Police: Driver admitted to intentionally killing teen at North Dakota street dance after political dispute
Court papers say 41-year-old Shannon Brandt confessed to a 911 dispatcher and police that he killed 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson due to a political dispute.

MCHENRY, N.D. — According to court papers, it was not an accident but apparently a politically motivated attack.
The fatal vehicle-pedestrian incident happened early Sunday morning, Sept. 18, in McHenry, North Dakota, about 120 miles northwest of Fargo and 54 miles north of Jamestown.
Prosecutors allege moments before he was killed, 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson called his mom to come rescue him because 41-year-old Shannon Brandt was chasing him in the city of McHenry, where the street dance had just wrapped up.
By the time she could get there, her son was dead. ...
Court papers show Brandt called 911 around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and told the 911 dispatcher that he just hit Ellingson, claiming the teen was part of a Republican extremist group and was calling people to come get Brandt after a political argument. ...

A drunk maniac murdered an 18-year-old, admittedly because he was Republican. We know if the roles were reversed, it would be headline news for months. The boy's parents would be visited by celebrities, given awards, propped up by the media. But he supported the wrong candidate.

Let’s see if republicans in congress (Mitch McConnell?) call for DOJ to get involved in this case.…
My guess? Crickets on both counts.
-
DOJ!? What? If DOJ or Biden/Kamala got involved they would take the side of the killer, as they have done for two years and are still doing today.
This kind of behavior is 'exactly' what Biden has been pushing for. When Biden claimed that all Republicans and other non-Democrats are radical enemies of the State, this is the expected result of that kind of demagoguery and slander. When you tell Democrats that ANYONE who disagrees with you is an 'extremist' and a 'terrorist', then anything a Democrat does to quote, "Protect Democracy", suddenly becomes allowed.
But yes, in a very real way, Biden/Kamala/DOJ would support the killer over the victim. This is exactly what the Democrats have been promoting and were hoping would happen. They would much more likely reward the killer than to prosecute him.

I have not read anything that indicates he’s out on bail. He’s probably safest incarcerated. The county this happened in has a population of 3,200. Everyone knows everyone, or at least everyone knows someone who’s related to everyone. My daughter has a student who is related to the victim. I know someone who’s a distant relative of the perp. It’s such a small world. The area is devastated.

41-Year-Old Shannon Brandt RELEASED on Bond After Killing 18-Year-Old Cayler Ellingson Over Teen’s Conservative Views
By Cristina Laila
Published September 21, 2022 at 10:37am
On Sunday evening, 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by 41-year-old Shannon Brandt in a politically motivated murder in North Dakota.
The teen was attending a street dance in McHenry, North Dakota.
Brandt called 911 after fleeing the accident, telling the dispatcher that Ellingson was part of a “Republican extremist group.”
According to an affidavit, Ellingson called his mom and said he was being chased by Brandt and needed help.
Brandt confessed to killing 18-year-old Ellingson because of his politics.
The murder of Cayler Ellingson came two weeks after Joe Biden’s demonic speech in Philadelphia where he declared war against Republicans, conservative, patriots and Trump voters.
Shannon Brandt was released on $50,000 bond on Tuesday.
Brandt was charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a deadly accident.
According to Townhall, Brandt posted bond and is back on the streets.
The 41-year-old killer also started scrubbing his social media.

But if he's out, we'll see just how "extremist" this guys friends are.

Insanely low bail!
One thing about a small community - he won’t be able to be anonymous. And he won’t be welcomed anywhere.

And here is what the killer said in court regarding his bail:

Hey @$$hat the kid had family that was important to him as well.

@GtHawk
I have always failed to see any difference between "intoxicated" and "depraved indifference to human life."
And I am saying this as a man who once lost maybe 2 years to drunkenness. Not really sure how long it was because I was a "blackout drunk".
Just somehow got sober by accident one day,looked around and realized I didn't even know the car I was looking at was the car I was currently owning and driving,and didn't even know what year it was. Or where I had been living and working. I was shooting a pistol in my parenents back yard when clarity returned to me as a HUGE surprise.
I decided that was a good first clue that I needed to stop drinking,and pretty much did. Got drunk on purpose one more time maybe a year later to see if I could stop again,and did. With no trouble whatsoever.
I MIGHT drink an occasional cold beer after cutting grass in the sun in the summer,but 1 or 2 is all I ever wanted.
In fact,I STILL have the half of a fifth of whiskey I was drinking when I stopped drinking in my refrigerator. I keep it to remind me of what happened.
I also have a 6 pack of beer in the refrigerator in case company comes around and wants a beer.
Yeah,I AM one of the VERY few drunks that was able to just put it down and walk away from it. Since I haven't had a drink of whiskey since around 1972,or even wanted one,I feel like it is safe to say I am no longer a drinker.
BTW,don't think for a minute that I don't understand how lucky I am. I come from a family of drunks,and have seen relatives drink after-shave lotion when they ran out of whiskey.
What makes me even luckier,and this luck even more remarkable is I am 1/4 American Indian.
And "Yes,there were VERY good reasons it used to be illegal to sell whiskey to Indians." Had nothing to do with race or racism,and everything to do with public safety.

North Dakota man who ran down 'Republican' teen says he doesn't want his own life, job jeopardized
Shannon Brandt made the remarks during a court hearing to face charges for alleged hit-and-run death after 'political argument'
By Louis Casiano , Stephanie Pagones | Fox News
The North Dakota man accused of killing a teenager with his car following a "political argument" said he didn't understand the charges against him during a recent court appearance.
Shannon Brandt, 41, spent just days in a Stutsman County Jail on criminal charges related to the death of 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson before he posted his $50,000 bond and was released, according to county jail records.
He is charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident.
"I don't understand the differences," he told a judge during a Monday court hearing before he was released, according to video footage from a local news outlet.
Brandt objected to the bail amount, saying he was not a flight risk.
"I have a job, a life and a house and things that I don't exactly want to see go by the wayside — family that are very important to me," he said.
Brandt was arrested Sunday morning after telling first responders that he struck the teen because the pedestrian was threatening him," according to a probable-cause affidavit provided to Fox News Digital on Wednesday morning.
He "stated that the pedestrian called some people and Brandt was afraid they were coming to get him," the document continues. "Brandt admitted to State Radio that he hit the pedestrian and that the pedestrian was part of a Republican extremist group."
North Dakota Highway Patrol on Sunday reported that there was a "street dance" on Jones Street near Hohneck Street in McHenry when Brandt struck Ellingson and then fled the scene.
Ellingson was rushed to a local hospital with serious injuries where he died. Brandt’s and Ellingson’s families both showed up at the scene shortly after police arrived, court records show.
Ellingson’s parents said they knew Brandt but didn't believe the teen did. His mother described how she was on her way to pick up her son from McHenry when he called her and said "that ‘he’ or ‘they’ were chasing him." She could no longer reach him after that.

"Brandt admitted to striking the pedestrian with his car because he had a political argument with the pedestrian and believed the pedestrian was calling people to come get him," the court document continues. "Brandt admitted to leaving the scene of the incident and returning shortly after where he called 911."
A breathalyzer test later showed that Brandt’s blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit of 0.08.

Ok,I have a couple of what should be simple questions for you ND'ers.
Since I have read here the population of that county is less than the number of students in the local High School where I live,EVERYBODY has to know EVERYBODY. Even if he is someone's relative from out of state who just moved there in the last couple of years,lots of people have to know him,or know who he works for and some of the people he works with.
1: WHO is this guy related to? I know what life is like and how deals are cut in rural areas,and NOBODY who isn't related to someone important gets deals like that on a homicide. NOBODY.
2:Where did he grow up and where did he live before moving to ND? NOBODY moves to a state like ND unless they have connections there that can hook them up with a good job. It is freezing ass cold there,and even labor jobs are hard to find in the winter,never mind steady jobs with pay good enough to convince someone to move there. And you just KNOW this guy is the product of some big city because no one who grew up in a rural community thinks like him. Or would have any reason to move to ND.
No insult intended to those of you who do live there,but ND is NOT a state people just pick at random to move to,and it damn sure ain't for the warm weather and easy living.
SOMEBODY knows this goober's background and local connections. Figure out who this is and things will start to fall into place. He IS related to someone politically connected and powerful,or he wouldn't be getting treated with kid gloves.
Just the simple fact that he was immediately released on a 50 grand bail just flat blows MY mind.

My theory is that as the investigation goes on, he will probably be charged differently. I hope that there were witnesses at the street dance who heard the argument and heard any threats that may have ensued.
As far as who he’s related to or how he ended up here, I believe I read that he graduated from one of the local schools. Possibly he’s lived here all his life, especially if he’s involved in agriculture. I’m not aware of any connection to the judge or the county attorney.
And yes, we do have our fair share of liberals. Homegrown libs.

AP report on slain North Dakota teen omits alleged assailant thought victim was 'Republican extremist'
Court documents show Shannon Brandt told law enforcement he believed teen victim was part of a 'Republican extremist group'
By Gabriel Hays | Fox News
An Associated Press report on the killing of a North Dakota teen by a drunk 41-year-old man over a "political argument" declined to note the alleged assailant reportedly thought the victim was part of a "Republican extremist group."
The Wednesday report from The Associated Press stated, "A driver charged with fatally striking a teenager in North Dakota allegedly told investigators he purposely hit the teen with his SUV after they had a political argument, according to court documents.".
Fox News Digital reported, "Court documents said he told a 911 dispatcher the teen was part of a Republican ‘extremist group’ and was calling people to go after him following an unspecified political argument."

North Dakota community members describe Cayler Ellingson as an 'exceptional child' with bright future ahead
Cayler Ellingson died on Sept. 18 after Shannon Brandt allegedly used an SUV to hit him, police say
By Adam Sabes | Fox News
Community members in North Dakota are reeling over the death of 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson, and say that he was an "exceptional child" with a bright future ahead of him.
Shannon Brandt, 41, admitted to mowing down Ellingson in the early morning hours on Sept. 18 in a 911 call made after the incident, according to an affidavit. The two were at a local bar's street dance in McHenry, North Dakota, before the incident happened, and Brandt alleged that he got into a "political argument" with Ellingson, who he alleged was part of a "Republican extremist group." North Dakota officials have said that neither of Brandt's allegations are true.
Ellingson was taken to a local hospital with severe injuries, but he later died. Brandt also alleged that Ellingson was threatening him, according to the affidavit.
The 18-year-old called his mother before Brandt used an SUV to hit him, according to an affidavit, and told her that "'he" or ‘they’ were chasing him." The mother told her son that she was "on her way to get him" prior to that call.
A person who was close with Ellingson and his family, who chose to remain anonymous when speaking with Fox News Digital, says that the 18-year-old was an "exceptional child" with a bright future ahead of him that was tragically cut short.
Ellingson graduated from Carrington High School in the spring of 2022 and recently began studying to be an ultrasound technician. The high school held a moment of silence for Ellingson on Friday night during its homecoming football game.
One person who was close with the Ellingson family said that the 18-year-old was "absolutely not" a Republican "extremist," as Brandt alleged, and said he was an "all-around great kid."
Another person also said Ellingson was a "good kid" and said that the incident has shaken the community.

If equal protection applied, the driver would be getting no bail, two life sentences, plus 417 years. But then Democrats have been opposing equal protection for the last 186 years.

ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN Still Burying Political Murder of Republican Teen

September 27th, 2022 11:43 AM
Over 100 people gathered in McHenry, North Dakota on Monday to mourn the loss of teenager Cayler Ellingson who was murdered because his alleged killer thought he was a “Republican extremist.” But you likely wouldn’t know about the left-wing political violence if you watched ABC, CBS, NBC or MSNBC. These networks and cable channels have buried what would be a huge story if only the man who hit the teen was a conservative, a Republican, or a pro-life activist.
In contrast to these liberal outlets, Fox News Channel and Newsmax have covered all the details of the story. ...
Since September 18, the morning and evening shows on the networks, as well as MSNBC have been silent on the act of political violence. CNN covered it briefly on Friday's New Day for one minute and 45 seconds. According to a search of CNN.com, the online version of the liberal cable network allowed just one story. CNN.com writer Andy Rose referenced the "specifics of the alleged argument." ...

Of course; because they're no longer journalists, they're left-wing agitprop outfits.

Some may be,but there are probably others who just need the job,and let's face it,if you get fired from one leftist news PROPAGANDA source,you ain't never getting another journalism job.

As a journalism major, it boils my blood what’s happened to journalism. America deserves better than this. You have to read the foreign press to see what real, down the line reporting looks like.
It’s more than just a shame, it’s a looming danger to America’s internal security. It’s mucking up the whole Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness thing.

Democrats need to stop urging political violence
By Karol Markowicz
September 25, 2022 6:30pm UpdatedCayler Ellingson was killed last week in North Dakota after another man, Shannon Brandt, 41, hit him with his SUV. Ellingson was 18 years old.
Brandt was convinced the teenager was affiliated with a “Republican extremist group.” No evidence exists for this claim. Footage of Brandt’s bail hearing shows him seeming confused that he may suffer for his actions.
It comes right from the top. The president of the United States, supported by a fan-girl media, spouts irresponsible rhetoric that led to Ellingson’s death.
Earlier this month, President Joe Biden gave a fiery speech about the threats our country faces from voters who dare to disagree with him. Red background, clenched fists, the president shouted into the microphone that America’s at an “inflection point” because “MAGA Republicans” “do not respect the Constitution.” “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” he said.
The very foundation of our republic! Our country is at risk! The message Biden sent to unstable people like Brandt is that it’s reasonable to get rid of those who threaten our nation. How can anyone not defend his country? ...

But no so called "Hate Crime" charge, even though Brant called him, quoting the famous uniter Joe Biden, "a Republican Extremist".

“Doctors reported that the nature and manner of Ellingson’s injuries showed that he was on the ground when he received them
Doctors indicated that this meant that the injuries weren’t caused by being hit by Brandt’s vehicle — they were caused by being run over”

How much did they up his bail? Typically, when new charges are filed, a suspect out on bail is re-arrested and charged anew. How much is his bail for murder?

If it's like the western part of the State, it'd be 500K-1,000,000.
Not sure about the east side.
Edited to note, it is $1,000,000.00: Go to ...

The kid was likely running and fell when he got run over.
