Florida ‘Grim Reaper’ who begged coronavirus beachgoers to stay home participates in protests

The Florida man who dressed up as the Grim Reaper to guilt those crowding the state’s reopened beaches is now protesting in large outdoor crowds.

Daniel Uhlfelder, a lawyer and graduate from the University of Florida’s Levin College of Law, posted images of himself at a Black Lives Matter protest in Defuniak Springs, Florida, on Sunday. In the photos, he can be seen wearing a shirt with the quotation, “I can’t breathe,” in reference to the words of 46-year-old black man George Floyd, who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, and others killed in police custody.
