41-Year-Old Shannon Brandt RELEASED on Bond After Killing 18-Year-Old Cayler Ellingson Over Teen’s Conservative Views
Jail confirmed to me that Shannon Brandt, who reportedly confessed to killing a North Dakota teen because the 18yo victim was “part of a Republican extremist group,” posted bond and is back on the streets.

Since his release, it appears Brandt started scrubbing his social media.

North Dakota man free after admitting he mowed down 'Republican' teen over politics, records show
Shannon Brandt posted $50,000 bond after fatally striking Cayler Ellingson with his vehicle following 'political argument' police records show

The North Dakota man who allegedly admitted to fatally striking a teenage pedestrian with his car because the pair had "a political argument" was released from jail on Tuesday after posting $50,000 bond, records show.

Shannon Brandt, 41, spent just days in a Stutsman County Jail on criminal charges related to the death of 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson before he posted his $50,000 and was released, according to county jail records. Brandt’s listed attorney could not be reached by phone and did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s email inquiry.

Brandt, a Glenfield resident, was arrested in the early morning hours of Sunday after he told the state first responders’ radio that "he struck the pedestrian because the pedestrian was threatening him," according to a probable-cause affidavit provided to Fox News Digital on Wednesday morning.

"Brandt stated that the pedestrian called some people and Brandt was afraid they were coming to get him," the document continues. "Brandt admitted to State Radio that he hit the pedestrian and that the pedestrian was part of a Republican extremist group."

North Dakota Highway Patrol reported on Sunday that there was a "street dance" on Jones Street near Hohneck Street in McHenry when Brandt struck Ellingson and then fled the scene.

Ellingson was rushed to a local hospital with serious injuries, but could not be saved.

Brandt’s and Ellingson’s families both showed up at the scene shortly after police arrived, court records show.

Ellingson’s parents later told police they knew Brandt, but they did not believe their son did. Ellingston's mother described how she was on her way to pick up her son from McHenry when he called her and said "that ‘he’ or ‘they’ were chasing him." She could no longer reach him after that.

Investigators later tracked Brandt to his Glenfield home, where they stopped him outside the house, and he began talking, the affidavit states.

Brandt "admitted to consuming alcohol prior to the incident," the records show.

No worries. The victim was a republican extremist, so it was a clean / good kill....... everyone can go home now.

Neither here nor there.
It doesn't pay to antagonize anyone with your opinion. These days people are low on self-control and easily enraged enough to commit violence.

That said, there are some verbally vicious people I'd love to run over with my car about half a dozen times. However, the satisfaction gained is not worth the legal entanglements I'd have to endure.

Just tell them you're a democrat and that you were following bidens marching orders against conservative extremists... that should get you off the hook.

North Dakota official says 'no evidence' supports suspect's claim teen was Republican 'extremist'​


A North Dakota official said that there's "no evidence" supporting Shannon Brandt's claim that 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson was part of a "Republican extremist group" before he allegedly used his car to hit the teenager, who later died.

Brandt, 41, is being charged with criminal vehicular homicide, as well as leaving the scene of a crash involving a death after the incident in the early Sunday morning hours. He was held in the Stutsman County Jail until Tuesday, when he posted a $50,000 bond and was released.

The incident happened after a "street dance" in McHenry, North Dakota and Brandt told state first responders’ radio that he struck the pedestrian with an SUV because the pedestrian was threatening him," a probable-cause affidavit states. The document also states that Brandt fled the scene, but later returned and called 911.
Brandt also thought that Ellingson was part of a "Republican extremist group," and then allegedly hit him, according to the court document.

"There is no evidence to support the claim Brandt made about Ellingson," Niewind said. "This remains an active investigation and as evidence is gathered and reviewed, we will consult with the Foster County State’s Attorney to determine if Brandt’s current charges will remain as currently charged or if additional charges will be brought against him."

Indeed we all do. This will continue and our choices will consequently as well.…:kaid:

....So according to this North Dakota DA murder is just about legal if the victim is a conservative? Is she eventually going to make it a misdemeanor?

Totally a click bait headline.

He is charged with manslaughter.
Which makes sense since a murder charge can only be applied if you had your target pre chosen.


OUTRAGE: North Dakota Man Who Ran Down and Killed 18 Year-Old for Being a Republican Gets Reduced Charge of Manslaughter | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance​


IMG_7876-1.jpg

Back in September of 2022, a man named Shannon Brandt ran down and killed an 18 year-old in North Dakota for being a Republican, then claiming that he believed the victim Cayler Eliingson was an extremist.
Police found no evidence for Brandt’s claims.
Brandt’s charges were recently reduced to manslaughter.
The Associated Press reported:
Reduced charge for man who ran over North Dakota teen
A man accused of intentionally running over an 18-year-old at a street dance in North Dakota had his charges reduced from murder to manslaughter, according to court documents filed Monday…
Brandt was first charged with criminal vehicular homicide but the charge was later upgraded to felony murder. He has also been charged with leaving the scene of a crash that resulted in death.
Foster County State Attorney Kara Brinster was not available Monday afternoon to discuss why the charge was reduced to manslaughter.
KVRR News reports that Brandt has now pleaded guilty to manslaughter:
Shannon Brandt Pleads Guilty To Manslaughter for Running Down Teen in McHenry, ND
The McHenry, North Dakota man accused of running down a teen after a street dance last summer pleads guilty to manslaughter.
A charge of leaving the scene of an accident was dismissed.
42-year-old Shannon Brandt avoids going to trial which was supposed to start on May 30.
He faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced at a later date.
Earlier this month, the prosecutor in the case dropped the charge from murder to manslaughter.
This is not justice.

This is an outrage, and Republicans should be outraged.
