I agree with that. But I do not agree with you saying it is my responsibility.
Legally, we have no obligation. Morally, well...morals are between a person and their own belief system/deity/conscience.
If you feel like its your duty to intervene in others confrontations, that's fantastic. They even made a job for you...you can sign up down at the local police station.
