| Joseph Kony 2012: filmmaker Jason Russell arrested on suspicion of masturbating in public |
| 2012-03-17 |
| I only watched the video once I realized it was p*ssing the left off, big time. One of the creators of the "Kony 2012" film about Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony has been arrested for allegedly being drunk and masturbating in public. Jason Russell, 33, was also accused of stripping off his clothes and vandalising cars before he was detained in San Diego. Russell, an evangelical Christian, is a co-founder of the American advocacy group Invisible Children. Their 29-minute film has been watched by more than 100 million people and become the fastest spreading video ever. The San Diego Police Department said Russell was held close to the Pacific Ocean, wearing only in his underwear, on Thursday night. A spokesman said he was possibly under the influence of something, and was acting "very strangely." Oh really? Officers received several calls from members of the public about a man undressing and running through traffic while screaming. When they arrived Russell was co-operative. He was later hospitalised so that his mental state can be assessed to establish if he represents a threat to himself or others. |

| #4 he was at Mission Bay/Crown Point, about a 1/2 mile from my bridge project. It's been...nippy.. lately, so he wasn't stripped because of the weather |

| #1 A spokesman said he was possibly under the influence of something, and was acting "very strangely." Nothing out of the ordinary or "strange" in California, other than his acapella rendition of "Nearer my God to Thee." They immediatley hauled him in upon hearing him launch into the second verse. |
