FFS. One young man dead, and this guy with a family going to go to prison.
Was this inspired by Biden's Nuremberg speech that desecrated Independence Hall?
A 41-year-old North Dakota man has admitted to intentionally running over and killing a teenager, claiming that it was because he was involved with a “Republican extremist group.”
The incident took place at approximately 2:30 a.m. on September 18, in McHenry.
In the moments before his death, Cayler Ellingson, 18, called his mother for help because Shannon Brandt, 41, was chasing him in his SUV. Ellingson was on foot after leaving a street dance that he had just attended.
The teenager asked his mother if she knew the man, which she did, but she does not believe that her son knew him, according to a report from the Grand Forks Herald.
By the time the mother arrived at the scene, Ellingson had been killed.
Brandt had called 9-1-1 and confessed that he intentionally ran over Ellingson. He told the police that they had got into an argument and that the teenager was part of a “Republican extremist group.”
According to law enforcement, Brandt was drunk at the time of the killing.

On Monday, Brandt was charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a deadly accident. The police department told the paper that “more serious” charges may be added later.
The judge ordered Brandt held on $50,000 bail, which he objected to — citing his house, job, and family.
“I have a job, a life and a house and things I don’t want to see go by the wayside — family that are very important to me,” Brandt said during the hearing.
If convicted, Brandt faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a likely minimum of ten, due to a prior DUI conviction.
