Rolling Stone Covers Boston Bomber [Controversy]



The famous US magazine Rolling Stone is in another controversy yet again and they stick by their ground in it still. Rolling Stone who are not unfamiliar with controversies decided to make Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the alleged bomber in the Boston attacks the cover man and they faced serious criticism from all the Boston and the US and also their edition got ban by famous shelve keepers in Boston to honor the people who lost their lives in the attack. Damn straight they were in their demands.

Now for the other side of the story, Rolling Stone have issued statement and said that they mean not to offend the families who suffered the lose but they want to educate their young readership of the dangers such act can take place,

"The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens."

They clearly say that they don't honor the bomber but they condemn and discourage further activities of the same nature. Sounds good to you? We guess the educational purpose could have been portrayed by not placing the rockstar image of him as cover and lime lighting the event with more care.
