They weren't wrong because they didn't retreat, they were wrong because they grossly esclated the situation. Had the kid fought toe to toe and killed the guy he probably would've gotten manslughter, instead he saw it fit to crack the guys skull, right there it left the realm of mutual combat and self defense. The other guy thought it was legit to start shooting with 12 feet of distance between them, that is not really a defensable position either especially since the guy was only barking at him.
Also you are showing me you have no knowledge of what constitutes a felony, especially how it relates to violent crimes. If I were to punch someone in Florida in the face, it would be assault, but it is not anything near a felonious amount. Therefore if they pulled their strap and shot me they would get locked up for aggravated battery or assault, if I died you can bet that they would go to jail for murder. A felony has it relates to assault and battery is contigent on aggrivating circumstances such as a weapon being used, the extent of the damage being inflicted, physical/corporeal factors, and intent.
