“Transformers actor Mark Wahlberg should not be pardoned for an old racially motivated attack, according to a black woman he victimised in a separate assault.
Wahlberg is seeking a pardon for attacking two Korean men while trying to steal beer in 1988. Two years before that he was in a gang that chased a group of schoolgirls down a street in Boston, hurling bricks and shouting “kill the n*****s”at them.
Speaking to Associated Press, Kristyn Atwood – now aged 38 – said of the star’s slate-cleaning bid: “I don’t think he should get a pardon.” *
