41-Year-Old Man Deliberately Runs Down and Murders 18-Year-Old Teen Because <i>He Didn't Like His Political Opinions, Called Him a "Republican Extremist" Like He Heard Biden Call His Political Enemies</i>

41-Year-Old Man Deliberately Runs Down and Murders 18-Year-Old Teen Because He Didn't Like His Political Opinions, Called Him a "Republican Extremist" Like He Heard Biden Call His Political Enemies

Via SMOD, Biden's National Incitement to Murder bears fruit.

Illegitimate Regime Figurehead Biden calling for stochastic terrorism
against his political enemies, on September 1.

McHENRY, N.D. -- According to court papers, it was not an accident but apparently a politically motivated attack.
...
Prosecutors allege moments before he was killed, 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson called his mom to come rescue him because 41-year-old Shannon Brandt was chasing him in the city of McHenry, where the street dance had just wrapped up.
By the time she could get there, her son was dead.
Brandt was officially charged Monday with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a deadly accident.

"He was the one who called 911 to report the crash," said North Dakota Highway Patrol Capt. Bryan Niewind.
Court papers show Brandt called 911 around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and told the 911 dispatcher that he just hit Ellingson, claiming the teen was part of a Republican extremist group and was calling people to come get Brandt after a political argument.
...
Police say Brandt was drunk when he hit and killed Ellingson with his SUV.
...
A judge ordered Brandt held on $50,000, which he objected, saying he's not a flight risk.
"I have a job, a life and a house and things I don't want to see go by the wayside -- family that are very important to me," Brandt told the judge.

You will not hear a thing about this from the national propaganda media, despite this being a real, documented politically-motivated "hate" murder of a teenager.

You know why.

Meanwhile, CNN's noxious leftist John Avlon admits that maybe, just maybe, there was a bit of a "rush to judgment" by the media in the BYU "racist heckling" hoax.

The CNN anchor noted the story jumped to the front of the "outrage Olympics" and his new segment was to update the "initial official version of the story once more facts come in." He added at one point that CNN was one of many networks to jump on the initial allegations, even inviting Richardson's family on-air.
"Healthy skepticism is always a virtue, but this doesn't read like a coverup. Instead, it feels like there was a rush to judgment because of a well-intentioned impulse to believe the Duke player's accusations," he said.

It's not "well-intentioned." It's driven by a mad rush to dunk on the media's political enemies, which is the same impulse driving every single thing they do now.

Exit Question: Will the FBI investigate this, and categorize this, as Domestic Violent Extremism, committed by the left wing?

Exit Answer: No.

14 Democrats continue to look for right wing violence, while having a stranglehold on ther politically charged murder industry.

Hopefully someone like Tucker does a segment on this, otherwise it'll be ignored, even by the "conservatives" at Fox. He needs to let everyone know that Biden's words are again causing violence (granted liberals who see this will just cheer the murderer on, since they find this acceptable)

This story has enraged me for lots of reasons. Gratefully BYU and their conference have finally and definitively rejected the narrative.

Also really grateful BYU invested heavily into really, really good audio/visual--they use ESPN quality stuff. Any other school would have ended up crucifying the kid because there would have been no way to prove the Duke player wrong.

Part of it is simply "it works". For a certain segment of the population, a BYU fan was yelling colonizzer (except he didn't yell colonizzer) at that poor, pretty black Duke volleyball player. They didn't get the rest of the memo, where no mics at the event caught it, and literally not one single attendee said they heard it when interviewed.

That second part actually surprised me, because usually, you can find one person that will verify the grays came down through the roof, after the lasers stopped, and called that girl a colonizzer. But nope, not this time.

I'm pretty sure, as crazy as this sounds, the media is still in the "figuring out our powers" portion of the mutant super-hero movie.

103 Guardian: Leaked Plans for a Global Carbon Tax

Some of the world’s most vulnerable countries have prepared a paper, seen by the Guardian, for discussion this week at the UN general assembly. It shows that poor countries are preparing to ask for a “climate-related and justice-based” global tax, as a way of funding payments for loss and damage suffered by the developing world.

The funds could be raised by a global carbon tax, a tax on airline travel, a levy on the heavily polluting and carbon-intensive bunker fuels used by ships, adding taxes to fossil fuel extraction, or a tax on financial transactions.

... this certainly explains the re-emergence of the Clinton Global Initiative .. after the FBI TAC Teams collected all the Whistleblower evidence on the Clinton Foundation

I mean, well-intentioned or not is irrelevant. Saying "he meant well" doesn't change the actions and the consequences at all. All those Nazis meant well also: they thought they were building a better future for humanity and fixing the world's problems. They weren't doing evil just to be evil, they thought they were the heroes of the story. Their intentions were meaningless; what they did and why matters.

Here's what I mean: they did these evil things deliberately based on an evil, satanic philosophy; the why wasn't "I meant well" but "I believe insane evil nonsense"

173 Democrat Iowa Senate Candidate Mike Franken was accused of assault by his former campaign manager Kimberley Strope-Boggus.

Fraken is running against GOP candidate U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley in the midterm election.

The report accuses Franken of “unwanted advances, grabbing her, and kissing her on the mouth without consent.”

HOMICIDE
12.1-16-01. Murder.
1. A person is guilty of murder, a class AA felony, if the person:
a. Intentionally or knowingly causes the death of another human being;
b. Causes the death of another human being under circumstances manifesting
extreme indifference to the value of human life

240 Oregon fans were chanting "eff the Mormons" during a football game. Clearly caught on video. Even Utah's governor weighed in on social media: "religious bigotry alive and celebrated in Oregon." The school issued a apology.

So many people in comments I read about the eff the Mormons incident said the chant was fair play because of the racial slur BYU fans threw at the volleyball player. This is days after the slur hoax was clearly refuted and exposed as a hoax.

How many people will forever think of BYU connected to this hoax, and that it is a racist school, despite being proven untrue? That is the power the media still has. They can shape a hoax narrative, and then when it's proven false, do so little to walk it back, whether by lazinesssnor by design, that it remains truth to many.

It is. They get that from Marcuse, in a totally warped view of what "tolerance" accomplishes.

"Tolerance" always accomplishes a blunting of the effect of a social goal, because you tolerate variances and hindrances as part of the goal for social cooperation.

But "tolerance" as a social goal is not allowed to be blunted in the same way. And so because tolerance toward "the intolerant" (or whomever we name "intolerant") blunts the effect of the implementation of tolerance, and so that is rightly seen as a hindrance, and wrongly disallowed to increase "tolerance" (which is not too tolerant by the time any goal could be deemed "reached").

I seem to recall that one of Pelosi's former aids became an exec at the ACLU (and then became Bernie's campaign manager for 2020 election), which is when it really started aligning with the Democrat agenda. It's always been a radical organization, but it has transitioned into just another arm of the DNC to attack their foes.

Not everything, but a good part, of this regimes messaging and decisions and policies, really are based on 1930s America and Germany.

And yeah, I get why some here "don't get it". Because they don't want to. But you can see the Reichstag Fires every few weeks. The SA are BLM and Antifa. The Biden bunch, meanwhile, sees themselves as FDR, trying to rouse a nation to action that it really doesn't want to get involved in. Instead of Zeros and Kates over Pearl Harbor, its Covid and Climate Change and whatever else. But its the same idea. And it plays well with the "WW II got us out of the Depression" bunch.

397 I don't that says what the headline claims (perhaps he implies it, but does not say it directly). He does not admit that is why he ran him down. The kid was crossing the street ...

Seems to me he admitted it.

Brandt confessed to a 911 dispatcher and police that he killed 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson due to a political dispute.

Court papers show Brandt called 911 around 2:30 a.m. Sunday and told the 911 dispatcher that he just hit Ellingson, claiming the teen was part of a Republican extremist group and was calling people to come get Brandt after a political argument.

409 See Marcuse argued that after expanding the presence of radicals in the market square through a "free speech" push, they would need to curtail the free speech of conservatives.

So shoving Nazism in people's faces allowed people to confront their ambivalence, and slowly could be used to open the conversation "maybe it's better that we do not tolerate Nazis". And once this rhetoric gained foothold it was just a matter of spreading that label wider and wider.

If Skokie had not let the Nazis march, it would have been a little more out-of-sight, out-of-mind. And people wouldn't have to be confronted with how much they hated some free expression.

No, the ACLU helped keep speech open until the tables could be turned, just like Marcuse had advocated. And now, because we take away from the progressives "quality of life", the voice of dissenters can be suppressed.

There's a reason the McCarthy hearings were so vilified. Some innocent people absolutely got named, for sure, and that was wrong and those people could never be made whole again and are tragedies every one. A lot of Communists - some in high places - got exposed as well.

434 Dinner meeting last night with Doris Kearns Goodwin as the speaker - I expected and got the Lincoln and FDR tongue bath, but I was quite surprised to hear her all but proclaim LBJ a demi-god. Seems she interned with him and then followed him around after he was exiled to help him with his memoirs. Claimed she and her husband were typical anti war college kids of the era as well. The audience was old liberal money so they were nodding in agreement as she hailed his civil rights and Great Society achievements as "washing out the stain" of the war. LBJ was a racist, scheming politician - if the Dems can redeem that sumbitch, anything can happen.

Mayor Eric Adams is asking all municipal agencies to cut spending over the next four years in a belt-tightening measure he said is intended to address looming budget deficits related to growing labor costs but which could strain the delivery of key city services.

he just says he hit him ... not that it was intentional. He had to flee out of fear of others that might come (bad excuse, but maybe that was his thinking). He could still claim he hit him because he was in the street, maybe even obstructing him, in front of him, he couldn't stop in time? (again lame, but) I just don't see a direct confession.

You don’t want him around if you’re wearing short pants if you know what I mean. A word of warning though: If he does lay into you, it’s best to just let him finish.

479 Communist vs Nazi economics?

They are both Socialist. Major difference was the Commies first killed all the owners and managers, then wondered why nothing got made? The Nazis told the owners and managers were still in charge, but if they did not absolutely obey the Nazis, then they would be shot.

489 The Red Speech should be infamous in political history and the death of a political party but instead its all but forgotten now,

Fun Fact - the louder Hitler got, the more applause he received. The speeches are only panned now because he lost. Such is how things work.

In many ways, shit like Game of Thrones hits closer to the mark. "Go kill those miserable bastards" really moves the masses, especially if you throw a few loaves of bread out at the same time. No matter that you're re-enacting the Kama Sutra behind closed doors while keeping the masses living in hovels on mud streets dodging their own shit. Until the bread runs out.

Its largely an exercise in how hard can you push them until they fall down and die, while keeping just enough bread in reserve to keep them going, and occasionally butchering a few as an example to the rest while not destroying the entire herd. A brutal "carrot and stick" real life problem.

It doesn't matter what the sentence is. Those are the programmed trigger words that turn on that "Akshually" part of their brain which immediately says "you must argue NOW".

498 U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger said 47 people have been charged in connection to a $250 million scheme connected to Feeding Our Future. Luger called Tuesday’s announcement the “first wave of charges” and noted three of the 47 are expected to plead guilty in the near future.

They face charges ranging from conspiracy, wire fraud, bribery and money laundering.

“This was a brazen scheme of staggering proportions,” Luger said. “These defendants exploited a program designed to provide nutritious food to needy children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, they prioritized their own greed, stealing more than a quarter of a billion dollars in federal funds to purchase luxury cars, houses, jewelry, and coastal resort property abroad. I commend the work of the skilled investigators and prosecutors who unraveled the lies, deception, and mountains of false documentation to bring this complex case to light.”

I had to see that damn thing in the theater. Walking out some young female person told her friends that she liked it but it would have been better if the boat didn't sink.

R. Groubert is making a good case tht he was the one who spearheaded the Kennedy Plot, imo.
Posted by: garrett at September 20, 2022

In one of Groubert's podcasts, he tells of the moment LBJ returned to the Oval Office on 11/22/63, telling JFK's begrieving secretary she had 30 minutes to pack up her shit and get out. After some pushback by others, LBJ relented and gave her until the next morning. The guy was all heart.

555 I don't understand why people say Godfather II is better than I. It's not.

Posted by: ... at September 20, 2022 02:17 PM (FVAVw)

556 Here's what Titanic was up against that year for Best Picture:

As Good as It Gets
The Full Monty
Good Will Hunting
L.A. Confidential

How, exactly, "the Full Monty" got into that consideration is a matter for some specuation, but As Good As It Gets and LA Confidential were both much better movies than Titanic, I suspect. Good Will Hunting was just crap.

The flashback scenes to Corleone building up the empire were great, and there were some other bits, but yeah the first one was better. Both good though.

568 As Good As it Gets was woke man-feminizing garbage. Just another in a series of Very Special Episode movies where the old white male is only redeemed by becoming a feminist, and taught to be better by non-whites, women, and POC. Sheer bilge.

Shoulda thought of that before you committed a felony, asshole!

582 Meanwhile, over at RedState.com, it seems they've yanked an article about the FBI's possible motives for going after My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.
It's interesting that you can't find the article, which was on their site just days ago and referred to "goofy" Mike Lindell, the big Trump supporter who affirms (correctly) that the 2020 Election was stolen.
This is par for the course at RedState. They hate Trump at that site and grudingly give him credit when they have to do so. But boy oh boy, do they LOVE them some Governor Desantis. If you look at their site, it's basically a campaign site for Desantis. I lose count of the number of glowing articles on Desantis. Just look at their site today and keep scrolling. Can you say Sycophantic?
Understand, I like Desantis just fine but the potshots that RedState writers constantly take at President Trump and vocal supporters like Lindell or Congressman Matt Gaetz (making fun of his physical apperance), plus their attempts to rewrite his huge successes - like when they attempted to credit Mitch McConnell with the overturn of Roe V Wade, instead of DJT - they reveal themselves as nothing more than an Republican Establishment mouthpiece.
