Tough to reply at length on my phone but gettingnhit by a bus is an accident. These are consequences imposed on the kid by society, intentionally. This was the outcome people were calling for, and it was carried out by those with the authority to do it. The bus analogy is completely off.
So yeah, if you think this is what should be done with teenagers who behave like this kid, you should presumably want that to apply in all similar cases. That is what logically follows.
