So i guess statistics mean nothing to you. Facts are facts. I'm sorry if the truth offends liberals.

Why are you blaming this on the media? It's entirely possible that they don't know. The first link states: "Authorities have not released the names of the victim or suspect." Perhaps they didn't release the race, either.

Why am I blaming this on the media? Do you think this is an isolated incident? Its been going on for years.

So, in other words, you haven't a clue. I figured as much.

Here in my part of the world, we always hear the race of the perpetrators. Why wouldn't we, especially if they're still on the loose? Am I supposed to look for a red Japanese vehicle with four tires and a windshield, or am I supposed to look for a Red Honda Accord with chrome wheels and tinted windows?

You politically correct junkies deserve what you get. Hopefully it won't be the wrath of an unnamed race the next time you're at White Castle.

From the second link: "Police have not yet released a description of the suspects."

It appears the OP's gripe is with police officials, not the media. Nice try, though.

Another lame liberal attempt to put the blame on someone/something else. What else is new?

If a black man shot two people in my neighborhood, i'd want to know it was a black man. If it was a white man, i'd want to know it was a white man. How else are we supposed to differentiate? What is so hard for you politically correct goons to understand that NOT everything is racist just because a color of skin is brought into the picture? Mindless idiocy.

I dislike when they mention the race of the offenders because many time the offenders look like me, a black male.

However, I accept this as a fact of life. Many minorities and whites commit crimes.

I dislike it because so many time certain racially frenzied, terrified people will call to report sighting the offender in their nieighborhood, even though it's only the mailman!!!

What is with you? I posted proof from the article presented by the OP that the media hasn't been informed of the suspects' race, and that's...liberal...somehow...I just don't get it.

Mindless idiocy? Maybe caps will help?

POLICE HAVE NOT YET RELEASED A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUSPECTS.

What is so hard to understand?

I can't stand PC, so I don't know who you're calling a "politically correct goon."

Maybe one of you goons with crystal balls can help the media mentioned in the OP because the POLICE HAVE NOT YET RELEASED A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUSPECTS.

Why the hell will they not release the description and race of the perpetrators?

kare11.com | Twin Cities, MN | 2 dead after shooting at Maple Grove McDonald's (http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=631082 - broken link)
kare11.com | Twin Cities, MN | Man murdered outside Hopkins White Castle (http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=631202&catid=2 - broken link)

Gee, the McDonald's incident is clearly identified as being about a love affair gone bad, WHAT does that have to do with race?

And, the polivce spokesman about the White Castle incident says of the shooter(s): "We don't know who they are"
