My teenage kids are all into this. What's the deal? -

It seems like the cause is good, however there's also been a lot of financial mismanagement with the group trying to drum up support for this cause. I'll see if I can find the link that reviews their financials.
Edit: Here's a link that reviews the Kony issues: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_1...d-controversy/
I don't think it's a scam as much as it's just a poorly run organization.Last edited by WashingtonCoug; 03-09-2012, 07:51 AM."To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail."

Tell me about it...Originally posted by Devildog View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

I wondered about this.. For me.. Spreading the word to ensure support (Advocacy efforts) for finding and arresting Kony is what I liked most. Not about sending funds to the organization but sending emails to congress etc is what I think I can and would support..Originally posted by WashingtonCoug View PostComment

I was interested enough to watch it and see what it's about.
At the 24 minute mark it looks like they are shaking hands with Bob Bennett. Either some of this video is a little old, or someone else in Congress looks like an ex-Senator from Utah.Comment

That's never good.
Jason Russell, the filmmaker behind the mega-viral "Kony 2012" documentary, was arrested in San Diego on Thursday night, NBC reported, citing the San Diego Police Department.
Russell, 33, "was taken into custody after he was found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars and possibly under the influence of something," NBC's San Diego affiliate reported, citing San Diego Police Department spokeswoman Lt. Andra Brown."What are you prepared to do?" - Jimmy Malone

TMZ has some video footage of the stark naked (NSFW) Russell slapping the pavement while in a very 'wide stance.' I'm no doctor, but it seems obvious that he is suffering some kind of mental breakdown.
The video is pretty blurry, and not really offensive, so click away if you are curious.Comment

If it proves to be a psychotic episode, it may not even be an 'error.' When I heard 'masturbates in public' I first thought 'drug use,' but after seeing the TMZ video, it looks more like mental illness. It is a shame that this will cloud the issue, and give ammunition to his critics. If it turns out to be a genuine psychotic episode, I hope people will have the decency to not hold it against him and his cause.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostComment

Maybe someone was ticked at how successful his video was so they slipped him some drug to cause a psychotic episode.PLesa excuse the tpyos.Comment
