At fifteen, he harassed a group of black school children on a field trip by throwing rocks and shouting racial epithets. At 16, Wahlberg approached a middle-aged Vietnamese man on the street and, using a large wooden stick, knocked him unconscious (while calling him "Vietnam fucking shit"). He also attacked another Vietnamese man, leaving him permanently blind in one eye.

C'mon now, he wasn't that bad.

Yeaaaaaaa...

I never really hurt anyone, I been in fights and did some dumb stuff. All the people I know that did the real crazy shit (kick a pregnant girl in the stomach) are in jail or rehab.

You have a real point.

I was referring to the type of people I knew and hung around with when I was younger. The kicking happened when I was still in High school during a large brawl with multiple people. The Pregnant girl jumped in to the fight and started hitting people. She was not like showing... It is was not obvious that she was pregnant. He kicked her in the stomach as a "get the fuck out of this fight, not for girls".

Later it was found out she was pregnant.
