Most people are mad at Rolling Stone magazine for putting the Boston Bomber on the cover, but I heard an interesting argument this morning for why we shouldn't be mad. The commentator said that putting him on the cover humanizes him and that is exactly what we need to do. Making him into a monster is wrong. We need to recognize that doe-eyed young men with good grades and lots of friends can do something like this so we can start working toward a solution to prevent future tragedies.
I only agree with that to a certain extent and I still feel like putting him on the cover was wrong, but I thought it was a good argument.
