"I agree that legally that's what you're supposed to do"

That right there is the whole point. Law and order. Chaos is the breakdown of these things.

In the real world, people are aware of such things as killing in self-defense, but no one wants it to happen. People in general want things to go smoothly, and any bad situations to sort themselves out quickly and without incident. It's why sitcoms have a situation that in real would be devastating (loss of a job, severe injury) and have them fixed and tied with a bow before the credits roll.

If the weepers are in the street, being fought and killed, then the danger they represent is REAL. You stop being intellectually aware of it, and become personally aware. You CAN catch the plague and die a horrific slow death. You CAN be murdered in the street at any moment. The law can't stop it, there is no order.
