Now will the people responsible for spreading propaganda against BLM take responsibility or shrug it off as "well they shouldn't have been making trouble".
You mean reporting on the actions of BLM? There is nothing peaceful about these "protesters".

Seems like a case of racists against racists.
They are not shooting people though.
So, if the shooters weren't "white supremacist" that makes it okay for them to stand around in ski-masks (usually considered a threat, always considered illegal in MN) and then start shooting the BLM protesters?
BREAKING: Minneapolis police have arrested a 23-year-old man in Bloomington in connection with the shooting of five people at the Black Lives Matter protest near the 4th Precinct Monday night.
The suspect's name has not been released. He was described by police as a white man.

If the suspects have not been caught how come the label "White Supremacists" has already been applied?
I think we all need to take a step back so the facts can be revealed then there can be a factual discussion of what happened without the labels.
I'd also like to point out when African Americans shoot a white person they are never labeled as Black Supremacists.
I know. The black thugs that raped and killed the preachers wife that's been in the news were only referred to as suspects on CNN, no color affiliation. They are black, but you'd never know from MSM reports. They always seem to drag their feet when a perp is black or Muslim, but quick to automatically assign a label when a perp is white. You rarely hear a color described in a police shooting if it's a white cop shooting a white or a black cop shooting a black or white, but the lib media trumpets when a white cop shoots a black.

No, they weren't. I've seen videos and read other reports. The white people that got near them were asked to take off their masks. When they didn't, BLM started assaulting them, and it was only when a group of BLM protesters started chasing them after they started running from the assault that shots were fired.
I've even seen reports that the "white supremacists" even originally had signage that was supportive of BLM. A movement that started as a reasonable protest group talking about police corruption and violence has turned into a hate group.
Why don't you post the video you're referring to? Or the sources? Or any evidence?
Or not (I'll just shorten the way here and guess not).
One question for you and then I'll move on: Do you believe that an armed masked group was there to help out with the protest, or, as seems obvious to any reasonable view, were they there to intimidate the BLM folks and instigate trouble?

Sounds a lot like LEOs masquerading as white supremacist to bait BLM protesters to violence, and got scared, and shot their way clear of the crowd. Bunch of trouble seekers.
IS this a stand your ground state? If it is they are actually in the right IF they felt threatened for their lives. Although they should had known better than to be around the BLM crowd while beingwhiteillegally masked and covertly armed.
There, fixed it for you. Also ...

Right.
In this situation, do you believe that the group that was masked and evidently armed were there to peacefully counter-protest, or were they there to do what they did and instigate trouble and shoot five people?
One thing at a time.

Just to be clear on the apparent consensus of many commenting here ... the BLM folks "deserved" to be shot at because you don't agree with their politics.
That about right?
You couldn't have comprehended it any worse, actually.

Awesome find!
So the 'white supremacist' are tied to the police. The video that shows one of them getting into the police car was taken 2 days ago. Apparently the counter-protest group has been coming there for days before the shooting last night.
That's with the assumption that they were the same counter protestors.
And the nice little vlog they made definitely shows their racists.
This is looking more like a psyops gone wrong.

You realize it has been below freezing in Minneapolis, right?
