Later something else comes down that doesn't effect you. You don't do anything about it because it doesn't effect you. Basic rights are taken away for your "safety".

Now, something comes down that does effect you. You do everything you can but it still happens. Basic rights are taken away for "safety" because even though you did all YOU could, too many other people didn't do anything about it because it didn't effect them.

If everybody ignores most things because it's not directly involved with them than our rights will slowly be taken away one by one because not enough people care about each individual issue. I would like to think that wouldn't happen, but it's already too late. All we can do is wait and see how far it goes.

Or you could look at it this way: Something comes along that doesn't affect you, so you do nothing. Basic rights are taken away for your "safety"

Then, something comes along that DOES affect you, but you can't do anything about it because your rights got taken away earlier, all in the name of "safety".
