daughter Elikia who was on board a plane on the tarmac of Edinburgh
airport, Scotland, en route to Washington, D.C. She was using Skype on
her laptop.
A part of the conversation went like this:
"Hey, dad, you know that guy on Kony 2012 video--the narrator?"
"Yeah... Jason Russell."
"Right. You won't believe this: he was arrested in San Diego. He was
naked in the street, masturbating!"
Unbelievable! At the moment, as Elikia only mentioned the incident by
the end of the short phone call, I thought Russell had gone Pee-wee
Herman in a big way. So I laughed my head off.
But later on, when I Googled the story, I wasn't laughing anymore. The
stories I read talked of a "meltdown," a "brief psychosis," or a
"nervous breakdown"...
Commenting on the incident, John Ross Bowie said: " You realize this
doesn't automatically make Joseph Kony a nice guy, right?" (Hollywood
Reporter, 3/17/2012).
Right!
Nonetheless there are two biblical twists to this story... (I am after
all in deep millenarian immersion these days: almost everyone in
Kinshasa thinks rapture could happen within the next few minutes.)
The 2 twisted biblical readings would go something like this:
1) Twist # One
God was really mad at the flak Russell got for exposing the murderous
false prophet called Kony. To make his point in a dramatic way, He
altered the mind of Jason Russell and sent him naked in the street of
San Diego, jerking off and mumbling: "He's the devil! He's the devil!"
2) Twist # 2
Prophet Kony was maligned by a heathen, name of Jason Russell. And the
God of hosts, in order to confound the miscreant for the all world to
see, sent him jerking off in the street, all the while muttering:
"He's the devil! He's the devil!"
Take your pick...
