It is a convenient generalization to describe all rocks as being "thrown" although some posts over time have described the catapults. One particular case was when they catapulted drugs over the fence near the Imperial Sand Dunes.
Big rocks more dangerous than a barking dog.
I’ll be expecting a La Raza protest.
I seen that too, dude must have been ripped

A basketball really isn’t that big (29.5” circumference), so a basketball-sized rock of average density would only weigh about 40 pounds. I’m sure you could pick it up, though most people could not throw such a rock very far.
I guess the writer has never heard of stoning as a means of execution.
