Crime being committed
A felon with a gun. I wonder if the ATF will come by my house to ask me if I witnessed this one?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I did not know this about Walhberg had convictions as a felon. If he does, and I believe so from what I have read, the yes he should be held to the law.
This also makes me wonder if I will go see the move Shooter. I do not want to aid in the commision of a felon.

Glass houses, the hypocrisy is breath taking. Seems like liberal jury nullification because he is a Hollywood Star.

Depends on where his convictions were, ie, state v. federal. If they’re state, then IIRC an expungement of the state conviction would mean he probably has a clean record as far as the feds are concerned.
They do the same thing with DV misdemeanors, except they don’t like the way Wyoming says “your conviction is expunged but we’ll keep a record of it” (that issue is currently in court). Someone as wealthy and well-connected as Wahlberg could get a good attorney to take care of it all for him, much like Sean Penn has gotten rid of his DV record.

I’ll repeat the same question here that I dropped in over at the linked URL.
Also, given the numerous shooting locations for this film, how do you even know in what country the picture was taken?
Though I’d read “The Day Before Midnight” a few years earlier, Stephen Hunter’s “Point of Impact” was the first Bob Lee Swagger novel that I read. I don’t know how it will translate to the big screen, but it is an excellent novel.

He’s not a felon, because of a strange quirk of Massachusetts law (coincidentally the same one which allows Ted Kennedy to serve in congress).
In MA, if one does not receive a sentence of 24 months or more, in a prison not a jail; no matter the crime, one is not counted as a felon.
Mark Wahlberg only received an 18 month sentence which was suspended, plus 45 days confinement in a county jail, for assault and attempted murder, because he was only 16 and 17 when the crimes occurred.
He would be disqualified from a CCW in most states, but he is not officially a felon according to the FBI or ATF.

… that’s fairly impressive. The man has admitted to theft, auto theft, drug use, and assault and battery with a deadly weapon leading to severe injury, and he might not be a felon?
Thank you, Massachusetts, where the innocent have everything to fear from the law, and the criminals nothing.
