Lone Survivor star Mark Wahlberg: Prohibited from touching guns?
January 30, 2014
Mark Wahlberg, star of the current hit movie Lone Survivor, has a checkered past.
In fact, as a 16-year-old, Walberg pled guilty in 1988 to two counts of criminal contempt after beating a Vietnamese man badly enough that the victim of the attack lost an eye and was sentenced to two years in prison. The original charge was attempted murder.
At approximately 9:00 p.m. on April 8, 1988 Thanh Lam, a Vietnamese adult male who resides in Dorchester, traveled by car to 998 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, Massachusetts. At 998 Dorchester Avenue, Thanh Lam left his car carrying two cases of beer. As he crossed the sidewalk, Mark Wahlberg attacked Thanh Lam. Wahlberg was carrying a large wooden stick, approximately five feet long and two to three inches in diameter. Wahlberg approached Thanh Lam calling him a “Vietnam f,” then hit him over the head with the stick. Thanh Lam was knocked to the ground unconscious. The stick broke in two and was later recovered from the scene. Thanh Lam was treated overnight at Boston City Hospital.
After police arrested Wahlberg later on the night of April 8, 1988, Wahlberg was informed of his rights and returned to the scene of 998 Dorchester Avenue. In the presence of two police officers, he stated: “You don’t have to let him identify me, I’ll tell you now that’s the mother- who’s head I split open,” or words to that effect.
As a police officer arrived at the scene of 998 Dorchester Avenue, Wahlberg and two other youths who were with him fled up Dorchester Avenue toward Pearl Street.

“Markie Mark. Rapper. Nuff said.”
No.
Dot rat. Nuff said.
Dot rat? Had to look it up. Found it.
Some people just need killin’
Or it became one somewhere along the way. When Wahlberg was born in the 1970s it wasn't. By 1988, things had begun to change. It's when neighborhoods are in transition that incidents like this happen.
Well I was never a liberal and I indeed have a heart. Cute little quote but totally wrong.
