This guy has some brass kahunas.... I don't normally post crap like this, but this peeves me. Just saw this on the news.. But this hypocrite wants a full pardon from all his felony crimes because it's impacting his life to this day and thinks he deserves it for changing his life for the better. He may even want to get involved in law enforcement. Screw him.... I like his movies, but his war wounds must stay.

 

What say you? keep thread clean or it will end up in the local tar pit.

given his propensity for his anti-gun rhetoric, I say fuck him and the horse he rode in on. but then I considered... if he gets his "rights" back he can be used as an example for us "common folk" who've might have done stupid stuff on our 'yute and have turned their lives around.

millionaire =/= "common folk"

 

you or i would never get this consideraton

 

double eff him

Sorry, but unless you were unlawfully charged, it sticks. If you were on community service all your life without pay, then and only then, I may consider a bold request such as that, but I'd still say no. Despite him saying it is impacting his life is the most beiggest piece of bs yet. He ain't poor, he's constantly got work and even has the family business. If 5 people remind him a year remind him of what an arsehole he use to be, is still not enough to grant him crap. Let him suck it up and go home. His chance to show remorse was when the case was fresh. Not now, not later...

You are correct... we would not be granted that and to think the rich have the right to even ask, burns my goat.

Come on guys, keep it clean. Language is public here.

Maybe they should change the name of Walhburgers to Felonburgers.

Nope. No pardon. He doesn't deserve it.

Doubt he gets his wish unless he starts contributing big time to the democrats, then he may have a chance.  How much is a pardon in MA worth these days. 

I am not going to take someone's politics into account when judging them. 

If a person can go a certain amount of time without getting in trouble with the law, I do support expunging criminal records for certain classes of crimes. I can think of many things I did as a teenager into my early 20's that, had I been caught, would be following me around today. While none of it involved whacking someone with a stick, an unlucky break here or there could've resulted in a  a criminal charge. Perhaps different classes of crimes should require different lengths of time to "work off" a criminal offense. If Mr Wahlberg has managed to go without committing a crime since 1988, it is probably a safe bet that he is not a threat to society. 

Not just whacking someone with a stick. The guy lost his eye from what I understand from past stories. Point is, nobody would request that in society under the norm. I hope the judge looks at him and tells him he's doing ok with the judgements in place. This would set too much of a precedent. Especially any felonies. If he were struggling in life due to it... might be a different story.

Screw him! Didn't he blind the poor guy he whacked w/ the stink? He's a rich, entitled, anti a-hole. The hell w/ him. Save your consideration, compassion, forgiveness for the rest of us regular folk, struggling to get by.

I wasn't limiting the expungement process to rich guys. I wasn't excluding them either. All should be equal under the law. Maybe there shouldn't be expungement for crime if it reaches a certain level of violence (the article does not mention the severity of the attack, by the way). I just believe that a DUI, drug arrest, fist fight and the like are things that otherwise good people can get caught up in in their youth. I don't think that they should be an albatross to hang around their necks for the rest of their lives. 

Remember, this is Mass-a-two-shits we're talking about.

The Commonwealth where Fat Teddy got off without spending a single night at the GrayBar Hotel for drowning Mary Jo.

And they let him stay in the Senate too, until the day he croaked and went straight to Hell.

 

So I say to Marky-Mark, no friggin way.

Keep doing your 'pennance'

Maybe G-d will forgive you when your time comes.

You did the crime - now do the time.

 

But we all know that $$$ talks and bullshite walks.

So look for him to get that pardon, regardless of which party is in power.

given his propensity for his anti-gun rhetoric, I say fuck him and the horse he rode in on. but then I considered... if he gets his "rights" back he can be used as an example for us "common folk" who've might have done stupid stuff on our 'yute and have turned their lives around.

Playing devil's advocate here, you don't think he should be pardoned based on his anti-gun views?  I hope you understand that the two are COMPLETELY irrelevant.

I say nay.  What we (as legal gun owners) have, is a reflection of our choices thus far in life.  If you're willing to break the law, be willing to deal with the consequences of being caught and found guilty.

Happens for normal people all the time, even in Jersey. My limited experience is that it seems to be about 10 years of keeping your nose clean and wanting a pardon and expungment because the record is harming you or you desire a restoration of rights. Or in some states it becomes a formality once you reach old age. I have a friend in Jersey that will be trying this soon after 10 years with no charges.

 

Although, I would bet Wahldouche has better chances than most. Not in consideration of his crimes (which I don't know), but because he has money and probably some influence.

This is a members only forum section and there has always been cursing here (within reason). Even when they had the word filter

It's the General section and while I'm no advocate of cursing because I do a lot in the right company, the F word could stay out of it I'm sure.

I can't remember if it was the guy Wahlberg was stealing the booze from or the guy he punched because he wouldn't hide him from the police. What has Wahlberg done for the guy who lost his eye? He could easily throw him a million or two without interfering with his life style. He claimed he did these assaults while under the influence of drugs. Aren't these the drugs that should be legalized according to some? Aren't these supposed to mellow you and are harmless?

 

He was initially charged with attempted murder. Bargained down to assault and although he was a juvenile sent to a regular prison with something like a 3 year sentence. Released after 45 days. Maybe Bubba had showed Wahlberg he wasn't that tough in those 45 days. I say he got his break there and doesn't deserve a pardon.

 

Wahlberg also claimed he was booked on Flight 93 on 9/11 (claimed by probably 1000 other people). Publicity hound that he is he claims if he had been on the plane there would have been blood all over and in the end he'd be reassuring passengers they'd be landing safely soon. He doesn't know the difference between being a movie action hero and a real hero.

 

He got his break first by doing only 45 days and second by making millions because the entertainment industry doesn't care what kind of evil you've done as long as they can make money.

I am all for anyone getting their record wiped clean for youthful indiscretions. God knows that I did allot of really stupid things when I was young and some have come back to bite me in the ass. I did not get a really good job because of a licenses suspension (for to many points not DUI). However I do not believe that any one (regardless of their position on guns) should ever have their record cleared for any violent crime. Especially one that permanently disables someone else. I don't care if they have turned their life around and were awarded a Nobel piece prize. He blinded a innocent mans eye because he was a bigot, even if he was drunk their is no excuse. years ago in my youth I more often than not was under the influence of drugs and booze but I never committed a violent crime so the whole "I was high or drunk" defense is a bunch of crap. In my experience when someone is under the influence of drugs or alcohol their real character comes out and they say what they are really thinking in their head. I believe that Wahlberg should suffer for his actions for the rest of his life just like the guy he robbed of half his eyesight will have to suffer for the rest of his life.

Heard on the news yesterday that he wants the pardon so he can become a "reserve" police officer in LA.

 

Guess he's been watching too much Steven Segal

actually I think its more to do with his chain of restaurants wanting to expand and get liqueur license. I read somewhere that since hes a felon MA wont allow him the license. I think hes using the cop excuse as a cover.

Maybe.

Are you kidding me?

 

I've met minorities in NJ with millions of dollars in assets beyond their primary residences, even tens of millions, and they start 8A companies and get $50MM set aside contracts from the federal government. They have had me on their roster sheet as an employee or contractor. Sometimes there are two companies or three for a $20 million contract, 20 white people in the room not worth $500K each to do the work and one brown person (usually an Indian) with $5 million in the bank he shifted to his kids or an LLC with other "members" and he gets the contract simply because he is not white.

 

This is real, and it happens every day, in New Jersey. If you are not white, you have no excuse for not having a windfall of federal money and riches.

 

There is no way Wahlberg's paid people are so stupid that they can't structure to get liquor licenses at his restaurants.

I read a article that in MA they play by different games. I cant find the article atm
