it got harder yeah but my **** started when I finally got out of college and then out of hospital much later around 2000 anoe dominoe I started to over think and get all scared! I wasn't a teen then! I was a young adult at 28 years old!

Violence is just part of life. Back in the days of my youth in the 1940s and 1950s it was a great deal more violent than it is today, only they don't want you to know that.
Although it is true there were far fewer shootings, the murder rate was pretty much as it is today.
Yet back then, the people were actually armed to the teeth. How come? Many families had weapons brought back from WW2. There was a gun amnesty in the 1960s and you just would not believe how much WW2 weaponry was handed over to the police with no questions being asked.
Now the weapons are coming here from war zones such as Afghanistan and so forth. A lot of this weaponry will be held by Muslims who've been there to fight along side alCaida etc.

Believe me when I tell you that people talk a load of crap about low crime rates in the past. This is because mainly they were not even born back then. I was born in 1941 and know from my own life that things were nothing like the wonderful picture painted by the authorities today. It was rough and tough back then.
Take care and keep safe.
