Did Rolling Stone Go Too Far?

This is the Rolling Stone magazine cover that features Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. 

“The Bomber -- How a Popular, Promising Student Was Failed by His Family, Fell into Radical Islam and Became a Monster" is the caption beneath the photoThe headline on the article itself reads, “He was a charming kid with a bright future…”.

A number of businesses including CVS are refusing to sell it, claiming that the cover photo of Tsarnaev glamorizes the bomber. And readers are being urged to boycott it.

What do you think? Would you purchase a copy of this magazine?
