Should this person get life in jail for intentionally going out and killing a right winger?

Brandt called 9-1-1 and told the dispatcher he just hit Ellingson, claiming the teen was part of a Republican extremist group. He claimed the teen was calling people to come and attack him after a political argument, Inforum reported.

Ellingson was later pronounced dead at a Carrington hospital. Meanwhile, Brandt fled the scene and was arrested at his home in Glenfield, according to KVRR-TV.

Yes

No

What I want to know is if he actually had a political argument with him or if that was just a reason he gave to some how justify the murder. From what I've been hearing, there were no words exchanged to lead the defendant to think of him as a MAGA supporter. So, if he lied and used that reasoning to kill a person, that shows how dangerous the lefts and media's rhetoric has become. If they DID have a political disagreement and he justifies the murder, due to him being a right wing extremist, it shows how dangerous the left's and media's rhetoric has become. The media and left, for years now, are trying to equate simple words as acts of violence but only when it comes to the right. When it comes to the left's violence, they try to justify it. This guy's defense is proof!

[findacure4wokeness]

The Lack of Accountability given to the left have have embolden them into doing some crazy shit.

[slatyb]

@findacure4wokeness Unlike the MAGA-heads driving cars into crowds?

[MCheetah]

If this was a right-winger attacking a Liberal, they'd have given him life in jail, no questions asked, as well as blamed ALL non-liberals, for what he did. But because it's the other way around, they're going to ask to seek forgiveness for him and all.

However, I'd ask people not to use the tragic death of someone, to one-up the other political party. That's just low, even for me. The jury and judge should just treat this like any other heinous murder and not bring BS like "Trump, right-wingers, wokeism, Liberal extremism, etc." into it.

So I voted no. Let the jury decide his fate and the judge decide his punishment. It's not up to me.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I'm sure a guy that would kill a kid with a SUV for losing an argument about politics is probably going to vote for the best thing ever. Just look at my profile picture... this is clown world 2022. ... and this current regime of crazy isn't getting kunt bunted out until 2024 so buckle up buckaroo.

The media causes this crazy... they have normies believing absolute bullshit so that their side wins. The propaganda worked for the Nazis and the Democrats figured that out... welcome to hell. Hide your guns and shoot them in the face when they start trying to get you on that train for the chambers... if you don't... well... hope you like the smell of gas.

[Sixgunsound]

That meets the requirements for murder 1. The people who disagree ought to be ashamed of themselves. Remember, if you create conditions where this sort of thing is ok, you might not like the results.

[findacure4wokeness]

They will cry foul when this starts happening to them.

[Sixgunsound]

@findacure4wokeness naturally, but by establishing precedent they have only their own stupid selves to blame.

[Pot8o]

I'd like to hear this story from a more credible source than Andy Ngô...

But yeah, if you murder a stranger for his political views, then I'm okay with life in prison.

[Agagagagaga]

So use your fat fingers to Google the story and look it up instead of relying on a post from some anonymous person of a retweet from the Twitter of Andy Ngo.

Goddamn. Do you need a protein shake before you look something up? 🤦‍♂️

[Pot8o]

@Agagagagaga Yes, I do, and fix me a sandwich while you're in the kitchen anyway

[DCooper]

I wanna know where Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are... lefties should consider the possibility that guy was let go on a murder charge because of his white privilege !

[BeMuse]

Nope, sounds more like a death penalty case. It was intentional, he did it willingly, he planned it and carried it out deliberately.

[BeMuse]

18 USC § 2331(5)
Domestic Terrorism
(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States; and

[BeMuse]

Dude carried out a planned political assassination with the intent to intimidate the civilian population...

[BeMuse]

Being that it is North Dakota, I suppose the death penalty is off the table unless there is some sort of tie back to a foreign nation via ANTIFA funding or something like that... If that is the case, which it very well might be treason is on the table... If not there is always:

§ 22–3153. Acts of terrorism; penalties.
(a) A person who commits first degree murder that constitutes an act of terrorism shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment for life without the possibility of release.

[Vendela]

What does being a right winger have to do with anything? He went out and killed a person. Enough said. Yes, he should be in jail if it wasn't in self defense.

[Lookingforthetruth]

which was motivated by said persons political affiliation and goaded when Biden made a speech a few weeks back of how all republicans are a threat.

[slatyb]

I don't know. That's why we have trials and sentencing hearings.

[KrakenAttackin]

Is this not the very definition of 'hate crime"?

[exitseven]

There must be a trial and this guy needs to be charged with murder He has to do some serious time.

[findacure4wokeness]

It's funny how your an Extremist if you want to live away from people that hate and want to kill you these days.

[Googlemyahoo]

Right wing extremists to the lunatic left is anyone who disagrees with them.

[joeldalton]

If convicted, yes. And Biden needs to be held accountable for his words encouraging this violence.

[UCrayCray]

@joeldalton
If you believe that Biden encouraged this by his words, then you also believe Trump did the same on Jan. 6th?

[joeldalton]

@UCrayCray The only person killed on Jan 6 was a protestor killed by an out of control capitol cop.

[UCrayCray]

@joeldalton
So words that encourage violence only count if someone ends up dead?

[joeldalton]

@UCrayCray Are you claiming that Joe Biden’s words didn’t encourage this guy , now? Is that what you’re trying to do with your whataboutism?

[UCrayCray]

Nope. Im asking if you are applying the same standard to all words that encourage violence.

[joeldalton]

@UCrayCray I’m asking you if you think Biden’s violent rhetoric had something to do with this asshole running over a teenager. It’s simple.

[UCrayCray]

@joeldalton
Lmao.
I asked you a question, you evaded. I asked you another question, you evaded again by answering a question with a question. I answered your question, then asked another, that you again evaded, and proceed to act like I owe you an explanation?
Get the fuck outta here

[joeldalton]

@UCrayCray Right. And you never confirmed or denied my original answer. So actually you can fuck off. Stupid bitch.

[Lookingforthetruth]

@UCrayCray Trump told protestors to protest peacefully and even made an attempt to quell the riots when it got out of hand. Twitter actively blocked his ability to communicate during that time.

[UCrayCray]

Was I supposed to confirm or deny your original answer? That was never the point. I only asked a simple question about your original answer.
You didn’t like the question, wanted to avoid it, and you’re just pissy the I won’t let you.
Its fine. We already have an answer anyway.
👋

[UCrayCray]

@Lookingforthetruth.
Yes, yes. I know. He used the word peacefully once. Proves he’s a swell guy.

[TacosRAwesome]

He should get whatever prison sentence is appropriate for his crime.

[John_Doesnt]

He should be given a space medal and put in the space patrol program.

[Snakeyes7]

He should get whatever the charge typically is for committing vehicular homicide.

[OddBeMe]

I dont know the details. The news is just hearing from the survivor’s side, so I’ll wait.

[normalice]

He should get a trial like everyone else.

[Dargil]

He should get the needle.

[AngryCarl]

That is for the courts to decide.

[Anonymous]

He should be given the medal of honor.
