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.
We have been hearing about “ Charlottesville” for several years as the counterbalance to all the killings done by AntiFA and BLM. In Charlottesville, one person was trying to get away from a mob banging on his car and hit a women.
In this instance, a drunk driver in an SUV purposefully hit what seems like a pedestrian due to a political difference. Will this become well known like Charlottesville? I doubt it.
Biden must be happy, his legion of functional morons is starting to act out on his words.
Will ‘The View’ hags be talking about this, in outraged tones?
Nope.
In any truly civilized country, this murderer would be tried, convicted, sentenced to death, and hanged within 30 days of his apprehension.
When Democrats Run Wild!
Bkmk
Stochastic terrorism. Biden did this.
Big burly 41 year old leftwing nut in a car is afraid of an 18 year old kid in braces, walking in an alley?
I still don’t understand why media and police give so much credence to what a perp utters.
Anyone (almost) that has killed someone has progressed far, far below the morality scale of lying. It should just be assumed in most cases they will automatically lie to reduce their charges.
A prime example was the David Camm trial (worth reading about and it happened in my area). The killer was a man named Boney who claimed in investigation he was paid by Camm, a Indiana State Polieman. That’s all it took and the prosecutors were off to the races to hang Camm. Turns out it was a complete fabrication from Boney. Incredibly the police put a lot of faith in “evidence” when they found Camms sweatshirt at Boneys home as proof they had connections—ignoring the obvious possibility Boney stole the sweatshirt from Camm after massacring his entire family.

Seems the guy is known to be mentally unstable.

If I were a judge in this case I would not have allowed bail.
The man had run down and killed a man with his car.
There is just no way to justify that.
