Just because this guy got off his meds or was pervert in real life or whatever...the point is: His and his Partner's Video went VIRAL and influenced many Young Folks who didn't realize what was going on in Africa. Those young people will find this article very disillusioning to what they were awakened to, as what they thought was a very just cause. And, it may be a "just cause" or it may be that a group getting money was just another part of the money grubbers involved with folks who influence our Govt. for profit ...but, it's important to still keep reading and learning.
Leo gave a link about a book he found interesting to read about Kony's background and Sub-Saharan Africa and I gave links to someone who has served in Uganda who had problems with KONY 2012 and some other links.
We need to not give up on reading about what could be "Next US Theater of War after Syria and Iran" just because some guy went off his meds...or whatever and now many are going to become disillussioned and never finish checking out whether what they said was true, a full picture, propaganda, a swindle or something inbetween.
Just saying... My 2 cents worth.
