Basically what's promoted sells.

Question is if it promoted an introspective look at AQ and terrorist attempts to recruit or inspire non-Arab looking youth for mass murder, creating further awareness to protect against such, then great.

If it promoted glorification of murderous slaughter and amoral admiration of a sick killer on the basis of crass promotion, amount to free advertising ordinarily costing in the millions on behalf of AQ & those same terrorists, then that's a really bad minus sum result overall.

So did the Republic manage to survive this horrendous magazine cover?

I heard he was found not guilty.

Where's the outrage for clothing companies profiting off the slogan "Boston Strong"?

Being smothered in its sleep in front of its children by free market capitalism.

In a related story, the state police sergeant who released the unauthorized photo of a bloodied Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been transferred from the Framingham barracks to the barracks in Athol. Yes, there IS a town named Athol. Think someone is trying to send him a message?

He got off light if he still has a job. Nice temper tantrum he threw.

Talked to a firefighter that works at the Devens fire dept. He said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a whinny little ##### at the prison.Typical Teen

Sales up 20% since terror guy was on the cover.

Sales have exploded!

They nailed the cover!

Wow that's in poor, poor taste.

Dude. Take some pressure off. Blow off a little steam.

They cleared the agents that shot Todashev when they were questioning him. This seemed pretty fishy to me considering he didn't have a gun and was being questioned by several guys that did. Was lethal force really necessary here? I think they executed the guy.
