My thoughts are Mark Wahlberg did his time oh, and has done nothing but try to make up for it ever since then. He's a man who has completely changed his life around doing nothing more than trying to give back to the society that he harmed very long ago. The second part is it should be noticed this man he supposedly blinded where is already blind by the time Mark Wahlberg attacked him. Mark Wahlberg has never been pardoned for what he did. Yet people refuse to drop it. Especially in light of the fact of all the stated above. He has done nothing but try to reform himself. No good deed goes unpunished however.
