Marcus Luttrell didn’t have a problem with it.

He became a Hollyweird performer.

So as one of the elites’ performing stage monkies...

To the elites, the more criminal, immoral, corrupt and confused the monkey is, the more helpful the monkey is to their agendas and the easier it is for them to the control the monkey.

Sometimes, the drugs and alcohol are indulged in a little too much, and the monkey becomes useless as a performer, but to the elites, there are plenty more where that one came from !

Needless to say, for the most part crime, wackiness and immorality are not only acceptable in Hollyweird, they’re encouraged by the head stewards of Hollyweird, the studio heads and boards of directors, who supervise the entire performing monkey mind control machine on behalf of the elites.

Of course, for those performing monkeys whose primary target audience amongst the sheeple are law-abiding sheeple, a thin veneer of respectability must be maintained publicly.

Wahlberg was great in The Departed, but it wasn’t acting. He nailed it because that was him - full stop. 3 decamen and all.

If it was considered a felony, maybe now he wants to buy a firearm.

Is Hoa Trinh going to get his eye back?

No, he won't. I don't think the state should be able to punish you forever without holding you, though.

After you serve your sentence, you should be free to travel, own a weapon, hold office, or vote. If you can't do those things, the state retains jurisdiction.

If a pardon is the only way to get past that, I would support him or anyone else getting that pardon if they fulfill the requirements.

Really, though, what I support is the state punishing you, and then that punishment being done and over with. Then you could keep your conviction, businesses and such would be able to privately decide if you deserve hiring or trust or whatever, but lose the lifetime of being followed by the state.

If you are too messed up to own a gun, vote, or whatever, you should still be in prison. No half-way efforts.

Lived there for some time in Quincy though hated it, and yes you are correct.

The racism in MA, but also mainly Boston is the worst I have ever seen or heard.

South Boston where Marky Mark is from is a cesspit of racism.

Pardons are generally reserved for people that have been wrongly convicted of a crime, or people that have been convicted of a crime related to some stupid or convoluted law.

If we think people should be able to vote, have a concessionaire licence, own a firearm, etc. after paying their debt to society, we should change those laws.
