Who Would've Thought?

          I've heard it all, from “Stop Kony 2012” being the long lost salvation for the children of Uganda, to Kony actually being falsely portrayed by the media. In a world practically controlled by social networking, there is always someone looking to rebel against a large social movement. But they often have legitimate reasons, as they support their videos or blogs with strong evidence.
          So who can we really trust? Yes, "Stop Kony 2012" has a couple million views, websites, merchandising, and the support of celebrities, but can we really put faith into this movement? Jason Russell, the co-founder of "Stop Kony 2012," the man who appears to have such a close an innocent connection with his infant son, has been arrested. You'd think it would be for protesting, or damaging property (both of which I would support, because sometimes barbaric actions prove more effective than peaceful protesting), but he was arrested on other charges. Not to take a cheap shot at him, but the man we once thought was a saint sent to this world, so to speak, was arresting for public intoxication and sexual exploitation. So, to put this in layman’s; the dude was drunk and masturbated in front of a bunch of people. Alcohol is crazy, huh? It can make supposedly good people do bad things and make the angels look dim-witted demons. Would you trust this man, or even the movement as a whole? On a personal note, I still would. I never really was crazy about the whole thing, but some inappropriate actions do not determine his morals and his intentions to make the world a better place. Try telling that to the media. Oh shit, how the spotlight will burn on him.
