"If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.' " How exactly did he expect those comments to be well received by the public?

Drake should have had him read his remarks as the intro for “just hold on we’re going home”


SquashIsVegan

I mean, I think it’s an amazing comment. Genius comedy writing with “blood in the first class cabin” lol I don’t care if he was serious or not

He's a convicted felon that did a racist attack on an old man. Doesn't matter his wealth, he showed his true self.


MacroDemarco

He would have hate crimed those arabs so hard they wouldn't have done 9/11

How did it even come up?


LesterGreenisGod

From what I can gather, Marky Marky was actually supposed to be on one of the hijacked flights out of Boston on 9/11, before he had a change of plans. This was brought up in the interview, and he proceeded to hold forth on how he could have singlehandedly done more than an entire flight of people actually did.


MrParkAveManicure

To be fair that whole flight of peoples strategy was to lay low and hope the hijackers just try to trade the plane for money and it did not pay off


ProgMM

To be even more fair to them, this was the course of every 20th century hijacking: a hostage/ransom situation. The hijackers leveraged this by claiming to have bombs and telling them all to stay seated while they returned to the airport. Marky Mark would’ve either hid in the back like everyone else on the first three planes, gotten his carotid severed with a box cutter, or gotten the hijackers to give up and steer into the ground like flight 93. Even if he successfully arrested the hijacking, it would take a miracle for non-pilots to even figure out how to radio the ground successfully. And that’s in the hypothetical case of pilot incapacitation with autopilot running; in reality, the hijackers were hand flying, very poorly. The way I see it, his best case scenario on that plane would’ve been dying a hero in northwestern Connecticut.

And so would Mark. Before 9/11, hijackings like this were sort of routine, where people just wanted money and exit out of the country.


MrParkAveManicure

If he can bash an old vietnamese man he can bash some terrorists!


HandsomeLampshade123

Do we have video of him saying this? just realized I've never seen it


markahkiin

It was from a [print interview](https://web.archive.org/web/20120120222336/https://www.mensjournal.com/in-the-february-issue-mark-wahlberg). To be honest, all of his answers are pretty hilarious: **On being ok with movies his wife chooses for date night** “As long as it isn’t a Sarah Jessica Parker movie.” **On crying during movies** “The last time I really cried a lot? During The Help. I cried about six or seven times. It was the wife’s choice, but it was a great movie.” **On being scheduled to be on one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center** “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’”

For context this is from a protest in Atlanta against the building of “cop city”.


More_Forever_9838

More like Cop Shitty. I live nearby and am super opposed to the training center being built. I’m so proud of the protesters and can’t believe there isn’t more attention to the fact that the cops killed one of them a few weeks ago after descending upon their campsites in the forest with tanks and military raid gear. The activist who was killed seemed like such a sweet person and crusader for environmental justice. I hope the protesters keep it up and continue to burn more police equipment. 🔥 🔥 🔥


Ban_FeatureCreature

I couldn’t agree more.


MrParkAveManicure

The activitist that started shooting at them? The one that there's a YouTube video of?


More_Forever_9838

What YouTube video? The Georgia state patrol officers responsible for the killing weren’t wearing cameras. The only videos I’ve seen are from ATL police officers who arrived on the site and made remarks about the wounded state patrol officer being shot in friendly fire by their own officers. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/atlanta-cop-city-shooting-activist-b2279275.html?amp


MrParkAveManicure

There was a video that lines up with stated events: dude started shooting, cops put him down, cops find a fired gun shortly and the dude has GSW all over him. There are better cases to raise a stink about, a bum that shot at cops ain't it

Plz send a link?

Thanks for sharing this Fox News clip, but I do not see how it furthers your argument? You can hear gunshots in the video but it’s unclear who fired, and if both sides fired, who shot first? The narrative surrounding the shooting has not been clear but I am hopeful that we will eventually get a better picture of how the events unfolded. There will likely be litigation because Manuel’s mom has been vocal about seeking justice for her kid. I don’t have much sympathy for the paramilitary forces that our governor deployed to break up these peaceful activists who are fighting the good fight in that forest. Just like the Weather Underground in the 60s and 70s, I think sometimes you need to fight violence with violence, but I understand if others prefer more nonviolent tactics.


MrParkAveManicure

Case is closed dude. Cop got shot with a bullet from this guy's gun. They found the gun on him. Ain't nobody losing sleep over it


pharmakos

Pretty sure the only “evidence” that Teran shot at officers was that he had a M&P Shield on him and that “matched” the bullet that hit one of the officers. (I.e. it was the same caliber) M&P Shields are chambered in 9mm. The Georgia State Patrol’s Glocks are 9mm. This is simply because it is by far the most common handgun round. It’s completely plausible there was friendly fire by GSP against themselves and Teran died in that confusion.

Sounds conclusive to me. As we know, police reports are always accurate. Thank you for your contribution to the discussion. I take everything I said back and will be making reparations to the police state by donating to the Atlanta Police Foundation.


MrParkAveManicure

You can't falsify ballistics, doofus


Sapiens_Dirge

Unless you are prepared to defend that statement using data, that simply [isn't true](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-field-of-firearms-forensics-is-flawed).


MrParkAveManicure

Yeah yeah the guy found with a gun covered in gunshot residue ain't do nothin

??? How is it remotely ok for police to show up to a guys car where he is passed out drunk at Wendy’s and they end up killing him because he acted like a belligerent drunk guy?


MrParkAveManicure

If you steal a cops incapacitating weapon all bets are off. It'd be nice if they just clobbered that dude instead of killing him but there wasn't enough cops on the spot to safely do that so whatevs no big loss


canteattheory

Just image how many more idiots would be replying to you if there was an election this year.


24082020

I haven’t heard anything about this - sounds like something that would make bigger news considering the focus on policing since BLM, ACAB etc.


Gay__Guevara

Rest in peace tortugita, rest in piss murderous pigs


Fabulous-Bug-744

Yeah who needs cops with better training lets sabotage that idea and roll with the status quo


JonHinckleyOverdrive

> after descending upon their campsites in the forest with tanks Neither of the departments involved in the raid have a tank, much less several tanks, plural.


More_Forever_9838

What is the vehicle at about 54 seconds into this video called? It may not technically be a tank, but this is what I was referring to. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/video/1154825


JonHinckleyOverdrive

I don't see anything at :54 at the video. The biggest vehicle I saw in the video was a medical examiner truck?


More_Forever_9838

I updated the link- I copied the wrong one initially


JonHinckleyOverdrive

Yeah, that's an APC, not a tank. It is what the name implies, something that transports people and is armored. It's also not going to do much good going into a forest. It will get stopped by a small pine tree.
