For some people, the privacy might guarantee that they will listen to strangers when they might not want to talk to friends and family. It is hard to know sometimes how to help the most. If you called the police is the person going to stop talking so that there is no warning next time? Or if you don't call the police, you risk the person hurting themselves.
You raise a very good point, of which I had not thought of. Perhaps you are right.
EDITED. (I meant YOU raise a good point lol)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
