Cue the "He got what he deserved!" posts (as if this won't be appealed to death for 15 years)

Lots of people pointing to McVeigh and how it only took 6 years to carry out death sentence; people forget he dropped all of his appeals.

lol @ only

Even if it "only" took 6 years that's 6 more years of hell for the Richard family.

I just like it when people call it "the Twitter" or "my Twitter" or "the facebook," which was correct at one time.

Scariest thing to come out of the Boston marathon Bombings was the fact that the FEDS used it as an excuse to militarize a major US city.

Just in the couple seconds...
Don Draper. Television Character that is considered "cool" for his cruelty.
Casey Anthony- Likely murdered her daughter, and got famous for it. (wait, is that a photoshop?)
Lil wayne- numerous arrests, and hospitalizations for (likely) drug related seizures
Whitney Houston- Before dying of her addiction spent the better part of a decade as a total basket case
Amy Winehouse- major addiction problems that led to a young death.. same with Cobain. and Morrison. and Hendrix.
Snoop Dogg- was involved in a murder.
Survived significant addiction Problems.. Billy Joe armstrong, Robert Downey, Russell brand, eminem.
Rick Ross- Wrote a song advocating rape basically.


Rolling Stone, despite their "cool factor" have ALWAYS glorified questionable life choices, some with tragic results. And to a large degree, their cover had become irrelevant, and with one single act, they have attached a meaning to it again. If not for this article how many people on this music based message board could name a cover that was released in the last year?

I not only totally am okay with the cover, I think it was pretty brilliant in terms of marketing and more importantly in terms of starting a discussion. Most covers get you to maybe open up a magazine and read an article.. this one has you TALKING about it. It's forced people to examine what Rolling Stone is saying, and it seems like a pretty important point. This kid could be anyone, and that picture on the front not only reminds us of that, it makes the entire point with just one shot.

I like that you equated mass murder with "questionable life choices" like doing drugs
