A North Dakota man accused of mowing down an 18-year-old with his car because he thought the young man was a “Republican extremist” has pleaded guilty to manslaughter after initially being charged with murder.

Instead of the prospect of life in prison, Shannon Brandt, 42, now faces a maximum sentence of 10 years behind bars in connection with the death of Cayler Ellingson, KVRR-TV reported.

Brandt’s attorney, Mark Friese, told the news station earlier this month that the local prosecutor had dropped the murder charge on her own and that “it was not a part of any plea deal.”

Cayler was 18 years old, was not an extremist according to Highway Patrol, and was beginning training as an ultrasound technician.

He had called his Mom who told him she was on her way to pick him up after a dance. He called his Mom again to report he was being attacked.

Being an extremist would not excuse this murder.

Sounds like a hate crime. Something the left wants so they can go after white Republicans. Should we start on reparations now?

Twitter says the ugly, fat, buck toothed DA is a democrap.
Not sure how reliable the last detail is.

This seems more like an attempt at provocation: Bundy killed Elsington because Bundy thought his target was a “Republican extremist.”

Derek Chauvin got 22 years for doing his job restraining a large angry violent man- who unfortunately died from a drug overdose-

The man in this article INTENTIONALLY MURDERED a kid and only gets 10 years?

Death penalty would be the only thing just. He will be out in 5.

I like to think the real justice will happen in prison for this guy. He’s going to meet some rather unpleasant people that make white supremacists look like choir boys.

Since he’ll be in jail and prison with mostly Republicans, he should refrain from bathrooms and showers.
