I know there are no guarantees but kids should be taught not to mess with moving vehicles. It's really alarming when your car gets hit with something, and could cause an accident. A little boy was run over & killed on the road I live on a few years ago because he was throwing rocks at cars, and one stopped. He started running, and and the stopped car blocked the vision of the boy & an oncoming car, and it hit him.
That car then stopped, and the driver (the mother of my neighbor) saw what she had done, and promptly had a heart attack on the spot. She lived, but never drove again.

Omg, that is
so tragic.
I know how alarming it is to be hit with something...once a few kids were throwing huge sticks at cars on a busy street, and I got hit on the windshield. At first I hadn't seen the kids and it scared the CRAP out of me, then I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the little brats. I slammed on my brakes, backed up. The kids looked like they had shit their pants. I demanded to see their parents, and this drugged-up looking dad comes out of the house, obviously clueless that his kids were even outside. I was extremely pissed.
Then just a few months later, my own son threw a rock at a truck as it passed, while I was raking leaves. It hit the truck's rear wheel rim very loudly, and the dude reacted the same way, lol...slammed on the brakes and reversed. I ran to my son and the truck and made it very clear to the enraged man that my son would be punished. And yes, he was punished. He's never done that again.
Now shooting someone...holy shit that is horrible.
