[ There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws ] -- Ayn Rand

The Rule of Law is dead in western society. So then, what are we going to do about it?

Will we just pretend it didn't happen and continue about our daily lives as if nothing is wrong?
Are we going to ignore this man's plight, since we don't know him personally?
Maybe we can just remain silent and hope the state doesn't target us next?

When the Rule of Law is dead, there is no reason to continue abiding by the rules. Talking is when we believe we can work within the system peacefully. We don't have a working system anymore.
