That is a reasonable point I guess. I think though that this is a step in the opposite direction away from leaving everything up to authority. What is being advocated is citizens themselves intervening. I think in the modern area in many places there is a kind of leave it to the authorities mentality partially fuelled by fear of violent retribution to those that intervene or legal repurcussions. This seems to create a society that looks the other way and somehow expects society or authority to solve the problems.
