Man admits to killing teen ("part of a Republican extremist group") after political dispute in Foster Co., court docs allege
Valley News Live ^ | 9/19/2022

A community is mourning the loss of an 18-year-old man from Grace City, North Dakota, as investigators look into what lead up to a deadly crash. Foster County Deputies were called to a hit-and-run that happened in an alleyway near Johnston Street and Jones Avenue in McHenry, ND.

Court documents say at 2:35 Sunday morning, 41-year-old Shannon Brandt called 911 to report that he had hit a pedestrian because he was threatening him. Brandt told State Radio that the pedestrian was part of a Republican extremist group and that he was afraid they were “coming to get him.” The pedestrian has been identified in a GoFundMe page as 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson.

After visiting the scene where the incident happened, deputies went to Brandt’s house in Glenfield, ND, which is about 12 minutes from the crash scene. Brandt admitted to consuming alcohol before the incident, and stated he hit Ellingson with his car because he had a political argument with him. Brandt also admitted to deputies that he initially left the crash scene, then returned to call 911, but left again before deputies could arrive.

Court documents say just before the crash, Ellingson called his mom and asked if they knew who Brandt was. She said yes, and told her son she was on her way to pick him up. A short time later, court documents say Ellingson called his mom again to say that “he” or “they” were chasing him. It was after the second call that Ellingson could not be reached again.

Ellingson was pronounced dead at a Carrington Hospital. Brandt has been charged with criminal vehicular homicide and DUI. Court records show a judge set bail at $50,000.

They could just as well write a headline, “Man is Killed in Deadly Clash Involving Republican Extremist” without mentioning the leftist killed the “extremist.”

One of the time bombs that Brandon has set.

What “Republican Extremist Group” is the victim alleged to be associated with? And what qualifies as an “association”?

I suspect the victim simply did not agree with thim.

Typical of incoherent garbage contemporary journalism.

Well, proper grammar is racist.

Leaving the scene of a DUI where there’s a dead guy is 50 thousand bail out? Must be nice.

Brandt told State Radio that the pedestrian was part of a Republican extremist group and that he was afraid they were “coming to get him.”

What a load of total nonsense.
Yet another FBI operations against probable President Trump supporters? Very likely.

Leftist felt this was his duty, after SloJoe calling out all of the ultra MAGA extremists, being “enemies of the state”.

In some places, leftist would be exonerated, based on “self defense”.

Congratulations to the author of this story. The masterful way in which she twists logic to paint the victim as potentially being at fault and hinting the drunk driver might just deserve a little pity because he did call 911 after leaving the scene is quite ingenious. After all, anyone belonging to a right-wing extremist group deserves to be run over, correct?

There is no “Republican extremist” here.
There is merely a teenage boy going for a walk, murdered by a probably Dementia Joe fanatic.

Joe Biden has blood on his hands.

His creepy “Republicans are fascist” speech was a call to arms for nutjobs like this.

Yeah, that was my point how the media twists things.

Sounds like a basic drunk driving hit and run and the driver made up some story about Republican Extremist group to explain why he ran over a pedestrian while he was under the influence.

Sounds premeditated to me. Throw the book at him.

Alleged Right Wing extremist, right now we have the word of a left wing drunken loser who is trying to get out of a murder charge by calling it “self defense”

For all we know this kid chanted “let’s go Brandon” and the little drunk snowflake took it as a “right wing extremist” threat and using this as an excuse for premeditated murder with a vehicle.

I read a similar story about it last night. One guy killed another because of politics. Should have known it was a leftist killer because of the way the demented writer obfuscated everything.
