Person being crushed is protestors/dissenters that is being crushed by a large oppresive whale (police/media/counter protestors) for speakingout against the whale. Other person comes allong to help, raises their voice, and is told to "keep things civil" as if they are the instigators, while the whale is maliciously using its weight to stiffle the oppressed.

Basically the norms and establishment of society is large and unwieldy and can crush any oppsition with no way of retaliation. And if somone points it out, dispite being equally small and cannot truly harm the whale, they are the ones out of line and instigators.

Edit: Words
