Pool Not Cool In Uganda

Kampala to be precise. It’s now illegal to play pool during the day in Uganda’s capital city. The metropolitan chief of police Grace Turyagumanawe claimed that the game has become inextricably linked with young delinquents drinking ‘illegal spirits’ and smoking 'drugs'. She told Ugandan national The Daily Monitor that: "They also use this as a meeting place to make plans of robbing people of their property at night… We are not banning the sport, but we are stopping people from playing it during the day."

I can definitely see the logic. Pool tables must be brilliant criminal rendezvous points. For one thing they're easy to hide under; they're also impossible to see near trees. The next logical step would be to ban toilets. All criminals use them, I've seen it myself. Perhaps they could ban people as well, they're always up to no good.
