As I recall, stand your ground laws, based on castle doctrine, means that "but you could have fled your own home" does not invalidate self-defence. I think you are still required to retreat when on the street.
As for people running away, the only way I see self defence working is when they still pose an 'imminent threat to life' which seems rather hard to argue.
