Has anyone heard of this monster. Truly shocking what he has been doing to children for 20 years or more.

Lord's Resistance Army fella. Hopefully he'll be brought to justice sooner rather than later.

Someone should test out if he is bullet proof.

vonniec · 07-03-2012 02:23AM

Anybody interested in organising a kony night on the 20th of April!?

We could get all the major cities in on it!

callaway92 · 07-03-2012 02:56AM

This shít is all over my newsfeed on Facebook all of a sudden.

07-03-2012 03:05AM

I really hope this does not end up forgotten like all the Darfur campaigns.

PrettyBoy · 07-03-2012 03:10AM

Watching the YouTube vid right now, was all over my FB, pretty shocking stuff. Had never heard of him before today but hopefully this awareness campaign will be as big as they are saying it will be.

It was forgotten a long time ago.

****sake, thought boards was less full of people learning to use the internet than facebook. Apparently not.

I don't want to take some form of moral high horse here, but to people complaining about it flooding their desperately important news feed or the extent of the exposure of it suddenly on the internet take just 30 minutes out of your day to watch the video. There's a reason it has achieved so much attention and how it's following has suddenly exploded this evening alone in Ireland.

I wasn't complaining when I mentioned it was all over my FB, just commenting on how I came across it. Watched the whole thing and hope that people will take some time out and do the same.

Twinkleboots · 07-03-2012 03:51AM

This is an amazing campaign! I had never heard of Kony until tonight and then BAM! Everyone in Ireland will know about him and his regime by the weekend, good to see social networking being used so positively!:D

AssaultedPeanut · 07-03-2012 03:55AM

I'm usually one of those people grumbling about Facebook twats going on about this cause and that, the words "raising awareness" will send me looking for the block/hide button. But this isn't just a 'change your facebook picture to a childhood cartoon you loved to raise awareness for child abuse' (wtf?).

Just take some time to watch the vid, if you don't care, then you don't care...

Ave Sodalis · 07-03-2012 04:09AM

Hope he gets caught and let rot in hell :mad:

Don't understand why we should need to campaign at all. If the governments were anyway decent, they shouldn't have to be told that we are all humans and they have the power to stop evil, sick people in the world and not worry so much about oil, money and shít... :mad:

retalivity · 07-03-2012 04:10AM

ive heard of him before....some crazy ****

Eod100 · 07-03-2012 04:19AM

Came on here to start a thread, really glad someone else has though (which means the word is spreading)!

Very interested in starting a Kony night on 20th April like the previous poster has suggested!

amacachi · 07-03-2012 04:37AM

What's the reason for having Kony night on April 20th? He a stoner or something?

Dodd · 07-03-2012 04:49AM

How come this guy is the big fish when countries have been killing men/women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan ec.

The US will wreck the lives of more people in a few years than this guy ever will.

A nice video with a nice kid in it.
He could have put a nice kitten in there for good measure.

Two wrongs don't make a right. The 'ah shur isn't everyone killing everyone anyway' attitude is how he's managed to get away with this for 26 years.

Can't believe he's not more prolific, I'd never heard of this until this evening. Pretty sickening when you think of the amount of crap we read every day.

Xavi6 · 07-03-2012 05:51AM

I see Rhianna has latched on to it. #Kony2012 is officially cool.

stoneill · 07-03-2012 07:03AM

So - April 20th - What are we doing? Who's got the posters - where are we meeting?

And will have forgotten about him by Monday, the world is full of these guys, so long as they stay where they are no one really cares.

pegasus1 · 07-03-2012 08:55AM

This must be the reason Facebook is down in Europe.:mad:..big brother is watching...

old_aussie · 07-03-2012 09:02AM

facebook goes down, like a $2 hooker

d-gal · 07-03-2012 09:08AM

Watch the movie Machine Gun Preacher, based on a true story involving Sudan/LRA

the_syco · 07-03-2012 09:30AM

Watched some of the video. Usual "we care" people in America, but nothing about carpet bombing the place where Kony is.

Sindri · 07-03-2012 09:31AM

There's Kony 2012 spam everywhere.

It's really annoying and disingenuous.

biko · 07-03-2012 09:33AM

He's no General Butt Naked.

token101 · 07-03-2012 11:06AM

I can't watch the video, at work, but I'm guessing he's a general in some sort of child soldier army? Sure they've been doing that stuff for years haven't they? Is there a particular reason it's big news all of a sudden?

When you watch the video you'll know.
