What South Park did was fine- satire and mockery are perfectly healthy responses in a democracy to people whose ideas you disagree with and think are silly and bad. Violence is not.

Man leaves a loaded gun in his house, and a kid picks it up and kills another kid. DA gives the man $50,000 bond and charges that'll keep him out of jail. Parent lets his sons walk to the grocery store. One of the kids gets hit by a car and dies. SAME DA charges the parents…

Did parents in the 70s/80s/90s really allow their kids to roam freely, or is that just a portrayal seen in movies

The 21-year-old drinking age had widespread and extremely negative consequences that have nothing at all to do with alcohol. It effectively shifted the American age of adulthood forward 3 full years. With effects on marriage, work, travel, everything.
