To be fair though, a lot of the reason why people don't want to get involved is:
a. becuase they don't know what to do or how to do it
b. they don't know, and therefore fear, the legal ramifications of stepping in
c. or they know/believe that they'll get dragged through the ringer by the lawyers if they do step in
To paraphrase Sun Tzu; Know Yourself, Know the Threat, and Know the Law.
The bottom line is, its harder to be a good, law-abiding citizen contributing to society than it is to be a scumbag sponging off of society. But then it probably always has been. That's the price of civilisation - the price of freedom is constant vigilance.
That's my two cents worth anyways.
