As thousands of protesters and Central Security Forces (CSF) locked horns – trading stones and teargas cannisters –
for a third consecutive day near Cairo's Tahrir Square, a young boy clad only in green boxer shorts emerges from Egypt's Nile River to pelt soldiers with stones before disappearing back into the river.HT:

Naughty little Nile fish! However, stones can injure badly and kill, most clearly in Israel.
ReplyDeleteWalking through a mostly Jewish area of London one evening, I watched a boy of about the same age, an Arab/muslim, with his mother. As they walked along, he made very professional shooting movements with his arms and head, alternating them with throwing movements: seems like he had been watching stone throwers and was imitating them very efficiently. It was a horrible display and the mother did not tell him to stop and behave himself. In fact, it was a scary moment.
