Not necessarily. You have a right not to be bothered. If someone makes it a habit to harass, threaten or attack you, it is not smart to encourage or embolden the perp to continue to engage in that course of action. Someone charges at you to do you harm, they deserve being met with lethal force. No jury will say this is an unreasonable act in just about any jurisdiction.
That's a rather bold and sweeping statement.
It would also be inaccurate.
The statute on this in FL says you can use deadly force to stop a "forcible felony" which it also defines legally here ( https://tinyurl.com/forciblefelony ) You can also use deadly force in FL if by your calculation, death or bodily harm is imminent. The statute says nothing about fleeing from your attacker -- not in FL.
It only says that if you are to invoke self defense, (1) you cannot have been engaged in a criminal act at the time and (2) must have been in a place that you had a legal right to be.
Meaning: if you DON'T have right to be there, then you CANNOT invoke self defense using this statute.
This would imply that if you DON'T have a right to be there, then discretion is the better part of valor.
