1 of Mark Wahlberg's victims says he shouldn't be pardoned !!!
[link to news.yahoo.com (secure)]

A victim of one of Mark Wahlberg's racially motivated attacks as a teenage delinquent in segregated Boston in the 1980s insists he shouldn't be granted a pardon for his crimes.

Kristyn Atwood was among a group of mostly black fourth-grade students on a field trip to the beach in 1986 when Wahlberg and his white friends began hurling rocks and shouting racial epithets as they chased them down the street.

"I don't think he should get a pardon," Atwood, now 38 and living in Decatur, Georgia, said in an interview with The Associated Press.

"I don't really care who he is. It doesn't make him any exception. If you're a racist, you're always going to be a racist. And for him to want to erase it I just think it's wrong," she said.

Isn't there a statute of limitations for all crimes?

It's funny how all these celebs go on for years and years without their victims bringing up charges against them for their alleged crimes.

It isn't until tptb and hollywood need to silence them because of something they know, that we hear about these sorta things.

The question is what does he know? He needs to speak up fast!!!

It's like the Bill Cosby rape allegations. How is it that none of his 20+ supposed victims decide to press charges for decades? I don't buy it, sorry.

Okay, so everything I'm reading about this is saying it's not that he would face any additional punishments from his past crimes...its that he's trying to get his record expunged.

Well I'm sorry, but just because he's a celebrity, shouldn't give him any special exemptions. He committed the crimes, he has a record. He should deal with it, just like any one else would have to. And let's face it...its not as if having a criminal record has, or will, bear any negative consequences on his professional endeavors, so what is he complaining about? A lot of us make bad choices in our earlier years and change who we are. And if you have a criminal record, it's your own damn fault, even if you're "sorry" later on in life. That's life. He shouldn't get special status just because he's a celebrity.

If they even ponder the idea of giving him a pardon, then they should do it for the 100's of thousands of offenders who have made a mistake in the past but have stayed out of trouble since. After all that is what he is claiming right??

Somebody needs to learn how to forgive - not for the offender but for the offended.
Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.

Whatever feels good to your soul, do that.
