I think what redeudck is trying to say is that if you see people who are not mentally fit nor capable, and are acting in a way that demonstrates that they lack self control, you should steer clear.

People, from the news and from what I’ve seen, can easily snap because of underlying mental health issues.

Obviously if someone is getting raped or if there’s a crime occurring you need to call the police; there’s a massive difference between rape and being rude to employees.

There's no need to try and explain what u/redrudck was trying to say. It was crystal clear. Here is the thing, though... the way of the coward is always safe, because cowards just walk away and actively avoid any and all risk. I can't imagine being so chicken shit as to witness an injustice (even if it doesn't rise to the level of a crime) and choosing to just turn your back and walking away.

Maybe grow a spine, and resolve, and learn that to fully participate in a just and civilized society also means being actively involved in keeping it so. That doesn't mean you have to be *personally* involved, but it does mean taking action. If you don't feel safe interjecting yourself into a situation, then find someone that does and/or contact law enforcement. Don't just walk away. That's just being a coward.
