North Koreans throwing rocks at another tourist

When you take a ride across the Yalu River on one of the Chinese speedboats you will be warned not to take photos of the dock workers along the North Korean shore.
They do not appreciate the constant traffic of tourist boats which bring curious spectators within a stone's throw of their vessels.
("Click to enlarge" and you'll see the other comrade reaching for another projectile to hurl at the enemy speedboat from China with a camera toting taunting tourist aboard)
