We assume everyone is armed...except lawyers ;POriginally Posted by LA Ute
Shucks, if the police had only known that they wouldn't have shot up that boat he was hiding in before they got him out of it. For some reason they didn't assume he was unarmed.
No matter - the blowhard is mightier than the sword.

Come hang out in the gallery in court sometime....your fellow blowhards get plenty of revenge, trust me.
Maybe it wasn't just teenage alienation:
http://hotair.com/archives/2013/05/1...ly-understand/After the death of Tamerlan in a police shootout, Dzhokhar hid inside a neighbor’s boat and wrote with a pen on the inside of the hull that the attack was retribution for the wars the United States waged in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to two law enforcement officials. The note stated generally that an attack on one Muslim is an attack on all Muslims, one official said.

So how does everyone feel about this Rolling Stone cover?

I think it is a big mistake.

Glorifying a terrorist is always a mistake. But the real problem is that Rolling Stone put that waste of carbon on it's cover because there is a market for it. This evil POS has fans who want him freed.
Of course, there is some good news about this. There are some businesses that have decided that that issue won't grace their newsstands.

Oh, I don't know. I guess I wouldn't second guess their decision.
Jeffery Dahmer was on the cover of Newsweek, Manson was on the cover of Life, and Hitler was on the cover of Time.

I'm with Mayor Menino on this one.

I agree, Mayor Menino's letter & thoughts are excellent. I actually subscribe to RS but haven't received the copy yet. Consequently I have not read the article. Second hand, I understand the focus of the story is how normal & common the bomber was. No one suspected him. That's an interesting angle.
I was at the U and worked at a janitor in lower campus at the same time Ted Bundy worked as a janitor at the hospital. I never met him - to my knowledge - but met one of the supervisors to whom Bundy reported. When he was finally arrested, I vaguely remember some folks who knew him were convinced he was innocent and could not have possibly been the killer. I don't know if the bomber is a sociopath like Bundy, but a seemingly normal killer walking among us is an interesting topic.
RS seems tone deaf to the sensitivities they offended and should have known better. It is too soon to put the bomber on the cover as if he were a rock star.

Anyone interested in learning more about Ted Bundy should read Ann Rule's The Stranger Beside Me. Ann and Ted once worked at a crisis hotline in the Seattle area.

Much of the backlash has been about the way the picture looks, as in they made it a 'rock star' cover photo, as if Jim Morrison was being featured
