Considering Korean kids are allowed to kill people (who happen to like cats)

I'm guilty of throwing snowballs at passing cars and trucks when I was younger

Just curious how others would have handled this.

Considering Korean kids are allowed to kill people (who happen to like cats) do you really think this would change his mind about anything?

I have no idea what you're talking about in the first part of your statement, but as for the second part, no, I don't think what I did will have any effect on his behavior whatsoever.

I'm not naive, I've dealt with little punks like this before, and I expect that this one went straight back to throwing things at cars the moment I drove away (probably throwing them even harder, or using heavier objects just to spite me/because he was now more angry.)

But, as I said, I wasn't about to ignore this, drive on, and pretend that it didn't happen. He's testing people, seeing if/how they will react, trying to build up courage.
If he's doing this now, then this time next year he may be smashing windows and stealing GPS's, unless more people get out and yell at him, or worse.

Kids throwing things at cars. I wonder where they get the idea that they can behave in reckless and illegal behaviour, while showing utter disregard for others' welfare and safety - and getting away with it without so much as a scolding? Could it be from observing Korean motorists themselves? Are we to praise the ajoshie who (in righteous indignation) gets out of his car to scold the young punk, only to proceed to run every red light on his way home, endangering pedestrians and other motorists alike, before parking his car on the crosswalk for the night? Are we really waiting for this scofflaw to teach the kid about social responsibility, common decency, and conscientious civic behaviour?

Really?

I would have probably handled it exactly the same.

Always have a 2 channel dash cam.

Amazing that someone who graduated from university could read that news story and come away with that interpretation.

It's amazing is it?
1st, Like I have clearly said, I would have done the same thing as OP.
2nd, My point is children are allowed to run free, with no consequences for their actions.

Children who are aware and have full understanding of what they are doing just do it anyway because it will be fun for them (shits and giggles). When children throw things at cars in my own country, and I suspect yours, the police would be called and they child arrested.  A quick google search can find many news stories on this.

Really?

Or maybe its just a kid who did some dumb shit that kids everywhere occasionally do when growing up?  For effs sake Korean kids are some of the softest, easiest kids in the world.
