Russell, 33, was taken into custody after he was found masturbating in public

You stay classy San Diego.

...the fuck?

I love some of those comments, though:

How can you masturbate AND vandalize cars at the same time? I'd like an instructional video.

He is an activist so he wasn't masturbating he was just trying to free Willy

just when I thought yahoo couldn't put out any more crap articles, they publish this............AND TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES!

He must have been celebrating the recent influx of donations.

Sounds like a respectable individual, let me give all my money to him.

The bigger WTF here is why society feels the need to suppress natural urges that don't harm anyone.

Edit: After reading the article, vandalising cars is valid justification to arrest him. Why make mention only of the harmless, natural activity in the OP?

Well, that was rather unexpected. Poor guy.

Masturbation being a pillar of your lifestyle is not a valid reason to justify doing it in public. This is the same reason people don't normally shit in public. No one desires to see other people doing that in public and that desire should be respected.

Straw man.

You didn't provide a reason, so I don't see how something can be the same as it.

I don't desire to see boy bands perform in public. Does that mean they should be arrested for doing so?

Depending on the place, you could in fact get them arrested for disturbing the peace. Your point?

Depending on the place, I could be arrested while wearing a blue t-shirt for breaking and entering. That doesn't mean I was arrested for wearing a blue t-shirt.

Funny, I was just about to ask you the same thing.

Irrelevant.

Glad you got the point I was making.

Now, can you please give a relevant response to my earlier post?

But boy band concerts don't take place in a random street in front of unsuspecting people. 

If you want to masturbate in public, at least give a warning and maybe charge admission.

This isn't always true, but how about a parade? What about people who smoke? I don't desire to breathe second-hand smoke; can I call the cops next time I walk past someone with a cigarette in her hand?

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I'll be sure to put up posters a day in advance the next time I intend to walk down the street eating a sandwich, which is just as harmless and natural as masturbation.

That depends what's on the sandwich. Even so, bread isn't exactly a natural ingredient.

An apple works, though.

He was just celebrating the new Iranian elections.

Is it okay to fap on stage then?

Of course.

I'm not sure eating a sandwich is as natural as masturbation. As hard as it may be to believe, some people actually don't masturbate.

He touched millions with his video and finally was able to now touch himself.

Some people don't menstruate. Therefore, menstruation is less natural than eating a sandwich.

Most of those who menstruate don't show off their menstruation in public (visually, the bitching associated is an aside).

Irrelevant. I was responding to rooster's assessment of relative naturalness, not the merit of public display.

Fine. It's still natural. I was only saying that I don't walk in public with my blood smeared on my crotch. Nor do I poo in public. Nor do I bathe, pick my nose, or cut my toenails in public. It's messy and unseemly. If you want to be a barbarian I'm sure there are plenty of cultures that will allow you to masturbate in public. But in Western civilizations you will only be met with screams and scorn.

I wouldn't mind seeing you masturbate.

Invisible Children, are what he thinks about while masterbating in public.

Because the local powers that be have decided that such things are inappropriate in public.  It's really as simple as that.
