I don't think Midwesterners are the only people who would say "if offering my neighbor a hand & trying to get thugs to leave her alone comes with the risk of execution, I guess I'm taking that risk."

But I do know that at least in my culture, the idea that you would be threatened with brutal violence & even death because you offered a helping hand to another member of your community might make you more determined, not less, to help.
