We’ve come to the point, I guess, where we fear so much - crime in the streets, bombings, domestic terrorism and the like - that we are virtually willing to countenance giving up of rights because we think it will safeguard us in our daily lives, particularly in the urban centers of this country. We are succumbing, in a way, and I don’t make the analogy too close, to what the German people did when the Third Reich began to plant its foot on human rights in Germany. It was better to have a strong man, it was better to curtail rights, to be safe from the Bolsheviks, to be safe from the Versailles Treaty, and so on. And they gave in to that fear, and fear is the most dangerous quotient in any community, democratic or otherwise. Once fear takes root, then people will say, “What does it matter really if he didn’t get his Fifth, Fourth, or Sixth or Eighth Amendment rights? That doesn’t effect me. I’m not on trial for anything; I’m not in jail. What does it matter?” That’s the question Pastor Niemoller faced, when he said, “First they came for the Jews and I did not raise my voice, and then they came for me.”
