Do you miss the good old days Part ll?

Question

Back in 1968 if you threatened police it was a sure bet that you would be getting a good beatdown and some time in the slammer.  Today, nobody gets taught a lesson and nobody goes to jail.

ICE is literally shooting people to death, they were beating protesters in NJ just the other day, they attacked Democratic politicians trying to exercise their legal right to inspect federal facilities, and the ICE camps are literally concentration camps.

Your idea of the "good old days" seems to be 1940 Germany.

"Not even a year in, there already have been three reported deaths at Camp East Montana. In one case, a man was beaten to death after asking for his asthma medication—a death the Medical Examiner later ruled a homicide. A fourth man died shortly after being released from Camp East Montana, where he had been denied the chemotherapy that he needed to treat his cancer"

"People held at Camp East Montana are in civil detention, not serving criminal sentences. In fact, the majority of people detained at Camp East Montana have no criminal background whatsoever. As of April 2026, approximately 80% of people detained there had no criminal histories. Even those with past criminal histories—the majority of which are for nonviolent offenses—have already served their time and are not detained at Camp East Montana under a criminal sentence."

I heard New York used to have a lot of crime and the subways were dangerous but when Giuliani became the leader, he hired police officers to severely beat and torture criminals who made problems on the New York subway, and that is why the New York subways are no longer dangerous for most visitors now. In China crime is low, because if you rape or kill somebody or steal large amounts of money, it is an immediate death sentence by bullets. There is no time wasted in jail, you get shot and killed right away.

You’re asking on a site filled with social rejects. They will openly tell you this. They have Asperger's or other mental illnesses and they have so many opinions. The people from Europe that cry about Trump, have no real reasons for crying about Trump. The truth is they have no courage to criticize their own countries, so they have to criticize America.
What kind of a freak show would complain about a ballroom they will never see? Sick people.

Some have sarcastically suggested that we have "too much" liberty. That attitude ignores a simple truth: if you choose to live in a society, receiving liberty means that you have an obligation to act responsibly towards your neighbors. In the current milieu, responsibility gets short shrift.

Why are you such a tool and a troll?

In 1968 in the USA, students were vehemently protesting the Vietnam "conflict". It wasn't a war, Exit. Only Congress can declare war, and Vietnam was a military action. As it turns out, history shows two things: 1) The US should never have been there, and 2) Once there, they were neve in it to win it.

Why #2 ? Because that's what the troops said about it. More than 58,220 US military personnel were killed in that conflict which accomplished what? Well, it kept the military complex fat and profitable. The North Korean regime took over the country anyway when Saigon fell and the US finally pulled out. So NOTHING was accomplished except profit for munitions industries at the expense of all those lives. Yet another case of the government feeding you bullshit.

So when you show a photo of a Nam protestor getting beaten, or cops in the south beating on civil rights marchers, I applaud them because THAT"S what real patriots did. You and your cult on the other hand, have done no good for anyone.

Good old days? My grandfather is currently in hospice care and has just started opening up about Vietnam despite me having been in the Marine Corps as well. These man went through hell. America accomplished nothing there as well lol. It’s widely considered the most useless war in US History. 1968 the civil rights movement was wrapping up, but most law enforcement agencies were still legitimately racist toward black people. I’m not talking about “racism” we see today. There was real racism and police were horrible. If you think having ego driven cops in their 20s beating others because you offended them is justice, then I don't know where your head is at. States like CA have disarmed justice, but that doesn’t mean we revert back to have a bunch of hot heads senselessly beating citizens in the name of the law. There were some redeeming events in that era, but you’re focusing on the opposite lol.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I don’t think they should be able to beat you for verbal harassment and perceived threats. But if you actually attack a cop, they should be able to beat you mercilessly until you lose consciousness or run away. Especially now that we have body cameras. Back in the day, a rogue cop could kill you and claim you were a threat. Now it’s rare for cops to not have BWCs and/or dash cams recording their every move. It’s definitely changed the way most people perceive claims of police brutality. If it hasn’t, then those people have chosen ignorance.

When I was little, a police officer visited the school a couple times a year, talking about safety, bicycle safety in particular. It was a good way to get to know and trust the police.

My kids never had informal police visits like that when they were in school. And today, the only time a police officer enters a school is when there's a shooting. With the media denigrating the police, it's no wonder that today's youth and younger people don't trust the police.

Danzigdawson · Answer

Indeed. Back then, you were shot dead by the national guard for protesting the Vietnam war on a college campus.

Nowadays, the most contemptible dumbasses amongst us are able to riot, attack law enforcement officers and trash the capitol in the name of a pedophile's lies: they won't get mowed down by machine gun like they deserve.

It what happens when government is soft on crime and criminals, people take advantage.

People respond to strict and strong governments that establish law and order and those that refuse will get their asses kick real bad to teach them a lesson.

sage2021 · Answer

I do miss the good ole days and for so many reasons.

Back in 1968 if a police officer was pulling you over while you were driving, you had better pull over! No high speed chase unless on TV.

Now it can easily turn into a gun fight and someone can get shot and killed.

I remember when the cops used to chase criminals on foot for blocks and blocks - they don't do that anymore, they just shoot you to make you
stop. 🛑

In Britain its no wonder migrants come here to rape & gang rape. No real consequences.

lightbulb27 · Answer

I mis the concept of responsibility. Since it was removed, since religion (to someone control the human selfishness and train the minds) was removed, and since fathers were removed by way of war and divorce changes...

we decay.

Yeah. Too much liberty. That's the problem! 🤦‍♀️

People come here for the country that we built and then complain about everything and change it so it can become a shithole. We need to clean house.

I miss a simpler time when the world was more human and more connected. But i'm not sure there was ever a "good ol days". Just a time when the world made more sense. I don't know maybe every who gets older feels this to some degree.
