OT: Kony 2012 guy arrested for masturbating in public

[DomCasual]

This is the guy that narrates the video. I wonder if that Kony guy is close enough to an Internet connection to have heard about this.

A co-founder of Invisible Children, the group behind the viral hit “Kony 2012,” was detained by San Diego police Thursday night for allegedly masturbating and being drunk in public, NBC San Diego reported.

Police said they responded to calls of a man screaming and running through traffic “in his underwear,” according to NBC San Diego.

He also was allegedly vandalizing cars, San Diego police told the television station.

Russell is the narrator of a controversial video released last Monday by the organization, which documents the atrocities of Joseph Kony, a Ugandan warlord who kidnapped thousands of children to use as soldiers in his Lord’s Resistance Army, which terrorized the country in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

If you can't grasp the simple concept of why this guy getting caught masturbating effects the Peyton Manning situation, then I don't really know what to tell you.

Your right! This is clearly a sign of him masturbating in celebration of PM signing with the Chargers.

I heard Mannings masturbation is at 95%. Of course he had to prove it to Elway and Fox today.

Indeed, it is. :)

This (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/kony-2012-disappoints-ugandan-audience-public-screening-lira-article-1.1039291) is an interesting article. They showed the film in a Ugandan city that was among the hardest hit by Kony and the LRA.

They didn't like it all that much. Apparently, about ten minutes into the film, they started vocalizing their concern - basically asking what this white man and his little boy had to do with the fact that a lot of them were maimed and/or missing loved ones who had been kidnapped/killed by the Kony regime. They never got to see the end of the film, as some of them apparently became so angry, they started throwing rocks.

They also asked a question that probably should have seemed obvious to a lot of people, if they would have been given the information. Why was there so much attention being given to a guy who had fled the area like a coward almost seven years ago?

This is footage from when the video was shown:

It's classic that this was moved to WRP.

Not that I care THAT much. I just found the whole situation a little amusing.

What is the justification for moving threads in the offseason? Isn't the whole idea behind offseason mode that off-topic threads can go in the main forum? So, this gets moved; but there are threads on the main page that are about the following:

-A dad hitting his daughter's basketball coach for making her run laps;

-A South Park episode making fun of the absurdity of the TSA;

-Gardening;

-Some sort of fight where people hit each other with trash can lids, while Indian music plays in the background;

-The evils of Aspartame (Killer in your Fridge);

-Mass Effect 3;

-The Stop Online Piracy Act;

-The 2012 Presidential Election;

-A Battle of Words between the Killers and the Fray;

-Whether taking out wisdom teeth is a good idea;

-The show Walking Dead;

-Game of Thrones;

-The curious die-off of bees throughout the world;

-The conspiracy theories behind Denver International Airport;

-The benefits of of upgrading to Vista from XP;

-The mysterious spider outbreak in Austrailia;

and my favorite...

-The thread about this viral film that is currently all the rage, entitled Kony 2012 (http://www.orangemane.com/BB/showthread.php?t=103921).

You have to love consistency! :)

Good one! See, it takes a little thinking outside the box; but there is a connection!

Most likely this is some sort of black magic from Kony's witches. Poor guy obviously stricken by some sort of evil spell.
