HOW TO DEAL WITH BEING STONED 

Try & curl up on the ground & make of your sockets & limbs as much of a thick-walled fortress as you can & make sure to muffle your ears with your elbows or palms from the mob whose revelry in killing you tortures you with humiliation & amplifies your terror.  Then the great hope - yes yes hope even then stupid infuriating hope - the great hope you can legitimately hold out is that you will be struck bad quick on the back of the head & knocked cold.
