30. People assume the cause means the guy's above reproach instead of incredibly sketchy

Of course, that was what he intended in the first place.

It was actually a kid near my neck of the woods that started investigating his organization and began talking about things like the 80% "overhead" rate and Kony 2012's ties to some pretty vile evangelical or Dominionist groups.

Kony himself is one of the single vilest people on the planet and his defeat, arrest or death will only be a net plus for the species, but that doesn't mean that IC's a squeaky-clean group of paladins.
