Mark Wahlberg wants to be pardoned for assaults he committed in 1988, including hitting a Vietnamese man in the head with a stick and punching another. Not everyone’s sympathetic. Johnny Trinh, whom Wahlberg struck as a teen, said recently, “He was young and reckless but I forgive him now.” But the star’s former bodyguard Leonard Taylor — who separately claimed Wahlberg attacked him in 2001 — doesn’t think he deserves clemency. “He hasn’t changed his ways, he just has money now where he can cover it up,” Taylor told us this week. “You can take Mark out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of Mark.”
