Mark Wahlberg - Attempted Murderer

Tweet

I recently wrote a discussion about whether a Actor or Musician's political opinion would change whether you still liked them as an Entertainer. This also brought to mind how people seem to be more upset by a political opinion then something else in there bacgkround, link to my previous post at the bottom of this one. Now i will be writing about several different Actor's and Musician's whom have been accused of commiting horrible crimes. Mark Wahlberg as a young teenager before hitting it big as Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch spent 45 days in prison. Mark, was in a gang from the age of 14, and had been in and out of trouble with the law over 20 times, it was when he was 16 that he attacked two viatnamese men with a large wooden stick in a racially motivated attack that he would serve time in prison. Wahlberg was arrested and initially charged with attempted murder, but it was later reduced to criminal contempt. Mark would quit his gang, and meet with a prison parish priest whom would help in turning his life around. It was his brother Donnie Wahlberg who was already famous as a member of New Kids On The Block whom helped his brother form Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, and from there the rest was history. Mark Wahlberg is now one of the most sucessful, and sought after actors in Hollywood. No one ever mentions his history of being in gang, or how he was involved in racially motivated assault whom if police had not showed up may have been even worse.
