Whose right to "Stand Your Ground" takes precedence?
"Texas has one of the strongest 'Stand Your Ground' laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney," Abbott said in a tweet. “I will work as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry.” . . . .
Perry, an Army sergeant, was working as an Uber driver in Austin on the night of July 25, 2020, when he ran a red light at an intersection downtown and drove into a Black Lives Matter march before stopping.
Garrett Foster, carrying an AK-47 rifle, was among a group of protesters who approached his car. Perry told police that Foster threatened him by raising the barrel of his rifle at him, so he shot him five times with a .357 revolver through the window of his car before driving away.

If someone runs a redlight to ram their car into you, aren't you standing your ground by raising your AR-15?
