Good, that's how it should work. In the scenario you described, I'd say the one being followed had reasonable suspicion to believe he would be harmed/wronged and so attacking could be considered defending oneself. Perfectly fine to do so.
Sure. Why not.
I'm just not convinced that's how the Zimmerman case played out.
