Why this time though?
Let's do some speculating, shall we? Speculating is fun!
If it was white supremacists, or the police, or religious fanatics who did the shooting, there would be witnesses willing to make a statement to the investigators.
Could it be gangsters? If it was an attempted robbery that went wrong, I think there would be witnesses willing to make a statement to the investigators.
So chances are that the shooters are part of the LGBTQ community. The media is generally sympathetic to the LGBTQ cause. The fun-loving, peaceful and non-violent LGBTQ image portrayed by the media will suffer a few dents. And the police are probably tip-toeing around a very sensitive issue.
Doubtful. It doesn't matter to me, both groups are hiding something. IMO.

What are the police hiding?
Is it all "media"?
What is the "media" hiding?
Are you drunk?
You seem to be implying that there's a conspiracy involving the police to not investigate a shooting because it may involve suspects who are LGBTQ?
Are the police noted for their sympathy towards the LGBTQ members of the public?
They, the police and media, are currently hiding – or at least not divulging – the identity of the shooters. ....snip..
You claim that the "media" know the identity of the shooters?
You claim the police know the identity of the shooters?
Remarkable
Not this time. It'll be a different victim group.So chances are that the shooters are part of the LGBTQ community. The media is generally sympathetic to the LGBTQ cause.

According to the information they’ve collectively gathered, two men wandered upon the show and pursued two queer women.
In an Instagram post by MPR News, a user who attended the show commented, “They were trying to flirt with me and my friend—who both identify as lesbians—and we told them we weren’t interested and not to touch us. They got upset and eventually walked off, and less than a minute after [they] started firing.”
“This was a hate crime,” Diveley told Reckon.
So more Americans killed by psychotic Americans with too easy access to firearms. Black, white, suburbanites, gang members, native born, immigrants... they all do it and at far greater frequency than the rest of the supposedly civilized western world. You've proved it again Bogative. Well done you! (except I'm not sure that is the take you want the rest of the world to get from the hell that is America on guns).An update on the above mentioned Philadelphia mass shooting.
The victim count is now up to 9 total, 7 of which are women. Or gang bangers as the resident skeptics here at the ol' skeptics forum calls them.

I believe that it is highly probable both the police and the media know more details about the shooters other than "male."
Just because the witnesses/victims at the punk party refuse to cooperate with police doesn't mean other people will not. Even in the violent ****hole that is Minneapolis, people are going to pay attention to gunshots and where/who they came from. I'm confident that not everyone who was witness to the shooting are complete regressive retards that refuse to cooperate with police when they are investigating a murder-mass shooting because black lives matter. The chances of no one cooperating are extremely small, in my opinion.
Same with the media. If they are not asking more details about two murderers who are on the loose, they are negligent.
Poor choice of words on my part. Instead of identity, I should have said description.Are you retracting your claim that the police and the media know the identity of the shooter?
Linked earlier, "In a command staff meeting Monday morning, O'Hara reportedly told his supervisors that victims of the Nudieland shooting have not been cooperative with investigators."Have you any evidence that anyone is not co-operating with the police?
Yes, the victims who are refusing to cooperate with police.Have you any evidence that there are people you describe as "complete regressive retards that refuse to cooperate with police when they are investigating a murder-mass shooting because black lives matter" who are not cooperating with the police?
What??? The media are interviewing people who were shot by someone. I'm going out on a limb here, but surely they know that guns don't shoot people. It takes someone to pull the trigger.How do the media know who to ask about?
Still no description of the anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime mass shooters in Minneapolis.
Dude, what do you expect them to give out? Do you think they are announcing "Be on the lookout and alert authorities to sightings of any BLACK MALES"?
I mean, if there is nothing distinctive in the description to differentiate the suspects from thousands of other people, it's pretty pointless, innit?
They say "males" so they don't have to call them "it"or whatever. But they are not announcing "BOLO for Males, but we aren't saying black males, ya feel me?"

Why do you assume they are black? That's the raycismz.

Just kidding, you are probably correct, statistically speaking.
Already quoted and linked.Can you provide any evidence for your claim about these victims?
It's just a hunch, but my belief is at least some of the reporters asked the victims and/or witnesses what the shooters looked like hoping they would give a description of someone who may fit their(the media) description of what they believe to be a MAGA type or a white supremacist.This has no bearing on whether or not the media are withholding information about the description of the shooters.
Because we know that is why you believe that they have not been "identified" by the police nor the media. As to why the media and the police are withholding information you've not given us any reason why you believe that to be so.
So while I get your meta point, this one falls skeptically flat. It makes perfect sense that police don't describe in useless broad terms. "Tall male" doesn't single a suspect out either. "Suspect has large swastika tattoo on his face" is going to single someone out of a crowd.

Could I be wrong? Absolutely. But from my experience, there is a definite pattern of media hiding inconvenient facts when it doesn't fit the narrative.
Yes, that is why. I believe the shooters are black. I may be wrong, but I highly doubt it. If you're willing to make a friendly bet, and I am wrong, you choose my avatar for one month. If I'm right, I choose yours for 2 days. Game?
The police and media are withholding information because the shooters are black and they are a victim class that needs to be protected, for some reason.
Just to clarify, I'm not expecting "identities" as of yet, just descriptions other than "male."
How is such a withholding of descriptions coordinated and maintained?
That they are regressive retards? Yes, I did.No you haven't your link was supporting your claim that victims were not co-operating with the police. The other claims you made about the victims were not addressed by that link.
I never said it was a conspiracy, it's just what they do.How is this coordinated conspiracy across all media and this police department maintained?
