Rolling Stone Cover Controversy: Magazine Issues Statement, Defends "Thoughtful" Coverage

With controversy swirling over the latest Rolling Stone cover – it features Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and teases how he “became a monster” – the magazine has come out with an online statement. As an editor’s note to the Web version of the story, Rolling Stone writes: “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. ” It continues: “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.” Along with stinging criticism from those who feel the cover story is inappropriate, CVS has announced a boycott of the issue. The chain says it will not sell the August edition of Rolling Stone “out of respect for the victims of the attack and their loved ones.” Where do you stand? What do you think of the magazine putting Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its cover?   Why not? He’s topical and interesting … What a disgrace. View Poll »

Epitome Of A Bad Mother: Woman Tries To Cut Her 9-Year-Old Daughter’s Thumb Off With Clippers Before Trying To Commit Suicide, “I Just Wanted Us To Be Together”

This mother needs her uterus removed so she can never have kids again. Horrible. Mother Attacks Daughter With Clippers According to Mail Online A Massachusetts woman is facing an attempted murder charge after police say she has attacked her 9-year-old daughter with a pair of electric hedge clippers, nearly severing the child’s thumb. Both the mother and the girl were hospitalized with serious but non-life threatening injuries following the incident that took place in the family’s Westwood home early Monday morning. Chief Jeff Silva said the 9-year-old’s father stepped in to stop the attack reported at about 5am by the young victim, who told police that her mother was trying to kill herself. The couple’s younger child who was in the house was unharmed. Maureen Mullin, 39, was ordered held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing at an arraignment on charges including of attempted murder, assault and battery on a child and mayhem at her bedside at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston on Monday. Police received a call at around 4.51am Monday from a young girl reporting a domestic disturbance at her home at 126 Pond Street in Westwood. When officers arrived at the house, they discovered that Maureen Mullin had attacked her 9-year-old daughter with a gardening tool. Both the mother and daughter sustained serious injuries and were taken to area hospitals for treatment. An arrest report cited by the Boston Globe painted a horrific scene inside the Mullins’ residence, with blood staining the walls, floor and bedding of the 9-year-old’s bedroom and other rooms upstairs. Police have credited the actions of Mullin’s husband with saving his daughter from the brutal attack launched by his wife. Anthony Mullin, 39, told investigators that he was awakened just before 5am by the screams of his two daughters, ages 9 and 5, coming from a bedroom. Moments later, he heard one of his children say, ‘Why are you doing this, mommy?’ Responding officers found both the girl and her mother covered in blood. The woman, still in her husband’s embrace, was heard repeatedly saying, ‘I just wanted us all to be together.’ According to Mr Mullin, before police arrived, his wife grabbed a kitchen knife and threatened to stab him and take her own life. Police have yet to determine the motive behind the attack, but Mr Mullin said that his wife has been taking medication for depression and had an appointment for an unspecified mental health issue. The family’s neighbors in Westwood were stunned by the sudden outbreak of violence in the quiet community, describing the couple and their girls as seemingly happy and friendly. How selfish of her to want to end her life and take her daughter’s precious life. She wanted the poor child to bleed out…sad. CBS Boston Continue reading

Aaron Hernandez Shooting Victim to Appear Before Grand Jury

Alexander Bradley, the man who claims that Aaron Hernandez shot him in the face earlier this year, has been ordered to appear before a grand jury. This is separate from the murder of Olin Lloyd, for which Hernandez is charged, and a 2012 Boston double homicide in which he is a person of interest. Bradley has been ordered by a judge in Massachusetts to testify before a grand jury later this month; it’s unclear if police are trying establish any link. He is scheduled to appear July 17. Bradley had been actively fighting the interstate subpoena, claiming that he required medical treatment in Florida. The judge ruled that the travel “will not cause undue hardship” for Bradley, who “is a material and necessary witness” in the investigation of Hernandez. Bradley sued Hernandez in June, before Lloyd’s murder, claiming Aaron Hernandez shot him in the face following an altercation at a Miami strip club. He never identified the New England Patriots tight end as the assailant when speaking to police, and only directly accused him in his recent lawsuit. The former NFL star is facing a first-degree murder charge in the slaying of his friend/acquaintance and is being investigated in a drive-by last summer. Officials suspect his motive may have been to keep Odin Lloyd quiet about his involvement in the earlier murder(s), though that remains just a theory.

Pedo Files: Choreographer Wade Robson Says Michael Jackson Had Sex With Him At 7-Years-Old While His Sister Slept In The Same Room

Wade claims MJ was was moonwalking on his underage peen… Wade Robson Says Michael Jackson Had Sex With Him At Seven Years Old Michael Jackson allegedly made his move on Wade Robson when he was just seven years of ag e — as his sister slept in another bed just feet away at Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. Via RadarOnline reports: Robson, now 30, has told how the King of Pop made his first sexual advances on the young child prodigy in the star’s bedroom in 1990, as the Australia-born dancer’s older sister Chantal slept in the same room and often with his mother under the same roof. The abuse allegedly continued unabated for another two weeks and from then on, for a period of seven years. “We can never tell anyone what WE are doing,” Jackson told Robson, according to new court documents filed in the father-of-one’s creditor’s claim against the Estate of the late singer and obtained by RadarOnline.com. Now, Robson has alleged that Jackson “coached” him “every day” to provide certain statements against claims of molestation, beginning with the Jordy Chandler case in September 1993. “He would tell me that our phones were tapped and ‘they’ were listening to everything we said,” Robson said of private conversations with Jackson. “He would role play with me and say to me, ‘They are saying we did all of this disgusting sexual stuff. We never did any of that, right?’ I would play along and answer, ‘No way!’ He would say, ‘If they believed that we did any of this sexual stuff, YOU AND I would go to jail for the rest of our lives. Our lives and careers would be over. We’ve got to fight this. We’ve got to beat them together.” Jackson selected, hired and paid for the lawyer who represented Robson in relation to his testimony to the grand jury in the Chandler case, it was also revealed. Then, when Jackson was criminally charged in 2005, he again, allegedly, began to coach Robson. Do you think he is a legitimate victim or is he just looking for a pay day? Continue reading

People Ain’t Isht: Janky Ginger Actress Who Attempted To Poison POTUS Barry-O With Ricin Indicted And Facing 15 Years In The Bing

Consequences and repercussions… Actress Who Sent Ricin Letter To President Obama Facing 15 Year In Prison With Indictment Via ABCNews An actress who appeared on “The Walking Dead” has been indicted for allegedly sending poison-laced letters to President Obama, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and a gun control lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Shannon Guess Richardson, a 35-year-old from Boston, Texas, was charged with three counts including making “threats against the President of the United States.” The letters, one of which was first seen on ABC News, contained anti-gun control messages and threatening language. According to the indictment, the note to President Obama read in part: “You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. Anyone wants to come to my house will get shot in the face… I will take care of this myself and make sure you wont be runnin this country in the ground any further. What’s in this letter is nothing compared to what ive got in store for you mr president [sic].” The letters were laced with the poison ricin, but the U.S. Postal Service said it was in such low quantities that it did not pose a health threat. Other than the gun control lobbyist, none of the intended recipients came in contact with the letters. Not only did this dirty beyotch attempt to kill Barry-O, but she tried to throw her husband under the bus in the process! Richardson originally called the FBI after the letters were discovered and claimed her husband, Nathaniel Richardson, was the one that sent the letters, according to court documents. Later, authorities said it looked like Shannon had framed her husband. In an interview with ABC News’ “Good Morning America,” Nathaniel Richardson said it was “heartbreaking” to learn what his wife allegedly did. “The way I look at it, being angry is a waste of energy,” Nathaniel Richardson told ABC News. “She has done this to herself. She has destroyed my reputation and my life but there’s a way up from this and if I sit here and focus on anger, I can’t focus on getting on with my life.” If convicted, Shannon Richardson faces up to 15 years in federal prison, five for each charge, according to prosecutors. We hope she’s sentenced to every hour of that 15 years. Continue reading

Doc Rivers Traded to Clippers in Exchange for Draft Pick

The doctor is out in Boston. Following days’ worth of rumors and speculations, the Celtics and Clippers completed an unusual trade last night, though it is pending official league approval: Head Coach Doc Rivers has been dealt to Los Angeles in exchange for that club’s 2015 draft pick. The Clippers are expected to sign Rivers to a three-year/$21 million contract, hoping his hiring assures a return of free agent Chris Paul and enables the franchise to take a step farther in the playoffs next season. The Celtics, meanwhile, are in rebuilding mode and saw no need to pay $7 million per year to a coach who had no chance of leading them to a title. Boston has scheduled a news conference scheduled for noon today, where, insiders confirm, Rivers is expected to explain his decision to leave the city after nine mostly successful seasons.

Aaron Carter: Beat Up By New Kids on the Block Fans!

Aaron Carter claims he received a beatdown from four hardcore New Kids on the Block fans while out to dinner in Boston this weekend … seriously. It wasn’t a coincidence, either. This was full-on boy band turf war style justice. Carter was leaving dinner in the city, he says, when a man yelled out, “I heard you’re doing a show here tomorrow. This is the town of the New Kids.” Aaron claims that three other guys then jumped out of a gold Chevy Malibu and started roughing him up, including a pretty serious blow to the face. The singer claims he landed a few punches too before the crew split. “I think my knuckles might be broken, but that’s what they get,” he said. “People think I’m a pretty little white boy but no way. I think I won. I’m still standing.” Aaron says he did not file a police report because that’s just “girlie.” The question … Which of these three things is most surprising: New Kids on the Block fans being territorial and violent? Aaron Carter calling something or someone “girlie”? Aaron Carter still performing, in general?
