Why do so many stand by idly when people, especially elderly people, are attacked on the street? Why don’t more people intervene to help the victim? Because we taught them to be passive. We forbade them to carry weapons so they can’t intervene effectively. We arrested and sued them for intervening. Read this, by a lawyer and retired Army colonel:

Then contrast our current passive approach with this non-passive lesson:

Nor shall you stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is at stake. I am the Lord.
− Leviticus 19:16 (New American Bible)
