Some Londonderry Stores Boycott Rolling Stone

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is the cover photo for the next issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, angering many.

Several businesses with stores in Londonderry are saying they won't sell the controversial Rolling Stone magazine cover featuring a photo of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Among the businesses boycotting the issue are CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens and Shaw's, all of which have locations on Route 102 in Londonderry. Tedeschi Foods, which has a location on Rockingham Road in Londonderry, is also banning the issue. Kmart and Roche Bros. don't have Londonderry locations but have also banned the issue.

Not everyone is refusing to sell the magazine, however. 7-Eleven, which has a store on Route 102 in Londonderry, said it will carry the issue, which hits shelves Friday.
