more terror than I can even begin to express in words. Joseph Kony is a warlord who specializes in capturing and traumatizing children so thoroughly and severely that they will never attempt to run away, then training them to be soldiers who obey his every twisted command. I watched the popular youtube video and thought maybe it was a stretch. Surely no one could be so vicious in this day and time and still roam free. I was very, very wrong... “I don’t feel like it.”
