Suspect Admits to Fatally Plowing Car into Republican Teen in ‘Politically Motivated’ Attack

A suspect accused of fatally plowing a car into a Republican teen in North Dakota over the weekend confessed on Monday to the attack, which he confirmed was “politically motivated.”

Shannon Brandt, a 41-year-old male, allegedly ran over 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson with his car after the pair had an altercation of a political nature at a street festival. …  The driver reported the crime himself, informing police that the victim was affiliated with a “Republican extremist group” and intended to target him after the two had a political disagreement.

Huh. I wonder what might have happened in recent weeks that could have radicalized Mr. Brandt and, through the power of “Stochastic Terrorism,” turned him into a murderer?

So YouTube recommended the new trailer for the movie “5-25-77:”

It’s a “coming of age” film about a kid who wants to make movies, set around the time of the release of the original Star Wars. Shrug, ok, another movie about movie makers. But a comment made me look this up on Wikipedia, and lo and behold, there IS something rather unique about the film:

Johnson began funding the project in 2001 and filming took place from 2004 to 2006. Additional shots and special effects were filmed in 2015, 2016, and over the next six years, making the films production span a total of 18 years.

Great googaly moogaly!

I liked the original version with Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. But I guess the Chinese felt they needed their own version…

Looks like the fire was mostly external materials. I bet that smoke would do no end of no good to anyone downwind of it.

The school? About to be sued. Family of the bully? Hopefully to be sued into permanent poverty. The bully? Sadly little that can be done, given his juvenile status. But hopefully the internet will remember him when he’s an adult and wants an actual job. Would *you* hire him?

If nothing else, keep this video in mind when deciding on where to permit your kids to be schooled. If something like this happens at a school near you and the perp *isn’t* expelled, make sure your kids don’t go there.

 

Bonus round:

A wholly remarkable shooting caught on camera by a bystander. A crazed guy was shot at point blank range by a cop *twelve* times in the chest before he went down. So, yeah, I’m keeping my standard capacity mags, thanks.
