#1 "... opened fire at unarmed youths throwing stones ..."
Maybe it's a judgement call, but I consider someone throwing stones to be armed. Certainly not in the same class as armed with a gun, but armed, nonetheless.

#2 "unarmed youths throwing stones"

Is that stone part of your body? N-O, that makes you armed. Why do these idiots refuse to believe you can kill with stones?

#3 Sometimes the 'stones' the kiddies are throwing are actually cinderblocks and busted-up masonry 'stones.' Not exactly pebbles, if you get my drift...

#5 Isn't "stoning" one of the main ways the Koran cites for carrying out capital punishment? And didn't David kill Goliath with a stone? So why wouldn't it be ok to shoot back at stone throwers?

#10 "Stones" actually is stones thrown with a sling quite often. Paleos are good with this lethal weapon. You can hunt with them and also be killed by one. It's a aggressive act to "throw stones" shooting back is a valid response.

#11 accurate "head shots" is the better response.

#12 "unarmed youths throwing stones"

I'd suggest the moron who wrote this should stand still for five minutes while those "unarmed" youths throw those stones at him (her?).

If he survives, maybe I'll accept his description. Until then, he can FOAD.
