Badass Mark Wahlberg Seeks Pardon

Is he regretting anything, or just clearing up his name so he can open another restaurant?
MW Seeks Pardon for Racial Assaults
He was 17 at the time.
quote:
Actor Mark Wahlberg has filed a petition with the Massachusetts governor’s office seeking a pardon for criminal convictions stemming from his brutal 1988 assault of an immigrant he referred to as a “Vietnam fricking shite.”
MW Seeks Pardon for Racial Assaults
quote:
Wahlberg, 43, also reports that his criminal convictions “still legally impact me to this day,” noting that his prior record could be used to deny him a concessionaire’s license in California, where he lives with his wife and four children. He adds that this is an “important consideration given my personal involvement in various restaurant ventures.”
quote:
Wahlberg’s pardon request includes a description of the April 1988 incident during which he attempted to steal two cases of beer from Tranh Lam as he departed a convenience store in Dorchester (where Wahlberg grew up). Wahlberg hit Lam over the head with a large wooden stick, knocking the victim unconscious. As he fled the crime scene, Wahlberg punched a second man, Hoa Trinh, in the face.
He was 17 at the time.

I actually know Mark Wahlberg. I met him while he was filming 2 guns down here. He's a really good guy, and he goes to church everyday. We played basketball a bunch. I can say he is one of the nicest people I've ever met.

I love Marky Mark, but he shouldn't get a pardon. I could understand if he was 17-21 ish. But at 26 years old, no excuse for that.

He was born in 1971. Math isn't your strong point, eh.

This doesn't add up. I think he was still a teenager at the time.
ETA: I see this has been touched on.

should not get a pardon at all.
if he doesn't commit the crime, he wouldn't need the pardon.
is that how the saying goes here?

26? Damn I was expected like 18-19. Marky Mark was a TPOS

Definitely shouldn't get a pardon.
He lives a good, fruitful life. Good for him.

See a political run in his future. Sure he is trying to clear his past a little with this.

Can't get a license but is allowed to shoot guns in almost every film he's in.

Also...
I don't think he has a snowball's chance in hell.....
quote:
In unrelated court filings, government lawyers accused the teenaged Wahlberg and two friends of chasing and throwing rocks at black schoolchildren. On successive days, the trio screamed racial epithets at the students and, during one chase, “the group of white males yelled, “Kill the n****r, kill the n****r,” according to a government complaint.
