The Ellingsons of Grace City, North Dakota, buried their son Cayler on Monday. At age 18, his funeral came decades too soon.
While the Ellingsons have been mourning for more than a week, the dinosaur news organizations could not care less — never mind care about the national political significance of his premature death.
At about 2:55 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 18, a police affidavit explains, a local officer was “requested to respond to northern Foster County for a fatality hit and run accident” in McHenry, North Dakota.
The deceased was Ellingson, a recent Carrington High School graduate and aspiring ultrasound technician.
This would have been merely a tragic rural death, but for these crucial details:
A thoroughly unpresentable motorist named Shannon Brandt, 41, was at the scene. Police say his blood alcohol level was 0.08. That equals North Dakota’s threshold for driving while intoxicated.
“Brandt stated that the pedestrian called some people, and Brandt was afraid they were coming to get him,” the sworn statement continues. “Brandt admitted to State Radio that he hit the pedestrian and that the pedestrian was part of a Republican extremist group.”
So, Ellingson’s killing was politically relevant.
Not so fast, the Associated Press insists.
