....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.
The sign reads: NO ROPE, NO TREE, JUST A COP, WITH HIS KNEE.
.....Gewanter is known for his politically charged messaging outside his store, usually aimed at President Trump.

1A and a business owner. Bless him.
He can say anything he wants. That’s his privilege.
I need to be very careful and not say the wrong thing or else I’ll get in enormous trouble. That’s my privilege.
Interesting. I heard liquor stores were a common target in the recent unpleasantnesses.
A cop with a KNEE!! OMG!! How TRITE! I do NOT want ANYONE KNEELING Except for GOD!
Just trying to protect his.
Gritty
The cop had his knee on George Floyd’s neck, see?
Not too long ago, the picture of a noose or a rope, or a noose hanging in a tree, or found on the ground caused certain reactions and hysteria. It required “investigations” for a possible “hate crime”. The left told us just seeing such “symbols” causes black people great mental harm because it congers up the racism that still pervades America.
Has anyone asked any of these leftists why kneeling now is not seen in the same way? If a rope or noose (real or images) can do such harm, does not kneeling remind us all of police murdering an innocent black man because of the racism still pervades every crevice of (white) America and its racist system? Hence, like nooses and rope, public displays of kneeling is a racist act meant to intimidate, to express racism? Now that that has been established, the NFL and NCAA players now have a dilemma.
GFY
if you want to talk about & compare violence then let us look at everything including black crime, African nations, countries and cites led by blacks.
Double meaning.
Trouble is Trump has nothing to do with this. This was a police officer in a liberal town run by Democrats.
Might do better with
No rope, no tree
Just my shop and S&W .40
Does nothing positive happen in this country? Do people here seek to post the worthless articles day and night? They used to be articles that were worthy of political discourse and there are so few anymore. It’s a shame.
Haven articles that disagree with us that are written by articular riders and can be discussed in an intelligent manner.
It’s like becoming a yellow journalism outlet and that’s a shame
Apparently not. FR is littered with “look at the latest media attack on Trump.” As though every freaking person alive doesn’t see that 24/7. P
Some days that is literally all you see on this site.
If Mr. Floyd had been hung from a tree would political leaders be displaying a rope?
Very confusing signaling.
GREAT POINT!!! PASS IT ALONG!!

‘Tis a bit like Dr. Seuss.
