Jason Russell, director of the Invisible Children charity's now-famous video "Kony 2012," has become headline fodder after he stripped naked and ran through the busy streets of San Diego screaming "You're the devil" and other graphic obscenities. He was taken into custody on Thursday. Despite previous reports, he was not arrested and will not be charged.IS THIS WHO YOU PEOPLE GAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME AND DONATIONS TOO.
Now all over twitter over the past few weeks people have been blindly campaining this ordeal. Celebrities from Rihanna to Diddy and even Justin Bieber have been constantly retweeteing people and urging them to join the cause in making "Joseph Kony" famous. I however just as what seemed to be like few others thought that before I jumped on the bandwagon that I would do research on the matter, and then make up my mind from there. Once you do the research you find that Ugana is actually "NOT" in turmoil. Joseph Kony did do everything that he was accused of doing, but he along with his organization have not been in power since 2006 . Not only that theres been numerous reports from the C.I.A. along with the Ugandan government that Joseph Kony isn't even in Uganda. In fact there has a been a huge uproar from the people of Uganda about the "Stop Kony" campaign .They feel that all of this bad publicity that Uganda is getting is just making them look bad as a nation.. I feel twitter nailed it on the head in referring to us all as "FOLLOWERS" .I feel that people just jump on whatevers "COOL" at the moment instead of shedding light on things that are actually effecting us as a country. For instance rising tuition costs, high unemployment rate , inflation, and the housing market debacle .
