'Kony' Viral Filmmaker Jason Russell Detained for Alleged Public Masturbation, Vandalizing Cars*

Quite the day for global awareness. First Mike Daisey, the man who brought global attention to the conditions inside Apple’s Chinese factories, was outed as a fabricator. Now the man behind the Kony viral video has been arrested was detained by police for–among other things–public masturbation and vandalizing a car. According to NBC San Diego, Invisible Children founder Jason Russell was arrested detained last night by San Diego police in Pacific Beach after residents complained about a man running through the streets in his underwear, causing trouble.

Having lived in San Diego and spent many a youthful night in Pacific Beach, we can honestly say Russell’s behavior wasn’t out of the ordinary for a Thursday night.
