Boy, howdy. That's some kinda threatening scary Republican.
[American Thinker}If you search for the name Cayler Ellingson, you’ll get a handful of local stories out of North Dakota about the 18-year-old’s death in what was manifestly a hate crime. What you won’t find is any national coverage. Certainly, there’s none as of the time of this writing. Slowly, though, conservative outlets, including Fox (as of late last night) are picking up on the story. The reason for the mainstream media’s silence is because, at least as of now, the known facts indicate that this hate crime came about because the victim was White and conservative.
According to a local news report about Ellingson’s murder, Shannon Brandt, a 41-year-old White man called the police at 2:35 a.m. to report that he’d hit a pedestrian who was threatening him. He also admitted that he was driving drunk. Later, when speaking to a radio station, Brandt claimed that Ellingson belonged to an unidentified Republican extremist organization. Brandt further claimed that he acted in self-defense because he was afraid members of that group were "coming to get him." In other words, Brandt has his defense in order.
Ellingson, of course, cannot defend himself. However, he was able to provide his mother with some real-time statements about what was happening:
Court documents say just before the crash, Ellingson called his mom and asked if they knew who Brandt was. She said yes, and told her son she was on her way to pick him up. A short time later, court documents say Ellingson called his mom again to say that "he" or "they" were chasing him. It was after the second call that Ellingson could not be reached again.
