Are we as individuals responsible to enforce them? If we are then do we risk our safety? Where does it end? Do we enforce all laws? If a person jaywalks are you going to yell out he shouldnt?

From their discussions, I knew they were Defence. I let them go for a while, and noticed other people on the train weren't impressed with them either, at first I politely asked them to take their feet off the seats, they ignored me, so I was a bit more abrupt. Their comments of me having mental health problems pissed me off, but being left alone without the backup and support of others, I was left vulnerable. Why won't others speak up?
