Thinking more about that scene in the bar, it's an interesting take on the psychology of how groups form, too. What is it that ties the group all together, and makes other people outsiders? Just circumstance, really. The "us" vs. "them" takes hold very quickly. We've seen what people have had to do to survive, relatively good and normal people. How quickly than can become desperate and how distructive outside forces can be.
Just a few hours ago Herhsal and his people were the "them" and Rick and his people were the "us". The moment a strange, third party enters into the scenario and instantly Rick and Hershel unify against the outsiders.
It was exactly the psychology that Dr. Manhattan was counting on to diffuse the potential World War III in "Watchmen".
