DON’T PARDON MARK WAHLBERG’S HATE CRIME CONVICTION!
Why should someone who has done nothing to support his victims or atone for
his crimes get a pardon?
In 1988, Mark Wahlberg attacked two Asian American men in separate racially
motivated hate crimes. The first, Thanh Lam, was pummeled with a 5-foot long
wooden stick. According to court documents, Wahlberg screamed “Vietnam f**
king sh*t!” as he beat Lam unconscious. After fleeing the scene where he
assailed Lam, Wahlberg beat his second victim, Hoa Trinh, punching him in
the eye and leaving him blind.
Now, over 25 years after these horrific crimes, Wahlberg is petitioning the
Massachusetts State Parole Board and Governor Deval Patrick to pardon his
hate crime conviction. Wahlberg claims that he is a changed man, and no
longer the person he was in 1988 when he shamelessly shattered the lives of
two Asian men.
But Wahlberg’s pardon isn’t an attempt to erase this part of his life and
wipe the racial slate clean. It’s all about business.
In addition to being a highly-paid actor, Mark Wahlberg also owns
Wahlburgers, a successful Boston-based hamburger chain that he plans to
expand into California. And here’s where Wahlberg is really aiming with his
request for a pardon: He wants to build his Wahlburger empire in the state
of California, but will be unable to obtain a liquor license as a convicted
felon. The solution? Get a pardon. Once his record is cleared of his hate
crime, it’s smooth sailing – and he gets to pull in money hand over fist
while his victims bear the scars and blindness he left for them.
We demand that the Massachusetts State Parole Board and Governor Patrick
deny Mark Wahlberg a pardon for his hate crimes. Not only is granting a
pardon an affront to justice, but even asking for one completely disrespects
Wahlberg’s victims. | a***e
