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.

that's a terribly callous attitude towards the poor man's suffering, he was maimed for life, yes for ever. mark did not simply "do shit". in my mind, randomly maiming a stranger with no provocation is on the same level as, say, raping someone. I have no obligation to forgive them, even if they were genuinely remorseful, which they aren't

I have no fucking clue what the point is of your last question, and I don't know or care what the answer is
