“What that video says is totally wrong, and it can cause us more problems than help us,” said Dr Beatrice Mpora, director of Kairos, a community health organisation in Gulu, a town that was once the centre of the rebels’ activities."

A story told by Jason Russell: Let me start by saying that that photo was a bad idea. We were young and we got caught up in the moment. It was never meant to reflect on the organization. The photo of Bobby, Laren and I with the guns was taken in an LRA camp in DRC during the 2008 Juba Peace Talks. We were there to see Joseph Kony come to the table to sign the Final Peace Agreement. The Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) was surrounding our camp for protection since Sudan was mediating the peace talks. We wanted to talk to them and film them and get their perspective. And because Bobby, Laren and I are friends and had been doing this for 5 years, we thought it would be funny to bring back to our friends and family a joke photo. You know, "Haha - they have bazookas in their hands but they're actually fighting for peace." The ironic thing about this photo is that I HATE guns. I always have. Back in 2008 I wanted this war to end, like we all did, peacefully, through peace talks. But Kony was not interested in that; he kept killing. And we still don't want war. We don't want him killed and we don't want bombs dropped. We want him alive and captured and brought to justice

 

Oh ok. But now I'm also kind like...

Why the fuck would you pose like that after spending so much time and effort to spearhead a humanitarian effort? I would have no qualms for the flap if they were say, naive G.I.'s or even some soldiers of fortune or hired anti-poacher vigilantes. You know, actual people doing actual fighting. It's those stupid faces they made that piss me off :dry:

I'm sure that didnt meant to be offensive. Do you have actual valid opinions about this?

again, i don't really hate skrillex as much as i hate the people that think that sort of music has any sort of integrity. i try to be open minded, and a lot of the time i employ a "well, each to his/her own" attitude towards personal preferences such as music taste and who knows, maybe it is original in its own way, sorta like a drawing by an autistic kid.

i know very little about the inner workings of Invisible Children, but the people who knew him personally have nothing but bad things to say about the way he operated it.

The co-founder of Invisible Children, the non-profit organization responsible for Kony 2012 video, was arrested in San Diego on Thursday night, police said on Friday. Police said they arrested Jason Russell, 33, after he was allegedly found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something. Russell is one of the masterminds behind the Kony 2012 video, which went viral last week and has already been viewed 70 million times. He is described on Invisible Children’s website as “our grand storyteller and dreamer.” He is also described as a Christian and father of two children who wants to have nine more children.

Amazing, did he got depressed because of all the criticism?

 

He will save his kid from Kony, but who will save his kid from him?
