Smh fans coming with the save like: “the Vietnamese guy lying he already lost his sight before the attack” Sooo he attacked a blind guy?

@Elijah1916_myhighway 3 года назад

As if that's supposed to make it any better.

@Cobbido 3 года назад

He attacked a guy that had one eye which he could see out of. Don't try to make it seem like he was completely blind. The Vietnamese guy said himself he lost it during a war. Stating the facts surrounding the assault is not a "save" or an "excuse". It's just the truth. Do you think it's okay to lie? You don't need to invent things to make something seem worse than it is. It's already a bad thing. If you're going to criticize someone for something bad that they've done then you do just that.

@patrickcrawford6392 6 лет назад

That's the thing he WASN'T a man when the crimes were committed. He was an impressionable little kid. I think its admirable that he's come out and openly discussed his past, I know I made a ton of mistakes when I was 14. Were you an angel when you were a kid? For sucks, sake get over yourself!

@allyxx2128 6 лет назад

*This is my opinion* We all make mistakes, especially when we are younger, but not everyone commits a hate crime and ATTACKS PEOPLE physically. Atleast i hope its not normal for 14 year olds to attack people. Maybe he changed as a person (there is a big chance he did) but he should still man up and face the full consequences of his actions and a little guilt or whatever isn't punishment. Im not saying he is still a criminal but this should stay in his records. Period. Some people won't feel sympathy for the victims and just shrug it off, but some will. Even if he was a black or asian kid attacking white kids simply because of their color then it's the same thing for me.

@galenmerrick 5 лет назад

@garethhanby 6 лет назад

The point he has changed his ways (who hasn't since they were teenagers). There is no way his PR consultant would have agreed to this, voluntarily raking up his past and considering his current standing there seems little advantage to him in doing so. He is setting a good example. I was never a Wahlberg fan until The Departed (in which he was brilliant). But this seems like a very brave move that might inspire others.

@jimmie159 8 лет назад

Is there any interviews where he actually discusses the issues of race? Like what he was thinking as a young man, where he learned his bigotry, and why he knows now that it's wrong? Just because you're a successful actor and rich, doesn't mean you've truly evolved from an intellectual standpoint. He could very well be the same asshole, just with money and a filmography now.

@whitedevil2 8 лет назад

Boston in the 70s was a hotbed of racial bigotry, as discussed by several other noteworthy natives. growing up after that, in a poor neighborhood in a poor family that was being split by divorce, it created an atmosphere for hatred to brew.

@jimmie159 8 лет назад

I can understand that, I just wish there was an interview where he reflects on the issues of race to atone for the mistakes of his past. I believe most people have the ability to redeem themselves from past mistakes, but it is important to acknowledge those mistakes to educate oneself and develop from them.

@Anthelion707 7 лет назад

I find it sickening that Matt Lauer didn't see fit to mention the fact that Mark made racist statements to his victims. I believe that Mark is getting by on his white privilege as far as that goes. I believe that he is remorseful and I do know that he has worked with wayward youth for decades but still.... I think that whole bit about him having to deal with the gang in the neighborhood was bs. Donnie was already in New Kids. He was rich and famous. He lifted his family out of poverty. Bullshit that Mark had to deal with those goons. I think his victims should decide if he gets pardoned.

@svenskhund3603 9 лет назад

So all the famous black rappers and actors who reached fame and were involved with drugs and gang violence the same way mark has don't count. No white privilege in here, just something people with souls call forgiveness. I know you probably feel strong about race and I respect you for it because race is still an issue in your country but if you can't see that not everything is so black and white then maybe you can see what actually stinks in America.

Svensk Hund I agree but, the man he blinded in one eye has to watch this idiot on TV and be reminded about his eye on a daily basis. Mark the thug should never be a hero or be on our TV, sorry he lost any right of respect when he blinded an innocent person.

@gwenr8201 6 лет назад

I agree that any unwanted touching (including touching someone on the shoulder) can be an assault. I have been assaulted and harassed myself many times. I am willing to hear about his crimes, but I have heard no stories about children or him forcing himself on anyone. I don't call touching someone FORCE necessarily. The phrase, "sexual assault" has been so corrupted now that I am very dubious when I hear it.

@darockk 8 лет назад

Matt lauer, you need to grill that racist sob. you described his past crimes as simply violent, when they were found to be racially motived against 2 different races in 2 separate incidents. and why not keep asking for the reason he chose to apply for the pardon?

@beccalou4942 9 лет назад

Yeah, I'm done with Wahlberg movies. I'm boycotting the Christmas Day release too. Didn't know he was such a creep! Now I know why I never really liked him. Why aren't the people of Boston beating down the Governor's door for even considering doing something so horribly wrong!!!

@ChaelSonnen000 9 лет назад

Noble Vendetta Congrats, me neither. But some people aren't as lucky. If you haven't noticed, some people are delinquents. Mark Wahlberg realized he was a delinquent and changed himself. He became a better person. So go fuck yourself.

@NCause 9 лет назад

A truly reformed person would have reached out to the people he hurt (since he has the means) and offer them his my sincerest apology first. instead of going through the media to cleanse his name,

@beccatrieu5203 6 лет назад

why do they always avoid the word 'racist' when they mention his previous crimes... they only mention the word 'violent', could mark attempt to clean his reputation without looking like he is?...

He needs to make amends accordingly. I did things at 16 that I've paid the price for. 16 is NOT that sweet & innocent anymore

@James-hm1li 7 лет назад

It's a shame to hear all about this about someone you admired and looked up to. But I don't believe he should be granted a pardon, no one else in society without power and money would be able to have one. Just because he is rich and famous should not make a difference.

@tejasshah210 9 лет назад

You know I will believe Mark came over that and he actually changed but still, I just think after what he's done, he shouldn't be in hollywood. It bothers me and I'm surprised he's swooned over. I know for a fact that some black guy could never get past that and now he and donnie are living the life. This guy didn't even graduate high school. In addition, I am sure if you gave a gangster or homeless racist a job in hollywood, he would change as well. I shouldn't be speculating but I think Donnie or someone he knows got him into hollywood which is just wrong.

Some are commenting that he should apologize privately to the victims, how do you know he hasn't already? As far as going public regarding the pardon... What is more likely, he called a press conference to announce it OR someone somewhere caught wind of it and ran with it? People can change for the better, it sure seems like he has.

@iamsam8446 8 лет назад

Something doesn't add up. If you're trying to portray yourself as someone who is a changed person, doesn't it make sense to with the mistakes you made and show how you've surpassed them. If you remove that felony conviction just because "I'm sorry", doesn't that say if you get successful enough you can manipulate the system? Kids, it comes down to this: DON'T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME. And felonies follow you FOREVER.
