Man behind 'Kony 2012' arrested - for masturbating in public

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Christian filmmaker behind the Internet’s most recent famous activism campaign, “Kony 2012,” has been arrested. For masturbating. And being drunk. And vandalizing cars. In public. In the morning.
Jason Russell, 33, was arrested Thursday morning by the San Diego Police Department in Southern California and the earliest reports detailing the incident suggest it was one hell of a day already for the Invisible Children co-founder and proclaimed “mastermind” behind the Kony 2012 viral video. Police say he was described as "in his underwear" when the first 911 calls were made.
San Diego Police Department Lieutenant Andrea Brown tells a local NBC affiliate that Russell was found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of an unknown substance at around 11:30 am on Thursday. Authorities detained him at the intersection of Ingraham Street and Riviera Drive in San Diego, only a stone’s throw from the Pacific Ocean.
When the Kony 2012 campaign was released earlier this month, Russell’s activism group, Invisible Children, described him on their website as being the “grand storyteller and dreamer” behind their operation. By Friday afternoon, however, the bio page of the Invisible Children website was unavailable.
Within minutes of the news of his arrest being released on Friday, the group issued a statement. Invisible Children CEO Ben Keesey published an one-paragraph press release, but did not touch on the topic of arrest. Instead, Keesey says, “Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration and malnutrition."
"He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better. The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday,"added Russell.
Speaking on behalf of the San Diego PD, Lt. Brown also made an announcment. NBC reports she described Russell as acting “very strange,” but when your charges include public masturbation and auto vandalism a few feet from the shores of the Pacific while stumbling incoherently on a Thursday night, that’s pretty much a given.
"He was no problem for the police department, however, during the evaluation we learned that we probably needed to take care of him," Brown explained to the media. "So officers detained him and transferred him to a local medical facility for further evaluation and treatment."
Answering allegations earlier this month that Invisible Children were profiting off of donations assumed to go towards ousting African warlord Joseph Kony, Russell defended the practices of his charity group by saying that their funds are funneled through an array of different endeavors.Comment -

oh, I missed the last part of the article....
In the background a guy by the name of King Mayan was seen in the background yanking it while the liberal himself was yanking it. Oddly enough, this King Mayan character was yanking it while standing on one leg on top of his lawnmower.... with his other leg pointed towards the sky.
King Mayan was not arrested and the cops decided to arrest only one masturbating freak on that day.
Details at 11.

So the cops arrested the white guy and left alone the muscled mexican bruiser?
Maybe the Kony guy followed your picks instead of fading them like everyone else at SBR. No wonder he went off the deep end.Comment -
Well, Mayan was using his other arm/hand to curl a 50 lb dumbbell... apparently he is multi-talented.
Cops prolly didn't want a 50 lb dumbbell thrown at them.Comment -

sounds about right. Guy looks a little too flamboyant in this video!!! "look at me, i'm coming out!"
guy knows he's gonna be outed for embezzling millions from church ladies and bleeding heart hipsters, so he went off the deep end and did a lil too many drugs.
woulda been great if the old man on the corner decked him

Got caught by a cop in a park in my car with a girl. We had JUST finished and put back on our pants.
Cop asked for the girl's ID and saw 17 and gave me a look like.... and then checked mine and found out I was 17 and said your lucky day and let us go. I always wonder how old he thought I was. I was about to turn 18 so I don't think that would have mattered, would it?Comment -
