These old videos are always so interesting. My parents were born in '54. These videos give me a glimpse in to their lives.

[@MacNifty]

Same here. My parents born 54 and 55. And they are so oblivious to everything.

[@manhoot]

This is at least 1971 because there's an AMC gremlin in the parking lot when the youth is breaking into the car

[@billdescoteaux]

I saw a Pinto too.

[@NoirL.A.]

before i even noticed the car i also thought by the way people are dressed this looks more like 70's than 60's. i was born in 68 so i remember how we dressed back then.

[@michaelch5060]

The police cruiser looks like about a 71 Plymouth. Thanks for sharing

[@danielcruz8347]

Crime and time..book um..DAN O... thanks periscope films.....

[@aarond23]

These are the 'good old days' we always hear about :)

[@hoagie1978]

This looks early 70's. About 1971-1973

[@NoirL.A.]

i also thought by the way people are dressed this looks more like 70's than 60's. i was born in 68 so i remember how we dressed back then.

[@NoirL.A.]

i was born and raised in the south bay section of L.A. and have lived in torrance and all this stuff is still there except that it may look different now for various reasons.

[@rustyshakleford5230]

Back when sears could mail you a pistol.

[@dariowiter3078]

Until LBJ and his gang took that action away through the stupid legislation he passed while he was POTUS. That contributed greatly to the increase of crime in the late '60s/early '70s, along with the immorality that came out of nowhere in the mid '60s. 😒😒😒😒😒

[@mackpines]

1969: "We're living in violent times." 2021: Hold my beer.

[@xtreme1002003]

They would lose it if they saw what we have to deal with today.

[@eshaanreza832]

Literally everything was violent since the creation of mankind

[@mikeflynn1629]

Hahahahaha😂

[@user-ul3lx2sl1q]

❤ the music at the beginning!

[@LakeErieOH1]

background music from original animated spiderman "home" episode, both beginning and end scences in the malt shop; excellent music

[@CEOkiller]

It’s those damn hippies!

[@manhoot]

It's prudent to be aware of the company you keep.

[@melchristian8876]

👍👍💯💯

[@bboucharde]

I grew up in a rough neighborhood of Los Angeles, and this video is right on. This video should still be shown in the public schools now, except that in California, it would likely be politically incorrect, because it supports traditional law enforcement.

[@mackdaddyg321]

Nonsensical comment.

[@bboucharde]

@@mackdaddyg321 Mack, No it is not, and you know it! Sit down for coffee with LAPD and LACO sheriffs to get their perspective on the front line.

[@dariowiter3078]

Very damn true! 😒

[@dariowiter3078]

​@@mackdaddyg321 Stupid "Karen!" 😠

[@horuscurcino]

And he's still imprisoned

[@0neIntangible]

Bunking with Bubba.

[@razvandobos9759]

1968?

[@scratchdog2216]

2:42 AMC Gremlin looks like. '70 earliest. My guess anyway.

[@billdescoteaux]

@@scratchdog2216 There's also a Pinto, so no earlier than Sept. of '70.

[@patrandolph4209]

This is The Best Video. I think I Actually saw it in 1973, in White Privilege school.
