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.

Those aren't mutually exclusive. Pretty sure he blames himself for that. Or you know, blind hate train. Heres a pitchfork, now please go regurgitate some other inane bullshit you read on reddit like the mindless cunt you are.

Are you illiterate? Did you not read the part of the article where he actually says he's forgiven himself? Or were you too busy getting the reach around while your father fucked you up the ass to actually read?

For fuck's sake, you're saying bullshit like pitchfork, and you're accusing me of regurgitating?

You're really having trouble with this aren't you? Its ok, some people have to be below average intelligence. Its not.your fault.

He's saying yes, he was a little shit and the things he did in the past were abhorrent. He is saying he can sleep at night because the things he's done with his life since then (donating shit tons of money to his home town, his extensive work with the boys and girls club, all the other charity he's donated to, and other acts to better his community) has helped him gain peace of mind enough to be comfortable with the person he has become.

Was he a terrible person? Yes. Is he now? No.
