Robert Gewanter, the owner of M&M Liquors on SE 8th St. in Hialeah, said he wanted to make people think of Floyd’s death and our country’s history of racist brutality against black people.

“If you think about it and you interpret it, then that's good, I’ve got you thinking," said Gewanter. "But if you interpret this as a racist message then you need to improve your language skills."

Gewanter is known for his politically charged messaging outside his store, usually aimed at President Trump.
