Our preference here in the states are more sophisticated.. our weapon of choice are guns. Find me a stone big enough and I would be more than happy to.  Most of our police are crooked!

 

 

you have no stones at all there? if you come to New England you will get plenty off them in various sizes. it`s such a suitable environment for a riot.

If it was self defense is one thing...but just to shoot in a crowd randomly..I see your point thehandsome..if it was in another region and descent he would have been punished.  Just curious...stone throwing?  I mean how big were these stones?  Do they have big stones just sitting around Turkey for people to throw?   Maybe a dumb question...but it reminds me of the barbaric days!

 

 

 No, the only stones sitting around are in people´s landscaping.  We only have pebbles and small rocks. .  But I think downtown they use baseball bats....

 

 

Sorry teas, but it was a lil bit of dumb question..

The size of the stones (or even self defence) was not the issue here really..

 

 

 Isn´t small rock a stone? I would call "stone" in someones landscaping a "rock"   Looks like you are between a rock and a hard place on this one 

 

 

 Hmm...maybe look at my previous posts and you will see I understood your point.  But I find it odd that people are still throwing stones...these days.  I do have a valid question...are stones just sitting around the road for people to throw?  Again in my enviornment we have just basically gravel...small rocks so I don´t see how someone could be threatened to shoot someone else.  Again, just trying to have a visual on the episode as to why someone would shoot in a crowd...

 Not here...a decorative stone is used in people´s landscaping.  A rock is something "small" found along the road you would skip accross a creek.  A pebble is even smaller maybe used in your fish tank..Although you could also put a rock in your fish tank and maybe even a stone depending on how large your tank is. A boulder is bigger than a stone...also found in landscaping but more often in the mountains.  Anything else you want to know about stones here?

 

 

Have you ever heard about being stoned to death?

 How very confusing, the decorative pieces of geology in our gardens (UK) are called "rocks" and the bits of geology on my drive way is called shingle (sort of like gravel) but shingle can be graded by size......  I would put stones in my fish tank (if I had one).  A boulder is something where we can agree.......... we find them on mountains too!
