No 1 is very brave when he stands up.

However...

It's No 2, "the copycat" - who by opting for action instead of passivity forces everyone else in the crowd to think that there are two options, action or passivity, and that each individual must take a stand - who is the deciding facto and in my eyes the real hero.

Don't let No 1 stand alone.

Salute him by copying him, and force everyone to think hard about their choice.
