Man admits to killing teen after political dispute in Foster Co., court docs allege

22. First I've heard about it

hitting someone with a car is always wrong, no matter who does it or why. He should go to prison, but I refuse to feel guilty about not noticing a single story in the firehose of news.

However, the Left has not been stoking violence for years, also, I've not seen anyone defending this guy's actions or hiring him an expensive lawyer.

Low bail for white dudes is a common occurrence. Republicans constantly walk free after killing people, cops stay on the job if they kill Black people.

I think the guy came up with an excuse after he drunkenly hit someone, in an attempt to get away with it. It's wrong and he should go to prison, but frankly, white men seldom do. Also: do you really think that a North Dakota jury would be moved by this?

McHENRY, N.D. — Evidence gathered against a 41-year-old man accused of killing an 18-year-old man in northeast North Dakota does not support the defendant’s claims that the teenager was a Republican extremist who called people to come after the suspect before the vehicle-pedestrian crash, a state trooper said.

Investigators continue to gather information and statements from witnesses connected to the Sunday, Sept. 18, death of Cayler Ellingson, who was fatally hit by a vehicle after a street dance in McHenry, a town of roughly 60 people about 50 miles north of Jamestown.

Shannon Joseph Brandt, 41, of Glenfield, North Dakota, was charged Monday in Foster County District Court with criminal vehicular homicide and failure to report the crash immediately to law enforcement.

Brandt acknowledged to law enforcement that he drank alcohol before the crash, according to a criminal complaint. Brandt also allegedly left the scene but returned to call 911, the complaint said. He then returned to his home before officers arrived at the crime scene, according to the complaint.
