How would your response be, if someone close to you, would have been killed in a airplane crash, because the pilot was blinded by some idiot?

A slap on the wrist for him, because shit happens? I don't think so.

I mean this scenario has not happened yet, as far as I know, but eventually it will, if idiots keep doing it.

It is an assault, that can lead to injury or death. It is not a prank. It is a crime and deserves to be treated as one.
