Oh, right, we're in agreement, not sure how I missed that, guess I should sleep more.
The bad thing was that no one was going to help you. If you tried to get help, they'd really fuck you up so if you were a pussy, you were screwed. If the locals targeted you, there was nothing anyone could do but rent you a moving van.
The nice thing back then was that you could help yourself to some justice and everyone understood. That part about ratting went both ways, no one cared about subhuman idiots and they didn't have any tech to look much into it anyway.
Now, everyone is a fucking rat carrying around a portable ratting device. Pathetic.
Technology is the real culprit here. Back in the day, they'd have to get on a fucking rotary phone and it took half an hour to get there. You'd have to wait 6 weeks to get a test back and it cost a fortune. They were like, "fuck it".
If someone bothered you, you could beat the piss out of them in front of everyone in the store, get in your car and drive away. lol
