KITE POLICE

Over 1,000 Pakistanis have been arrested for dangerous and evil kite flying:

The local government announced a ban on kite flying ahead of Sunday's festival to prevent deaths and injuries caused every year by metal and glass coated string that enthusiasts use to cut the string of rivals in aerial duels.

Kite flying is also opposed by Islamist groups and Mullahs who see it as a Hindu tradition and because gamblers often bet on the outcome of duels.

Police estimated about 500 people received minor injuries during the festival, some from sharp kite strings and others from stray bullets or pellets fired into the air to celebrate the festival.

With a bit of western know-how the Pakistanis could probably field a Hellfire armed kite. Just imagine the fun... and casualties.
