“What has been conspicuously absent is any description of the suspects, which they were so desperately trying to find. I mean they had surveillance footage and an eyewitness (the widow) but I’ve yet to hear a usable description of the perps.”
The immediate concern is that they probably don’t want potential shoppers realizing that the unassimilated minorities may kill you (or even rub elbows with you) at this mall. The long-term issue is that they don’t want people to realize how these young minorities have been indoctrinated with such hate (similar to the programming of Germans in the 1930s) to the point where their victims aren’t even human.
Good point about the dehumanizing aspect. The “knockout game” is a prime example, where you have no interaction with your victim prior to the attack. Calling it “polar bear hunting” further dehumanizes (actually, “animalizes”) the white victims.
