Invisible Children Co-Founder Detained: SDPD
SDPD said he was found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something

A co-founder for Invisible Children was detained in Pacific Beach Thursday for being drunk in public and masturbating, according to San Diego Police Department.
Jason Russell, 33, was allegedly found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something, according to Lt. Andra Brown. He was detained at the intersection of Ingraham Street and Riviera Road.
Brown said Russell was acting very strange.
Police said they received several calls yesterday at 11:30 a.m. of a man in various stages of undress, running through traffic and screaming. Police described him as "in his underwear."
Several people attempted to calm him down and when officers arrived they said he was cooperative.

"He was no problem for the police department however, during the evaluation we learned that we probably needed to take care of him," said Brown at a press conference. "So officers detained him and transferred him to a local medical facility for further evaluation and treatment."
Invisible Children's CEO Ben Keesey released a statement after 1:40 p.m. saying:
?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. Jason?s passion and his work have done so much to help so many, and we are devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue. We will always love and support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family privacy during this difficult time.?

Russell is one of the the founders responsible for the "Kony 2012" video that went viral last week. He is described on the organization's website as a co-founder and "our grand storyteller and dreamer." Russell is also described as a Christian and father to two children who wants to have nine more children with his wife he calls his "best friend for over 23 years."
The video "Kony 2012" calls for the capture of the Ugandan LRA leader whose fighting tactic involves kidnapping and torturing the country's innocent children.
Russell spoke with NBCSanDiego explaining how the movement was exploding at the organization's headquarters in San Diego.

"There are hundreds and thousands of propaganda - posters, stickers, buttons, t-shirts, that we are putting in boxes and are shipping all over the world," Russell said in a March 8 interview.

I guess reading every Africa-based journalist calling you a fool must be pretty harsh but that's a pretty spectacular breakdown.

^In all fairness he has been on my sketchy radar since late 2006 when I was told by Amnesty International about their sketchy film-making strategies and shoddy financial records. I was barred from showing their films at AI events I was running.

But this is a whole new level of sketchy.

I was sceptical of the whole charity from when i first heard it. And all my friends called me insensitive for not "supporting" the charity. I just don't see how sharing a post to people who are in no position to actually help will fix the problem...

think of all the potential children he killed by wasting his seed on san diego concrete rather than the wombs of Ugandan women

The financial stuff is everywhere, look it up - basically paying themselves way too much and squandering money. A good non-profit spends 90% on programs, 3% on fundraising and 7% on salaries.

The shoddy filming strategies is that there were allegations of them doctoring scenes in the first movie. I don't really remember many details other than the fact that there is a scene where the children cry and allegedly that crying was not genuine to the situation they were referencing it being caused by. There were other examples, I just don't remember.
