Readers React to Rolling Stone Cover of Accused Boston Bomber

By now, you’ve seen the cover. The July edition of Rolling Stone sports a self portrait of the accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

By now, you’ve seen the local reaction. Drug stores, like Wayzata's Walgreens, say they will not carry the magazine, in a protest of sorts.

But we want to know: Will you, personally, protest the racey editorial decision? A Nashua Patch blogger said that he intends to boycott the “advertisers of Rolling Stone magazine.”

On Thursday, we asked Lake Minnetonka residents what they thought about the magazine cover. Lake Minnetonka Patch Facebook friends said the following:

• Aaron Mielke: Guilty till proven innocent. Right?
• Joe Anderson: @ Aaron Whether proven guilty or presumed innocent, you don't glorify an alleged bomber/murderer by putting his picture on the cover of their magazine. What is wrong with people.
• Dan Hikes: Guilty till proven innocent? Doesn't seem to be working out to well for George Zimmerman. On the other hand we have this piece of shit on a magazine cover who was caught in the act by dozens of police.

Do you have an opinion about the cover? Will you stop buying the magazine? Will you stop going to the stores that sell it?
