Inside The Emerald State of Mind : Boston Bomber Rolling Stone Cover

Three months ago, as we all know, The Boston Marathon came to an abrupt end when two bombs exploded at the finish line, leaving 264 people injured and 3 dead, including a 8 year old boy who had come to cheer on his father, what's was even more horrific was that people who lost loved ones in the Sandy Hook shootings in december were guest of honor.

Now 3 months later one of the bombers is dead while the other is on the cover of Rolling Stone. Unbelievable.

Rolling Stone is one of the most respected, most read magazines on the market, it is a privilege to grace the cover, some of the greats have graced the cover including Jay Z, Paul McCartney, Adele and Bruce Springsteen.

Now they are putting, the bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover, putting him along the caliber of legends, as if to say, You Have Made It. It's revolting! This mah hurt so many people and upset a nation while also shocking the world. I remember being at my friends house after a day at the races and we were all sat down to have a bit of food and hang out after a long day and we were all glued to the tv watching coverage. Its shocked all of us and we were all horrified at what happened, it was also a topic of conversation for the next few days and weeks in my circles. This man's actions got the whole world talking about how awful he was, and how is he treated by one of the biggest magazines in the world, he's put on the dame cover.

What get's me, as well as a lot of people, is that in the photo on the cover, he looks like a Rockstar, it echos the covers of the likes of Jim Morrison. He doesn't look like a killer and a scumbag. He looks like they are writing about his new album. While I have heard that it is an interesting piece on how this man became a monster, I'm sure it is no comfort to the victims of this man, or their families. If a victim were to walk past the cover after losing a leg or getting a burn, what are they going to think, "I got this injury and he gets this glorification". It's terrible and totally insensitive to the victims and their families.

Rolling Stone has refused to apologize for the cover and standing by their decision, which is in many peoples opinion, including myself, a very bad one.

This man deserves to be treated like the scum he is. It is refreshing to hear that many stores such as Walgreens and 711 are boycotting selling the magazine. I just hope it doesn't glorify his crimes to people and readers understand that this man is horrible and deserves jail time for the rest of his life.
