normal and natural

“Freezing is normal and natural, and bad guys rely on it, they expect it to last for the entire assault. Anyone who thinks they can not be surprised or won’t freeze for an instant when they are caught off-guard is wrong.”  - Rory Miller, Facing Violence

Comment: It comes down for me, are you alive? Are you able to go home? Are any injuries received not crippling? Are you allowed to leave by the responding authorities? Did you dodge the prosecutor’s wrath? Questions and this like are telling you that even if your froze as expected in a lot of cases that you did good dude, you made it and remained in the SD Square.
