Rolling Stone 'Glorified' Suspect, Residents Say
Many say Boston Marathon bombing suspect looked like a rock star on magazine cover.
Long Islanders expressed outrage at the use of a photo of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bombing suspect, on the cover of Rolling Stone. Many said the cover glorified a killer, and backed the decision of such stores as Stop & Shop, CVS and Walgreen's, not to sell the magazine.
"I think it's disgraceful! They are glorifying this monster!," said Eileen O'Hara Musgrove on the Huntington Patch Facebook page.
"They made him look like a rockstar not a murderer. Despicable,"
wrote Carlyn Grace.
