Particles are not "thrown out" of a black hole from its event horizon. You may be thinking of Hawking Radiation, or you may be thinking of relativistic jets being emitted from the accretion disk around a rotating black hole. These don't contradict the fact that nothing can "come back" from behind the event horizon of a black hole.
