  • Producing an earth-shattering, virally successful video could take its toll on anybody. Especially when that video strives to save the lives and minds of African children from the throes of kidnapping and forced-soldiery. Deadlines, last-minute edits, high emotions, sharp criticisms, and even widespread success are all things that the human mind doesn’t normally have to deal with, and it can be tough to process them all at once. I guess that’s what happened to Invisible Children and Kony 2012 producer Jason Russell last week, when he was detained by San Diego police for public nudity and erratic behavior.

    At first we had rumors and police reports that Russell was naked in public last Thursday, allegedly off his rocker and maybe even masturbating in public. Then, of course, somebody leaked a video, assumedly of the naked, unglued Russell, though from the distance it was shot you couldn’t quite make out who it was. What it does show is a totally naked man standing on a street corner in broad daylight, pacing around and smacking the ground with both hands. Click the NSFW link above to see it.

    Now we have some more video for you, this time up close and personal (via TMZ). Not only does this video confirm that Russell’s the naked guy in question, but you can also hear him ranting, cursing, clapping, and yelling something about the devil. It’s been blurred and bleeped, but you still might not wanna play this in the office:

    According to reports, Russell was not arrested for his actions and won’t be charged with any crimes. While what he was doing was technically illegal, San Diego police determined that based on Russell’s actions and words during the incident, a psychiatric evaluation was the proper course of action. Here’s a video of a SDPD spokeswoman explaining the incident.
