What do you think. Should Marky Mark get a pardon for beating a Vietnamese man senseless? I say no. Too bad the Vietnamese guy wasn't armed so he could have dispatched Marky to the same fate as other people who have assaulted and viciously beaten innocent people.

Quick justice is the best kind of justice.

I think Calvin Klein has been identified as a hate group by the SPLC.

According to the sentencing memorandum, he confronted Thanh Lam, a Vietnamese man, as he was getting out of his car with two cases of beer. Wahlberg called Lam a "Vietnam f------ s---" and beat him over the head with a 5-foot wooden stick until Lam lost consciousness and the rod broke in two.

Documents say Wahlberg ran up to another Vietnamese man, Hoa Trinh, and asked for help hiding. After a police cruiser drove past, he punched Trinh in the eye. Later, he made crude remarks about Asians.


Wahlberg ultimately was convicted as an adult of two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, marijuana possession and criminal contempt for violating the prior civil rights injunction. He was given a three-month prison sentence, of which he served about 45 days.

I've actually been very surprised that this hasn't garnered more attention than it has.

I didn't think it would be necessary to start a new thread for this, but it's headline news here.

You have guys have news up there, eh? Why bother when there is so much just south of your border?

What is news in America can hardly be considered news in the Friuli province. Perhaps therein lies the meat of the matter?
Why do you watch/read news? What kind(s) of information are you looking for?

Vietnam is a country, not an ethnicity

What makes a "hate crime" worse than a regular crime?
You are correct, but you are smart enough to understand how it was intended.

As for hate crime versus any other crime, I agree.

The punishment for murdering someone should be the same whether race was the reason it was committed or not.

I've wondered that myself. If you harm someone, you harm someone, regardless of your motive. The punishment should be the same.

As far as Marky Mark goes, if it's more than 10 years ago, and he's obviously changed his ways, forgive the man. He was a stupid effing kid. We were all stupid kids once, he grew up and so did we....well some of us anyway.
