually remorseful, but he never bothered to make reparations to the man he blinded or apologize or anything. And he has more than enough resources to do so.

Mark Wahlberg Is Seeking a Pardon for His 1988 Assault Conviction

Fun fact: as a young man, Mark Wahlberg committed multiple hate crimes. He threw rocks at black schoolchildren and shouted racial slurs at them, and was actually charged with attempted murder for beating and permanently blinding a Vietnamese man in one eye. (Again, while shouting racial slurs.) He served 45 days in prison. Now he's asking to be pardoned for it because being an attempted murderer is keeping him from mentoring troubled youth or some poo poo.

If Wahlberg didn't have the extraordinary luck of being a celebrity, right now a guy named Slinky would be tattooing a swastika onto Marky-Mark as he served his third sentence for armed robbery in a correctional facility. poo poo, my uncle tried to kill a guy with a shovel once and he ended up being a homeless heroin addict.

Wahlberg didn't even apologize, he was just like "lol my bad about that thing with the hate crime, I'd apologize to that fine Vietnamese fellow but I haven't gotten around to it yet because I'm too busy being a movie star. It's cool though, I forgive myself and I go to church like a million times a year"

Youre only asking him to make reparations or apologize as a celebrity..if he wasnt one right now you wouldnt be asking him to do anything. Sure hes held to a higher standard now, but he shouldnt be expected to apply that standard to past behavior as well. and maybe the guy he blinded had it coming, who knows. If he doesnt feel remorseful its not on anyone to demand it of him, especially since it was before he became famous.

Hes a dancing monkey for all intents and purposes, what is he, your ethical guide? Let him dance, dont ask so many questions. He doesnt have anything else to tell you

If you demanded perfect ethical behavior from everyone who ever appeared on a big screen, you would be thinning the ranks real quick. Theyre dancing monkeys, let them have their hosed up off screen lives and theyll clap their cymbals for you the rest of the time

The pardon has to come from the governor of the state. Literally asking the highest executive of a state to erase his record so he can get a liquor license or some poo poo. Pardons are for miscarriages of justice or when you're convicted under a stupid rear end law, not so you can have a better life because of some stupid poo poo you did in your past. I'm sure there are thousands of people that can't get decent jobs or do what they want because of dumbass decisions made when they were younger, and they don't petition the governor to abloo abloo expunge their record, or if they did, it isn't seriously considered.

He has had a successful career as an actor, and thats awesome for him. Doesn't mean the other guy can somehow see again after he tried to murder him. Also why doesn't he just donate money to the guy he hurt instead of shrugging about it.
