Like I said before, some creep stalks you while you're walking HOME, and you're not going to fight for you life when he comes up on you?![]()
You are not allowed to strike someone because they are following you or asking you a question.
Correct.
However you are allowed to strike someone if they assault you.
Right now there is no indication of who started the hostilities.
You are also not allowed to continue to beat a subdued person screaming for help even if they hit you first.
Actually you are if they attacked you and are proceeding with hostilities even through they are calling out. Under Florida's Stand Your Ground Law an individual is allowed to respond with force when threatened or assaulted.
Right now there is no indication of who started the hostilities and there are conflicting witness accounts about just who (or is whom) was calling for help.
