I watched a documentary the other day about the shooting in america which is pretty famous, Columbine?... but there were many wounded who where paralysed from the wounds they received, so I wont say that is 100% the case, but I agree, I think I'd rather be shot than kicked to death.
At least if your shot you can make a good estimation of whether you're likely to live or die or it'll be immediate. Being beaten by someones hands and feet feels like it lasts a life time and how are you to know what extent you are injured inside or whether your to live or die?!
Americas issues with school shootings seem to be with troubled kids that could've received help and probably not have caused any harm at all, where as in this country it's just a trend to carry a weapon and use it. Our kids aren't found to have suffered from loneliness and psychological problems like the virginia tech shooter or columbines, they're just normal kids and I think that's far more scary.
According to wikipedia though there have been 5 school shootings in America just this month. Obviously it's wikipedia and it's not to be held as solid fact but that obviously doesnt look good.
