What that says is that if you are attacking someone and then you withdraw, they may not continue to attack you in the name of self defense.

I think if you re-read the statute, you'll see that the second part limits the rights of the initiator to claim self defense when being attacked by other participants in the fight. It says nothing about the rights of the other participants. It is only about the rights of the initial aggressor.

In the Florida case, it is specifying that if you are being attacked (active, present tense), you are not required to retreat in order to defend yourself.

Yep. Even if you were the initial aggressor, in the middle of a fight. That's my point.
