Police in North Dakota said that there's 'no evidence' showing that politics were involved in an incident where a man fatally struck a teenager with his SUV following what he admitted was a 'political argument.'

But H!llary is pretty sure he was a N@zi...
Did they interview the vic?
My goodness, there seems to be a Republican extremist behind every tree.
Yep. Talk about incitement to kill!
NOTHING Donald Trump did on January 6 comes remotely close to the unhinged incitement by FJB.
Yes, that’s true.
What happened to the confession? Where all the news reports untrue?
If the victim called his mother complaining the perp was chasing him in a vehicle then how was this not intentional?
Am I reading this right?
Driver to police: “I ran him over because he’s an extremist MAGA Republican”
Police: “No you didn’t”
I think we are missing the point here. Let’s assume that the decedent was not a MAGA extremist, but just some “innocent” kid, and that the perp ran over him in what was a terrible accident. So....the perp returns to the scene. There is no dispute that he told the cops of the political motivation, rather than just saying it was a terrible accident, and I’m sorry. Apparently, this perp thought it was a factor in mitigation that the victim was a MAGA extremist, and this made it OK.
So...that’s the society we live in. Killing a “MAGA” extremist is ok, and justifies the death, even if the death is accidental.
Thanks Brandon, you Putz.
Interesting how this is being covered differently by the media

The Charlottesville car attack was a white supremacist terrorist attack[12] perpetrated on August 12, 2017, when James Alex Fields, Jr. deliberately drove his car into a crowd of people peacefully protesting the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing one person and injuring 35.[4][13] 20-year-old Fields had previously espoused neo-Nazi and white supremacist beliefs,[7] and drove from Ohio to attend the rally.[14] He was convicted in a state court for the first-degree murder of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, eight counts of malicious wounding, and hit and run, and was sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 419 years in July 2019.[15] He also pled guilty to 29 of 30 federal hate crime charges to avoid the death penalty, which resulted in another life sentence handed down in June 2019.

The police want to downplay any politics even though the perpetrator admitted his motive to police, of course it sounds like he is having serious Mental Health problems and probably hears voices in his head telling him to do things.
Pretty much what I just read.
I hauled gravel through McHenry.
The town cannot have more than 200 people as residents.
Everyone seemed friendly
TDS is not a defense for unlawful killing.
So other than him calling 911 and saying that’s why he did it... there is no evidence. Got it.
What evidence would justify using lethal force against someone who didn’t pose an immediate threat?
Not yet, anyway.
Brandon hears voices telling him what to do, too. But you don’t see him running anyone over, no siree.
Uh, the evidence is the perp’s signed statement admitting the crime, and his specific reason for running over Cayler Ellingson.
He was drunk. Hit the kid and had to come up with some excuse. He just CREATED this story because he thought it would save his bacon. I bet he never even saw this kid before. It was an accident that needed an explanation and, again, they blamed it on Trump.
