The average person was different in those days and less likely to knife and rob you maybe the situation we all faced as a nationa then made a difference or is it just what western society has become.
Would you advocate your son or daughter to intervene in some gangland incident in New York or Chicargo I think not and that is what Boris is saying about his own children.
Yes report the crime but do not endanger yourself or end up being a suspect in the crime.

I would be proud if my son or daughter intervened and prevented a crime from happening to an innocent party. That is what being a good Citizen is all about.
That is what I teach them to do.

There are many worse things in life than getting hurt. It is perfectly normal and (used to be) expected to endanger yourself to help others.
If enough of us endangered ourselves, the Bad Guys would have a very hard time indeed. Our Society has degenerated and weakened itself precisely because people are no longer willing to Get Involved.
I say “Bollix” to that notion! Get involved! Get stuck in. Interfere. Go in Harm’s Way and maybe get hurt if you have to: at least you can sleep at night with a clean conscience.
