| Film maker James Russel |
The campaign made headlines on Friday after Jason Russell, the narrator of the Kony 2012 viral video, was detained after allegedly masturbating in public.
Invisible Children, the organization that produced the video and is spearheading the cause, began reaching global awareness of the child slave master Kony but not without some of Konys supporters claiming that the film misrepresents the situation.
I just posted his short film on Breaking Headlines two days ago and now film maker James Russel in the slammer . For all those that are not famaliar with who exactly James Russel is , he happens to be the spear head of the highly publicized movement called KONY 2012 . Let me explain , there is a very evil man who abducts children into his army of drugs and prostituion . Kony takes them from there parents -- makes them comeback and kill their parents and then forces them into child slavery with the promise of no escape . If one of these children try to escape then it will be a violent death that they suffer . Many of the children had lost their siblings to such, so they are afraid for their own lives and stay regardless of the torture they endure. It is insane how many children kony has abducted from their families . The numbers range in the hundreds of thousands . This is were James Russel film maker and father to a young impressionable 4 year old comes into the picture. Russel 's states that he befriended a young boy on facebook and that he heard his story and could not live another day knowing of the horrors he was witnessing on a daily basis. He promised the young boy he would help . Russel had an ephiphany and created a campaign to plaster this man's face over every billboard and streetlight and basically make Kony infamous - therefore he couldnt hide anywhere without being reconized. It almost sounded ingenious .Until the non for profit that Russel ran came up under fire for its questionable spending habits . Since this incident Russel's PR team has being doin major overtime to explain his odd behaviour which can be seen by viewing the video . . .
Word is that he was suffering from dehydration and was rumored to be exhausted from the strenuous Kony Campaign. Does this mean the Kony 2012 manhunt has been destroyed .. -- details coming soon .......... Here is a full statement from Ben Keesey- CEO of Invisible Children: UPDATE : 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.
