Some of the best reporting on this comes from Jack McCraken at Justice Report. But the story is so crazy I had to cover it myself.
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.”

Shannon Brandt
There are some men named Shannon, so it’s very much possible that this guy is just a regular guy sexually. However, it is also possible that this is one of these insane trannies, pre-op, and he was assblasted at Cayler Ellingson for penetrating the fragile Reddit-tier beliefs that he has about being a pansexual trans-demon or whatever. Or he could be a run of the mill antifa, it’s hard to say without any more information.
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.
A breathalyzer test later showed that Brandt’s blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit of 0.08.
Brandt was ultimately charged with criminal vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash involving a death. Jail records show Brandt was charged with driving under the influence, though a criminal complaint did not include the charge.
I’m getting sick of making this point, but why are there no terrorism charges? This man clearly attacked Ellingson for his beliefs, of that there is no question. He repeatedly said as much himself, and while I have no idea what a “Republican Extremist” is, it’s probably fairly close to our politics.

Anyone remember James Fields, the Charlottesville protester who got into a car accident, and was denied bail before being ultimately charged with 419 years in prison.
Shannon Brandt intentionally drove into a young White Man because he had ostensibly “right-wing,” political beliefs. Surely the Republican Party is going to make a big deal out of this and never stop talking about this. After all, I’m informed that the Republican Party is a very serious institution that’s fighting really hard against those DEMONrats. So they would never pass up an opportunity to –
Based on the facts reported in the media on the case of Shannon Brandt murdering Caylor Ellingson, this is a clear cut case of political terrorism and a hate crime.
The entire Republican party apparatus, politicians and pundits should be laying blame as high up the political chain as they can, from the media to the President and calling congressional inquiries and demanding federal charges.
They can do this and make it entirely partisan and never mention race, and they still aren’t doing it!
Nothing shows more clearly that the Republican party simply has no intention of ever actually fighting.
The Republican Party exists purely to make sure that Whitey always loses on racial issues, and normal people always lose on social issues. Beyond that they’ll happily take credit for foreign wars for Israel and billionaires getting everything they want. But if they don’t have the vote, there will always be Joe Manchin types to somehow, someway, give big corporations everything they want even with a DEMONrat congress.
A Young Republican type getting run over by some antifa is not a concern of theirs. If Lindsay Graham got run over by the same person, they’d snap their fingers and get terrorism charges and maybe even the death penalty. But these people are a totally different class of people than you, I, or Cayler Ellingson, so rest assured, nothing will be done.
And in the same way that I, an irreligious man, did more for Christians having their churches burned to the ground than the “Christian Values Conservatives,” the NJP would do more for these non-Washington Republican types than the actual Republican Party. As Enoch points out, Cuckservative radio hosts are already saying “anger is the real enemy,” and “this is why you shouldn’t get into arguments.”
I wasn’t there so I don’t know what happened — just one more episode in the freak show that America has become.
>This man clearly attacked Ellingson for his beliefs
What about this part:
>“he struck the pedestrian because the pedestrian was threatening him,”
Would he have run him down had he not felt threatened?
Shannon wasn’t threatened AT ALL. And you can’t be “threatened” by a skinny young man who is WALKING AWAY FROM YOU while you are in a huge SUV. . What’s wrong with YOU?
>Shannon wasn’t threatened AT ALL.
How do you know? — were you there? — did you see what happened? — not that I think that would necessarily be an excuse/justification.
>What’s wrong with YOU?
Nothing — I just don’t take seriously what I see in the media or hear from the cops or prosecutors, about LITERALLY ANYTHING, at least initially — did you believe what the media and the DA said over and over about Kyle Rittenhouse? — about how Chauvin murdered George Floyd? — about the ‘peaceful protests’? — about the ‘jogger’ Arbery case? — did you believe George Zimmerman was a ‘white Hispanic’ who murdered poor widdle Trayvon Martin in cold blood ?
Everything the Right believes about this case has come via reports in mainstream media or from the cops.
Nothing about this case makes sense to me — who runs over someone because of their politics AND FOR NO OTHER REASON? — killing someone like that is bad enough regardless of the reason, especially when done by a white person — a Black who felt he’d been ‘dissed’ I could more readily believe.
>Brandt’s blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit of 0.08.
Get ready for some kind of ‘diminished capacity’ defense.
The GOP is useless scum and Enoch ought to know that by now — very few politicians in America represent anyone, they serve the system.
And ‘hate crime’ laws should not exist — no self-respecting White should accept their existence or advocate their use — they were invented/enacted to intimidate and persecute Whites as their country is being demographically stolen from them, and for no other reason — they will NEVER be used fairly, e.g. to prosecute ‘hate’ against Whites.
Looks like we’ve found one of the cell leaders of the 2-3 man Einsatzgruppen.
I guess your comment is supposed to cryptic, cool — but I have no idea what you’re getting at.
How the fuck is a pedestrian going to threaten somebody sitting in a car without pointing a gun at him?
This guy is most likely the same kind of deranged low status hicklib like the Boomer Berniebro that tried to shoot up the Congressional baseball game or the tranny granny that got himself killed trying to burn down an ICE facility.
>How the fuck is a pedestrian going to threaten somebody …
Do you know who Reginald Denny is? — if not, look him up — none of the Blacks who pulled him from his vehicle (truck) and nearly beat him to death were armed.
Look, I’m not defending this guy — like I said: it’s a weird story — I wasn’t there and did not personally see what happened, and don’t necessarily trust the media — it’s just that I have a hard time believing someone would run another person over just because of the victim’s political beliefs, and for no other reason.
And the fact he was released on a relatively low bond could also indicate there is more to the story.
But maybe there isn’t; we’ll see I suppose — sometimes people react crazily and do bizarre things when they’re drunk

What is the email addresss and postal mailing address of Mr. Brandt? I have a mailing project on my to-do list and I want to get it done today.
Little evidence of political argument before teen’s death in McHenry, ND
Investigators say none of the witnesses they have interviewed support the idea that there was a political argument before authorities say Shannon Brandt struck Cayler Ellingson with his vehicle on Sept. 18 in McHenry, and a family friend who knew the teen said he wasn’t active in politics. … North Dakota Highway Patrol Capt. Bryan Niewind said Friday that authorities have talked to dozens of witnesses and plan to talk to more as they try to get a better picture of exactly what happened before the crash. … “I can’t get into details about what the witnesses are describing to us. But what I can tell you is that this is not political in nature at all,” he said, adding: “There is no evidence to support Brandt’s claim on the 911 call that Mr. Ellingson was a Republican extremist. There is no evidence to support that all through our continued investigation.”
Per the following story Ellingson called his mother during the incident, and his parents know Brandt:
‘No evidence’ that slain North Dakota teen was ‘Republican extremist’: police
Ellingson had called his mother twice during the incident; the first time to ask if she knew who Brandt was, and the second time to warn that “he” or “they” were chasing him, the documents reportedly said. … The parents of the teenage victim told police that they were acquainted with Brandt but didn’t believe that Cayler had met him before the fatal encounter.
