This happened in South Dakota. A 41 year old (even drunk) is supposed to have better common sense. Older \u2018adults\u2019 are supposed to protect youngsters not kill them over something as stupid as politics. Brandts confession to the police parrots Joe Biden\u2019s recent Der F\u00fchrer speech.\u00a0Ellingson\u2019s mother is reported to have known Brandt but the young man didn\u2019t know him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This developed over some kind of unspecified political argument. Brandt didn\u2019t use a gun, he used a car so I guess gun control is working, oh wait South Dakota is very light on gun control aren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n<p>The information from the <em>New York Post<\/em> is thin but the article is<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/09\/21\/shannon-brandt-killed-cayler-ellingson-18-over-politics-cops\/\"> linked here<\/a>. There are some other equally light stories floating around. They\u2019ll be memory holed by the end of the week, I\u2019m convinced of that. I think there is a lot more to this story than has been reported thus far. I sincerely question if we\u2019ll ever have the whole story.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has said nothing about it yet. Maybe he should try to mumble through some kind of comment. I doubt he will.<\/p>\n<p>After all, a good democrat voter simply took out the \u201ctrash\u201d Biden identified embodied by an 18 year old. This insanity should be laid squarely at the Biden administration&#8217;s feet. Equally culpable is the media who have banged on about this minimal threat of widespread MAGA Fascists lurking in every corner of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Is this where we\u2019re heading? Silencing or killing one group of people who happen to have a different opinion than another group?\u00a0If we fear our neighbors and are unable to speak freely to each other about differing opinions then we are not Americans anymore. \u00a0I don\u2019t know what we are at that point but it\u2019s not a country I want to live in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young man named Cayler Ellingson was run down by a drunken 41 year old over Politics?
