In reply to the discussion: I knew KONY 2012 was too good to be true. [View all]Pacafishmate
(249 posts)20. What's the point of getting rid of Kony?
Someone else will just take his place. He has a second in command... and a third and a fourth and so on. Invisible children also uses their money to finance arms for groups opposed to the groups they dislike. They bought arms for the SPLA, a group that has been noted to commit the same crimes that Kony is accused of. Rape, looting, child soldiers. So if you want to support rape, and things of that nature, please donate to Invisible Children. Even then, 69% of your money is lining the pockets of the three founders.
They sure do look happy with those guns.

The LRA is not just Joseph Kony. I'd support a strategy similar to what was done with the IRA.
