13. I dug and dug and found out about Alan Tucker.

The lawyer who released the video, not the one representing Roddy now.

I wish I could find the video but here's what he said:

""The video speaks for itself," Tucker said. "What happened, happened. I don't have an excuse for it. I can't explain. Other than, we always say, 'What if he had just froze and hadn't done anything, he wouldn't have gotten shot.'"

"Have you ever had a gun pointed at you? I have on three different occasions. You do one of three things…freeze, fight or flee”. I have always frozen and looked at the barrel hoping I could move fast enough once I saw the flash, to not be shot. When someone has a gun pointed at them, the person holding the gun has no clue how the other person will react. Will they freeze, will they run, or will they fight? In their mind they are trying to process in seconds the proper way to react. If I run do I get shot in the back. If I freeze can I dodge the bullet. If I’m going to get shot anyway, do I go down fighting. From looking at the video, Mr. Arbery obviously decided to fight. If he had just frozen, he wouldn’t have gotten shot. "
