Before this I havent even heard of the guy. This is going worldwide so that can only be a good thing. Goverments are
not going to do a damn thing without being pressured.
The world has many many problems, obviously if Kony is getting caught, it doesnt solve anything. But it does help all the children
whom are held away from their families and makes their life better.
Obviously childrens army, women getting raped is happening in more parts Africa. And it has been here for a longer time. But its never too late for a change. We all could make a change. What if we are not going to do anything? Kony will just keep on going and the life of many Africans will remain a living hell.
What if the media didnt paid any attention at all to all the chaos and riots in Egypt? Then khadaffi would still be able to commit crimes against their own innocent people now. All the attention and media pressured to goverments in going to action.

he's never bought one those wristbands... if he had, he would know they break very easily, and that's why people don't wear them anymore

seems a bit strange to ban them
They can seem a little poser-ish, but surely there's not so much harm to it that wearing them has to be banned?

He'll have a whole chain of command/kids hes been grooming to continue his work if he ever does get killed. The video makes this out to be a simple fix and that if we all donate and show awareness then this will stop. Fact of the matter is, Ughanda has no oil or anything of value o no country is ever going to get seriously involved in it, regardless of how many people put up posters or psot the video online.

KONY 2012 is the product of a group called Invisible Children, a controversial activist group and not-for-profit. They’ve released 11 films, most with an accompanying bracelet colour (KONY 2012 is fittingly red), all of which focus on Joseph Kony. When we buy merch from them, when we link to their video, when we put up posters linking to their website, we support the organization. I don’t think that’s a good thing, and I’m notalone.
Invisible Children has been condemned time and time again. As a registered not-for-profit, its finances are public. Last year, the organization spent $8,676,614. Only 32% went to direct services (page 6), with much of the rest going to staff salaries, travel and transport, and film production. This is far from ideal, and Charity Navigator rates their accountability 2/4 stars because they haven’t had their finances externally audited. But it goes way deeper than that.
