Throwing stones
Description
Throwing stones is a method of violent protest often employed against armed security forces by unarmed youths. Although rocks are used as improvised weapons in large disturbances of many types, their use as a form of protest most often appears where any response by security forces -- for example, with live ammunition -- will seem disproportion in comparison. It is often seen in the Palestinian territories and in Northern Ireland. (via Freebase)
