back in the day(80s) if we had a skirmish it was usually over quickly with rare real injuries, and usually the combatants were friends after.

I'd assert the modern day 'zero tolerance' philosophy of this stuff from grade school through high school, has killed the self-policing mentality kids used to learn as sort of a matter of course growing up.

No. In our day, fights were broken up in about 4 seconds. Today, most of the crowd is more concerned about getting out their phones and being the first one to post it on Tweetergram. Thus, the two combatants have alot more time do more damage to each other because not enough people are trying to break it up fast enough.
