Of course, blame what is happening today on the 60s. Even though the 60s were completely innocent compared to the nightmarish violence of today.

The 60s were relatively peaceful because they were still under the umbrella of societal values that promote such peace. It was all the hippie leftists who broke down those values, directly leading to one of the worst social pathologies of today - fatherless children. Those fatherless children are the ones doing the drive-bys.

Marxists and hippies are a virus on society, an auto-immune disorder. Get rid of them and their philosophy that there is no right and wrong, and society can be rebuilt into something stable.

Well, it took a few years for the 1960s to bear fruit.

Truthfully, though, much of the serious social problems we have today can be directly linked to LBJ's "Great Society" programs. Seriously. The opening of the floodgates to 3rd World immigration with the corresponding loss of shared American values, the destruction of the black family, the rise of violent street crime and a predatory criminal underclass, the rise of single motherhood, and on and on. While other factors definitely helped, LBJ's policies were instrumental in getting the ball rolling.

That's why I consider Johnson the worst president in the 20th century. I'd say the worst president ever but our current one is really trying hard for that title.

FWIW, I was born in the 60s and a child of the 70s and a teenager in the 80s and I can remember playing outside till nightfall without a worry in my mind.
