Man accused of killing someone for political reasons gets low bond

 FoxNews:

Shannon Brandt, who is accused of fatally hitting 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson with an SUV, is not under house arrest and has no curfew after posting a $50,000 bond, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Brandt, 41, was released from jail after posting a $50,000 bond on Sept. 20 after police say he fatally hit Ellington with an SUV during the early morning hours of Sept. 18 following a street dance at a local bar in McHenry, North Dakota.

The incident happened around 2:35 a.m. on Sept. 18, court documents show, stating that Brandt originally fled the scene but later called 911 and told the operator that he hit Ellingson because he believed that the teenager was part of a "Republican extremist group," adding that he had a "political argument" with Ellingson. Brandt also alleged that Ellingson was calling other people to come "get him."

Ellingson was left with serious injuries and taken to a local hospital where he later died.

Vehicular homicide is a crime that should not allow the perp to be free to drive around.
