This is not an assumption, it is an observation.

That is an assumption. Some might be aggressive, but most won't.
Except that all too often, it is not straightforward aggression that creates problems, it is oblivious stupidity, of the "Why shouldn't I empty my chamber pot in the street?" sort. There are just too many people who, if they can't see the consequences of their actions right then and there, will assume that those consequences just don't exist.

Live and let live.
Fine, when you manage to convince everyone that 'let live' is just as important as 'live' :-)
