Thank you for posting this article. My wife retired from the Border Patrol and said some of the "rocks" were whole cinder blocks and many large enough to cause major damage to vehicles.

The media loves to infer the rocks are hand thrown only. She said the mexicans used catapults and large sling shots made of inner tubes to launch the rocks.

Glad she got out.

The standard Mideastern sling, like the one David used to kill Goliath, is altogether about 6 feet long with a rock pouch in the center. The two lines are folded back with the projectile in the center pouch. The thrower then spins the rock in the sling over his head, developing a velocity of about 100 m.p.h. Then he releases one of the two lines, sending the projectile toward its target at lethal velocity. Just about all ancient armies had whole units of swingers, who were very effective special troops. No way rock throwing isn’t lethal.
