So, they took roughly 50 years to do what could have been done in about 48 hours? Great use of resources. "Pitched warfare?" Please. Ask the Branch Dividians about deciding to toe up against the force of the government. Also, how many people have you seen decide to attempt to deny an agency, FBI, ATF, DEA, etc the ability to serve a lawful warrant/subpeona by force since the ATF incinerated Koresh and Company?
I remember some article about how awesome and transcendent ****ing Hoobastank is in Rolling Stone. Probably been about ten years since I read that and put the magazine down forever. It's pretty much garbage. I hope the backlash from this puts them out of business.
This is pure stupidity. Even I, as a lowly school teacher, know that when the motive of a behavior is to seek attention that the best course of action is to starve the beast of what they desire. These types are cowardly savages. They deserve nothing.
So, according to the magazine, it was his family's fault? Bless his heart. I've always hated this magazine (they're to the left of Lenin), but this is over the top... which is what they're aiming for, I guess.
Reminds me of Time putting Adolph Hitler as their Man of the Year in the 1930s and having to defend it.
Time argued that Man of the Year was a designation for the person of most influence, not one who possessed the best qualities. It was also before it was known that Hitler was as crazed as he was.
Sorry, my reply was awful. I fully see how Hitler would be Man of the Year. Is this fool in Boston really the most influential?
difference is this is a music magazine. if sports illustrated put him on the cover it would be no less defensable.
RS has been doing this bit for 45 years. Also, good thing the lead singer of Disturbed will never have to worry about being on the cover of RS.
No perspective was meant, really, just an observation. If pressed, I will say it's irresponsible and I'm not entirely shocked that a magazine which relies on circulation numbers to survive will go for something shocking on the cover.
