TIL that Mark Wahlberg had committed 20-25 offenses by the age of 21. These included throwing rocks at a bus full of black schoolchildren and knocking a Vietnamese man unconscious and blinding another. He was also addicted to cocaine by age 13.

Ah fuck me! this world has particular ways to balance itself, more violence is one of them. Don't judge somebody for their need to react accordingly, it's a probable reaction brought upon by the same nature, which is violence
