MCHENRY, ND – A 41-year-old man was arrested earlier in September after authorities say he admitted to intentionally hitting and killing an 18-year-old boy with his SUV in an alleyway in McHenry, with court documents showing the suspect was allegedly motivated to kill the teen due to the young victim being a Republican.
Court documents show that 41-year-old Shannon Brandt called 911 at approximately 2:30 a.m. on September 18th, reportedly admitting to the dispatcher that he intentionally hit 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson with his vehicle. Brandt, who’d apparently been intoxicated at the time of the killing, attempted to justify his actions to the 911 dispatcher by claiming Ellingson was part of a “Republican extremist group.”

The fatal incident occurred following a “street dance” that was being held in McHenry, with officials saying the victim was walking on the sidewalk along “Jones Street directly east of Hohneck street,” when Brandt hit him with his vehicle.
Prosecutors say that shortly before Ellingson was killed, the victim called his mother to come help him, reportedly telling her that he was being chased Brandt, while also asking her whether she personally knew the man chasing him.

Apparently, Ellingson’s mother confirmed she personally knew who Brandt was, but informed police she didn’t believe her son was familiar with him prior to the incident that led up to his death.
North Dakota Highway Patrol Captain Bryan Niewind hasn’t delved into too many specifics of the case, telling reporters, “We are still trying to determine what, exactly, transpired at the time of crash and prior to that as well.”
Captain Niewind added, “We do not know of any witnesses. We are still making attempts to interview potential witnesses from the street dance, people that were present prior to the crash happening.”
On September 19th, Brandt was officially charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a deadly accident, which the vehicular homicide charge carries a minimum of 10 years in prison, but no greater than 20 years. Officials say more serious charges could be brought forth as the investigation develops.
Despite the serious nature of the charges, Brandt’s bail was set at only $50,ooo – which the accused killer had the audacity to object to during his hearing, telling the judge, “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.”
Ellingson’s murder comes at a time where Democrats – including Joe Biden – have been asserting that MAGA Republicans pose an existential threat to democracy and are prone to extremist violence – yet, Democrats have been silent on this alleged politically-motivated killing of a young conservative.
According to the deceased victim’s Facebook profile, he’d just graduated high school this past May and started taking Diagnostic Medical Sonography courses in August to become an ultrasound tech. A GoFundMe account has been established to help Ellingson’s family with funeral-related expenses.

Joe Biden’s call for hatred…breeds hatred and violence. He accused “Ultra MAGA” of being violent, when, despite ALL the weaponization of government agencies against Trump, Trump supporters have remained peaceful. But those who support this illegitimate administration have subsidized and encouraged violence across the nation. It is as though they WANT a civil war.
This is going to be resolved peacefully. To engage in a civil war would be the destruction of our country.
Blimey! Dopy, gropy, slimy, ethically grim’n grimy crim pædo Joe Xiden mu§t be gazing into a BLACK MIRRØR whenever his inner demons begin to hi§§’n §pit out self-descriptors wįtch [sic] actually perfectly encapsulate his own darkn€st essence and that of his na°sty cøven masters that comprise the cønniving W€F’n NWØ transhumanist bottom feeding types. . . Lolz’n Pfffft! ☝️🤓
I believe that they DO want a civil war. If that happens, they can declare marshall law and then they can take our weapons, our food stocks and everything we have in the name of national security. If we do not comply, we will be locked in concentration camps and the constitution and bill of rights will not apply
Homicidal psychopaths–whether in group ØR individual form always appear to have inane rationalizations buried in their gory eXplanatory satanic homiletic justifications for any egregious mi§deed wįtch [sic] they ever regularly perpetrate. Although you cannot fiX stupid or just plain bald-faced €VĮL, life in prison and/or stringent €XORCISM just might partially do the trick to curb many a murderous drunken weasel such as Mr. 41, alleged family guy. O My O My. . . Pfffft! 🕷³🆘️³🕷
It seems as though Biden supporters have assumed the dementia he has and it’s killing America.
Why to go joe!!! YOU did this!!!
And you think this is a one of kind thing, it’s only beginning! Biden, the jab and Deep State Medicine is the blame for this!
Perhaps we have found the attributes and political affiliations sof the domestic terrorists the Left and Biden have been talking about.
Most people know that Pelosi conspired to make Jan 6th happen by not allowing the National Guard to be there and making sure there were as few Capitol police as possible on duty. The FBI led the incursion into the protected areas. It had nothing at all to do with Trump. To now be using this as a reason to paint all Republicans as dangerous which has whipped up hatred is WRONG in the extreme.
