I agree it's not a perfect comparison, but the idea is that once words starts going around town that neighbors are being disappeared in the middle of the night, people start setting up defenses in their homes. Stuff like sleeping with doors barricaded and weapons by their beds.
Will that change everything and lead to the desired outcome for the people? Not on its own but it's an important first step. You have to start somewhere.
