On April 27, Anthony shot and killed an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pennsylvania-woman-allegedly-faked-her-own-death-to-avoid-being-charged-with-making-a-false-accusation-of-sexual-assault\/\" title=\"Pennsylvania Woman Allegedly Faked Her Own Death To Avoid Being Charged With Making A False Accusation Of Sexual Assault\">alleged shoplifter<\/a>, later identified as local transgender activist Banko Brown. In an interview with The San Francisco Standard, Anthony spoke out about the incident and the effects it has had on him.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cA Life-Changing Matter\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>\u201c[I\u2019m] still dealing with it, still don\u2019t understand and don\u2019t have the time to reflect,\u201d Anthony said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like I go through this many times. This is a very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/san-francisco-security-guard-who-shot-alleged-shoplifter-speaks-out\/\" title=\"SF Security Guard who shot suspected shoplifter speaks up.\">life-changing matter<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Under Immense Pressure<\/h3>\n<p>Anthony declined to elaborate on the details of the shooting. According to a Thursday report from the San Francisco Standard, police said that Anthony tried to stop Brown from shoplifting. He was still standing inside the store when Brown walked out. Brown then turned around and allegedly spat on Anthony and raised a hand to him. It was at that point that Anthony drew his gun and fired.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony pointed out that security guards like him are under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/big-tech-to-ban-parler-over-lack-of-content-moderation\/\" title=\"Big tech to ban Parler over lack of content moderation\">immense pressure<\/a> in confrontational situations like that, and that it happened very fast. \u201cThis is important for more people to be more aware of,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was happening too frequently.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cA Frightening Feeling\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Being a security guard is difficult because you are on your own in more ways than one, he added. \u201cWho has my back? Nobody?\u201d he said. \u201cYou are left with no support. It\u2019s a frightening feeling with a lot of people around you\u201d who could do you harm, he added.<\/p>\n<h3>No Charges Pressed<\/h3>\n<p>San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement to news outlets Monday that after looking at surveillance footage and statements from both Anthony and witnesses, her office will not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/another-wave-of-portland-police-quit-amid-massive-spike-in-shootings-and-stabbings-fire-dept-responding-to-10-homeless-tent-fires-a-day\/\" title=\"Another Wave Of Portland Police Quit Amid Massive Spike In Shootings And Stabbings; Fire Dept. Responding To 10+ Homeless Tent Fires A Day\">press charges<\/a> against Anthony in the shooting. \u201cThe evidence clearly shows that the suspect believed he was in mortal danger and acted in self-defense,\u201d the statement read, via The The New York Times. The statement called the situation a \u201ctragedy,\u201d but said they could not charge Anthony in good faith. \u201cWe cannot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jan-6-committee-expected-to-vote-monday-on-issuing-criminal-referrals-for-trump-on-three-different-charges\/\" title=\"Jan 6 Committee Expected to Vote Monday on Issuing Criminal Referrals for Trump on Three Different Charges\">bring forward charges<\/a> when there is credible evidence of reasonable self-defense,\u201d the office stated. \u201cDoing so would be unethical and create false hope for a successful prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Outrage from Activists<\/h3>\n<p>Jenkins\u2019 decision prompted outrage from activists in the community. One such activist, Lia McGeever, vented her outrage during a city Board of Supervisors meeting. Declaring that \u201ctrans-genocide of this country, in this city, has brought me to\u201d it, McGeever tore off her face mask and screamed for 10 seconds, pausing to yell, \u201cImagine that.\u201d The activist screamed for another five seconds, then yelled, \u201cI hate this. I hate what you\u2019ve done to us. I hate what you\u2019re doing to us. I hate you, board of supervisors. I hate you, London Breed. I hate you, Jenkins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After screaming for another five seconds, the activist yelled, \u201cF*** you. F***ing ay, man. F***. Cowards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hank Berrien contributed to this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The security guard who shot and killed a shoplifting suspect in self-defense spoke out about the incident Friday.
