They can't shoot him because they can't find him. If you have any idea of how big African countries are and how little of that is populated, you'll have an idea of how many hiding places there are. Think of how long it took to find Osama. Now realize that an entire country fears Kony and he has an army (including brainwashed kid soldiers) defending him and it's no surprise he hasn't been (and won't be) shot any time soon. The only way he'll get shot is if he's ever betrayed by his own men, probably only to be replaced by an even worse evil.

What can be done however is raise awareness (this is what the viral stuff is about) so that internation missions (some already in progress) stay active. It's too easy for goverments to reallocate resources away from something less than 1% of the population knows about, no matter how bad it is. So by having more people care about it, or even know about it, these missions are in less jeopardy of being cancelled.
