As I was reading the article, I couldn't believe it, but I was feeling sorry for Jahar. According to his teachers and his fellow classmates, Jahar had so much going for him. He seemed to have a decent personality, was ambitious, and seemed like a normal kid. It's unfortunate that he changed into someone who made awful and heartless decisions. "I felt like a bullet went through my heart," the coach recalls. "To think that a kid we mentored and loved like a son could have been responsible for all this death. It was beyond shocking. It was like an alternative reality."
The writer of the article seems to have stirred up quite a bit of controversy. Not only were people disturbed to see "The Boston Bomber" on the cover of Rolling Stone, but some think that the article will create a biased opinion in Jahar's trial. However, the writer had every write to say the things she did, whether or not people agree with her. “The First Amendment guarantees rights of free speech, free press, and religion.” (Introduction to Business Law - Jeffrey F. Beatty, Susan S. Samuelson, and Dean A. Bredeson: pg 6)
I personally didn’t find the article too offending or biased. I feel that the author gave a point of view from both sides. Like I said, I almost felt bad for the kid at first. There is always going to be controversy, especially over touchy subjects such as The Boston Bombing.
