Americans aren't screwed up. Although the News said something about the seventh guncrime in a school of america this week, if you compare that to the ammount of beatings and gun crime/stabbing in the UK then UK would seem screwed up too. At the end of the day it is only a percent or two of the population who are murders but I blame the fact that these crimes are committed purely on the fact that it is so easy to get a firearm in america and in england you get let off every crime, that being completely let off or a stupidely short sentence.

RIP.

Completely different. These are mass shootings with no real target except to hurt society. We never really see this on our news, we are more likely to see people caught up in gang shootings rather than a school shooting.
