United Supermarkets here in the 806 have decided that all it's customers that love to read their Rolling Stone magazine will not be able to buy the legendary rock mag in the month of August due to the cover and content.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the second suspect of the Boston Marathon bombings is on the cover of their upcoming issue along with an article that shows this popular, promising students fall into Radical Islamic values and the making of a monster.

This was an easy business decision for us,” said Robert Taylor, CEO of United Supermarkets, LLC.

To do anything that would glorify terrorist behavior simply goes against what our company stands for.”

Obviously Mr. Taylor did not read the article. he like a lot of other vendors simply saw a picture and rushed to judgement. If he had spent a little more time on the decision he would have found this, a statement from the editors of RS:

,“Our hearts go out to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, and our thoughts are always with them and their families. The cover story we are publishing this week falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone’s long-standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage of the most important political and cultural issues of our day. The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens. –THE EDITORS”
