Posted on the 18 March 2012 by Lilnoodlebug @lilnoodlebug
I try not to discusspolitics or anything controversial on my blogBecause I am not afan of debateBut I feel this needsto be said...
I am going to assume thatyou all have watched this:KONY 2012 from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.

And if you haven’tseen any of the current news, you should probably read these:
LA Times
NY Daily News
TMZ

 Here are my thoughts:Did I watch the video– Yes!Did I donate to thecause – No!Did I share with myfriends – Yes!
After watching thevideo, I felt informed and educated on a topic I never knew existedIt is myunderstanding that was their intentAnd although theyhave gained many supporters, they have received equal controversy

After the news that Jason was detained
I sat back and read the judgments made and the statements of people defending himAnd I feel sadAll I can think aboutis:He is a husbandHe is a fatherHe was not preparedfor the interviews/fame that would come from thisThis has been hispassion/life for 9 years
We don’t know thefull storyWe don’t know if hehas underlying mental health issuesWe don’t know ifsomething drastic happened in his personal life that set him over the edgeWe don’t knowanything
Except that if you hear enough negativity about yourself...sometimes you eventually start to believe it
I am trying to stayneutralI am trying not tojudgeAnd I encourageeveryone to say a prayer for him and his family
**this is just my opinion**
