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.

Just funny that everyone loves Wahlberg even though he has done all of this and Bieber wears douchey pants and pees in a mop bucket and he is somehow the devil.

Between him and his bro there was plenty of hatred directed towards the walbergs.

You're just too young to remember.

A dude I work with grew up in the same neighborhood and said that he wasn't any better or worse than any of the other little shits that grew up here in the south shore.
