Plainview Residents: Accused Boston Bomber is No Rock Star

Plainview Patch readers are blasting the depiction of of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bombing suspect,  on the cover of the current issue of Rolling Stone.

Critics have said the magazine's photo of Tsarnev makes him look no different from the rock stars who usually grace the front of the magazine.

Patch readers backed the decision of such stores as Stop & Shop, CVS and Walgreen's, not to sell the magazine.

"Why for the love of God would they want to give this person any more attention then he deserves?" Dianne Rizzo wrote on Plainview Patch's Facebook page, suggesting that the magazine use the photo of a first responder instead.

"Please just put him away somewhere and forget about him.
This picture is in such poor taste and so disrespectful to everyone that were killed and injured!"

Mike O'Connor called Rolling Stone's decision to use the photo "irresponsible."

"Papers and magazines, and the news will say or publish anything that will cause controversy and draw attention/consumers to them," he wrote. " We have to power as consumers and a responsible society to hit them where it hurts, in the pocket. Everyone should stand together and boycott companies that attempt this. How dare anyone attempt to profit off of someone who has violently killed and named innocent people including children in our streets."
