Joseph Kony 2012

You guys have probably already heard about this movement.

First watch this.

Basically the idea is to make Joseph Kony (in)famous so that he can be brought to justice.

The first movement of it's kind I'm sure and already it's making waves over Youtube and Twitter.

It's the number one trending topic on Twitter at the moment.

 

...

 

This was posted on another forum I frequent, and I thought it was important enough to bring here as well. As I literally had no idea who Joseph Kony was until I saw this video. I feel like, in this day and age, people like him should already be being dealt with in a serious manner, but he seems to be slipping through the cracks.

Hi guys and girls!

 

Seriously, I can't encourage you to watch this video enough. This is something that has been going on for far too long, and after years something is finally getting done about it. This is a chance for us (all of us) to do something about it.

 

Where are are born should not dictate if we live. Get behind it, find out more about it.

 

don't ignore it :)

I've wanted to make a thread about this myself, you're faster it seems.

Well, I did all I could. Pledged, sent the video to my friends, shared the video on FB and bought the action kit. I'll try to do more, though.

 

I hope that this madness stops by the end of 2012 (Or sooner, hopefully).

I'd like to say that this is the first time I've heard of him, but I know it's not. But today is the first time I've heard about this campaign and already I've seen it on other sites where you don't really see any cross posts unless it is something wide spread. So it's off to a good start atleast.

The video freezes at 02:04 for me.

 

I am already aware, however, of what Kony and his ilk are up to, through one of the organisations that I'm involved with. There is already a warrant out for him and others,and has been since 2005 IIRC. The US has named him and his organisation as terrorists. He has it coming, we hope sooner rather than later.

No, I am not involved with kony2012, or Invisible Children organisation,I do hope that's not what you're implying, Iliad86. The reason I don't mention names of some of the charities I have dealings with is the forum rule against discussions involving a certain topic. And I used my words very carefully "Kony and his ilk", because I am very well aware that he is not on his own in what he does to children. It's an all too common practice of warlords everywhere.

 

Kony just happens to be possibly more likely than others to get what's coming due to the fact that there is already a warrant out for him. Let's hope that this hue and cry raises the profile of the problem of invisible/disappearing children everywhere.

No, not towards you, just a general thing for everyone to read. He's a bad guy and needs to be stopped, I just saw that this morning about the charity. Just a heads up if people are thinking of donating and such.

There it is! I KNEW someone would post this!!!

 

But even if we stop Kony, the LRA will crown a new leader, maybe even worse than Kony. Then what? Stop him too? Then another will come.

 

Nothing truly dies. A person dies, but they're mark on history influnces others. This movement is almost pointless, and may take lives that will never be avenged. How many countries try to stop Al Quada? They just continue to rebuild with new leaders, no matter how many people oppose them. Not one life has been avenged in that pointless war, just more lives are lost. And now we want to target the LRA. Great idea and all, but where do we start? And how do we fully end the LRA? Those two questions must be answered by everyone before this movement can have a point and actually succeed.
