Showing Original Post only (View all)Man admits to killing teen after political dispute in Foster Co., court docs allege [View all]
MCHENRY, N.D. (Valley News Live) - A community is mourning the loss of an 18-year-old man from Grace City, North Dakota, as investigators look into what led 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 Brandts 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.

1 of the three hypothesis is correct
1. The guy is mental
2. The guy is a hero
3. The perp is actually a right winger who killed his own and and posed himself as a progressive to frame the movement.

OP
Since you seem to be doing a lot of false equivalencies and hypotheticals...

The drunk killer claimed a defense that has not been borne out by any of the evidence.

Sounds like an open and shut case of MURDER. The guy didn't like the other's viewpoint,

Of course not. The perp acted like a Republican by running over that kid.

EXACTLY A lot of jumping to conclusions in this thread. He could have had an argument
