Too involved??

Watch the video associated with this story http://tinyurl.com/6k7upv. The journalist helps men cross a border. Now I am honestly asking, when can journsalist get involved? He did scare them across the border they had already crossed so mayeb he was just undoing what he had done. I know they are some points where your duty as a fellow human being is more important than that of a journalist. Is this one of those times?
