I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up yet.
What are your guys thoughts about this? Personally I feel it's a good thing to get this guy taken care of. I just can't stomach the whole Facebook/Hipster movement. A lot of these people seem like the type to protest anything violent. But how do you stop Kony? Send him a gift basket of assorted cheeses and ask him to turn himself in at the local Unicef? No! You have to kill him! So it just seems a tad ironic/hypocritical.
Thoughts? And for those who haven't seen the video that sparked it all, go here:

Kony 2012 is a film created by Invisible Children, Inc. which became a viral video.[2][3][4][5] The film's purpose is to promote the charity's 'Stop Kony' movement to make indicted Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony internationally known in order to arrest him in 2012.[6]
The film has spread virally.[7][8][9] As of 9 March 2012, the film currently has over 14.4 million views on Vimeo,[10] and over 58 million views on video-sharing website YouTube,[11] with other viewing emanating from a central "Kony2012" website operated by Invisible Children. The intense exposure of the video caused the "Kony 2012" website to crash shortly after it began gaining widespread popularity.[12] The video has also seen a number of celebrities endorsing the campaign including Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Christina Milian, Nicki Minaj, Bill Gates and Kim Kardashian.[8][13][14][15][16] On April 20, 2012, as part of the campaign, supporters will put up posters promoting Kony 2012 in their home towns. Invisible Children offers posters from an online shop in an attempt to gain wider recognition on the issue. They have also created action kits that include campaign buttons, posters, bracelets, and stickers to help spread awareness.[12]

I hope they bring him to justice.
That will do any good. He'll be humping Lady Justice grabbing her by the blindfold.

...Because nobody's every heard of the film, nor even the guy in question. Harry flugelsnipe hasn't been brought up yet, because nobody's heard of him either.
There should be a mechanism where you have to find Uganda on a map b4 you can post that vid
Vkimo's seen Congo so he can find it, I'm talking about the other blokes who prolly don't even vote

Haha! I think Congo took place in Zaire, which I just found out is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo..I think a map of Africa changes at least several times a week, haha.

So you want to talk about Joseph Kony? That's heavy stuff for RJ. The Lord's Resistance Army, (LRA), has spread terror for decades in Uganda. If you include South Sudan and the DRC then the LRA's reign of death is on a scale that's unimaginable.
Kony should be convicted for war crimes by the ICC.

Why is it that all these warlords and crazy dictators are from Africa? Is it that bad? We had that guy from Hotel Rwanda and the guy from Black Hawk Down. Is Africa really that bad that crazy assholes like Kony can come in and cause mass genocide?
That video was from 2003 when he was at his peak. There are sources claiming he has been MIA since 2006.
This guy makes some good points.

I think it's doing more good than anything else but I hate all these fuckin hipsters that are super into it. I donated but that's where it ends for me. Just like giving money to one of those santa claus guys at christmas time. there i did my part, i hope it helps.
I've never seen this much attention for a killer since Saddam Hussein.
I don't know much about the movement other than what's been on the news, but I have to say I'm glad this guy's getting national attention. He is a horrible human being and we should be working harder to find him and take him down.
Kony's got to be hiding in plain sight. He should've been captured long ago. Why Africa seems to spawn so many crazy guys is a mystery to me.

Sadly third world corruption (wich is different from ours) and the increasing number of militant groups exploiting the vast natural resources is probably part of it. Not to mention the myriad of languages/religious beliefs just as the Middle East.

A lot of countries in Africa are sadly beyond 3rd world. No promise whatsoever because of poor infrastructure and natural disasters... and random resources like diamonds to be exploited. It's a recipe for failure, and when you combine the tribal culture that still exists there (groups feuding with each other), it leads to violence and the wrong kinds of people gaining power. It would be like if the mafias of the 2nd and 1st world countries came into power over regions with no government to stop them.
I'm just glad people are finally waking up to the genocide happening in these parts of the world. We can't have Hotel Rwanda's for everything.

Those poor people were better off with living primitive. At least they could live off the land like their ancestors. Seems though that none of them were taught the ways their ancestors lived off the land. Seems their caught in an in between transition from old to modern society. As bad as things have been, it's always amazed me on how they have kids knowing those kids will have a pretty crappy existence. Then again I bet half the women are raped anyways.
