Mark Wahlberg.
In 1988, Wahlberg, after a series of arrests (he's an admitted car thief and drug dealer), attacked a Vietnamese immigrant. Respected news sources say he took the man's eye out with a meathook, in order to steal his beer. But I can't see the full details of his assault because Wahlberg--who was 17 and tried as an adult--had the records sealed, according to officials at Boston's Suffolk County courthouse. The one court document that was mysteriously obtained by The Smoking Gun states that in the process, Wahlberg called the man a "Vietnam f-cking shit." When police brought him to the victim to have him identified, Wahlberg responded:
You don't have to let him identify me. I'll tell you now that's the mother-f-cker whose head I split open.
Wahlberg was charged with attempted murder and was sentenced to two years in the Massachusetts' Deer Island House of Corrections. He served only 45 days.
Before that, in 1986, Wahlberg was convicted of assaulting a 12-year-old Black boy and his brother and sister near Wahlberg's Dorchester neighborhood. Wahlberg and two friends chased them on bikes, through rocks at them, and told them:
We don't like Black ni--ers in the area so get the f-ck away from the area.
While throwing the rocks, Wahlberg and friends yelled:
Kill the ni--er. Kill the ni--er.
A Black girl was hit by one of the rocks.
Wahlberg bragged to USA Weekend:
I was arrested so many times.
In another interview, he bragged that the number of arrests was in the teens or twenties.
And he bragged to ABC's "Nightline" that he has never contacted the Vietnamese victim he mutilated or his other victims (to apologize or make things right) because he doesn't feel he has to. He's "made amends" by making a lot of money in successful pop music, modeling, and acting careers. He says he sleeps very well at night.
This is the kind of man who stars in a movie calling America a criminal nation and our generals and lesser-ranked soldiers criminals, rapists, and murderers for oil.
Wahlberg claims this movie
speaks to the sort of stuff we as a country are going through right now. I really wanted to make it.
Uh, no, it doesn't speak to anything America has ever done or gone through, Mark. It's fiction, unlike your criminal past.
Mark Wahlberg needs to stop delivering lectures to moviegoers about this great country that unfortunately gave so much to someone so undeserving--and unrepentant criminal thug.
