Justin Mohn, a 32-year-old Pennsylvania man, is in police custody after allegedly murdering and decapitating his father, claiming the latter was a “federal employee” and a “traitor.” Before his arrest, Mohn posted a 14-minute video to YouTube in which he displayed his father’s severed head, proclaiming: "This is the head of Mike Mohn, a federal
Another person driven to hate and violence by the republican party when all he needed was solutions from the left.
He sued the feds 4 times, including one time when:
Mohn “alleged that the obligation to make payments on his student loan led to mental anguish, emotional distress, financial strain, lack of savings, and debt, all of which allegedly impacted his quality of life.”

Biden literally tried to forgive a bunch of student loan debt last year, but was blocked by Republicans.
I know there’s no explaining mental illness, but our country is failing people when they’re this misinformed.
I had a lot of problems with the mods on this one. Good luck.
I posted it to News last night, I would have posted it here but I couldn’t find a link where the political angle was clear from the headline alone.
That’s really the trick for politics. You want to be 100% clear that there IS a political angle.
Whoever submitted this one did a good job finding an article with the right headline.
In my case the mod in News deleted a post because they didn’t like the source. Then when I use a new source, he deleted the new post because it’s a duplicate of the old post he deleted. I’m sure they have some circular logic to defend their action.
Early on for this story the sources WERE super bad. Fox News, Daily Mail, New York Post. I struggled to find one myself and finally hit on a local news site:
What the actual fuck. These people are insane and a danger to society. The con movement is truly a cult.
I think it’s time the term “Y’all Queda” comes back.
Someone better find a March Hare to accompany that MAGA hatter.
Idk about you but I never stopped using it.
That and magats are my two favorites
I still like red hatters, but that never caught on
Yeah I don’t think we want to demonize the folks that work at Redhat.
Haha me too, though IBM sure is making it easier :(
Yeehawdists
I’ve never heard this one! Hahahahaha! wow!
Cult 45
“Mohn was arrested near a National Guard training center in Fort Indiantown Gap at around 10:00 PM, approximately an hour before a 911 call was made about 100 miles away by a woman who told operators that she found her husband’s head in their home. Police had been called to the residence earlier, around 7:00 PM when they found Mohn’s headless body after being alerted to the existence of the video.”
Wait so the police show up at 7 PM and find the body. Then leave and come back when the wife found the head. Jesus that is fucked.
Yea what the actual fuck is going on with that police force?
If I were in that district I’d be calling my representative to put pressure on their mayor cuz they just traumatized an innocent women for no reason. Coroner could’ve been there and gone in 4 hours, hooooly shiiiit
To be fair, we don’t know where she found the head. They might have thought he took it with him.
For how much we spend on policing there should be no mistakes.
There can be mistakes. What they need is real accountability when they make them.
hey i think it’s worth pointing out that levittown is basically founded on being whites-only, so it’s hard for me to believe this guy’s dad is a sympathetic victim
Before responding to @HACKthePRISONS attempt to change the subject to blaming the victim of a beheading, look at their post history and draw your own conclusions. I for one appreciate lemmys block function.
i never blamed the victim. this whole post is just poisoning the well (a form of ad hominem attack) that doesn’t belong on lemmy.world nor in this community.
Someone needs to call out the bs. Not for the idiot spouting it, but for anyone else that may come along and be roped in by it.
Likewise, I appreciate sync’s tag function so I can keep track of people like that. Or people that are sane and cool, like you :)
Edit- It allows me to add short text like, idk, “unhinged tankie” or “magat” or “good human!”, etc that appears next to the username on any comment they make.
I dunno I fucking hate racists and am pretty on board for violence, and even i still feel for the victims here.
Like a politician, billionaire, or something, sure ehh whatever.
The dude hacked his dad’s head off. The son is obviously an unhinged, violent, right wing lunatic. The character of the victim is irrelevant. What in the world are you on about, again??
Also, for anyone that doesn’t know, numerous other cities have had wildly discriminatory housing policies in the past against blacks. That is one major reason why generational wealth is typically lower in black families than white ones since home ownership is a major component of generational wealth building.
>numerous other cities have had wildly discriminatory housing policies in the past against blacks
levittown was a secluded suburb. it’s not at all like new york and chicago. it wasn’t that people there were red-lined: it’s that black people weren’t welcome on any street.
>What in the world are you on about, again??
i said: it’s hard for me to believe this guy’s dad is a sympathetic victim.
>The son is obviously an unhinged, violent, right wing lunatic
i thought that went without saying
So was Oregon. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to hold someone living there now responsible for it.
levittown was built in the 1950s.
Yes, and?
According to some other sources this guy’s dad was 68. Even if he moved there the day he turned 18, that wouldn’t have been until two decades later.
you’ll forgive me if i am not immediately sympathetic to a federal employee living in levittown.
Fuck that. The guy was beheaded and your first thought is “he had it coming because the town he lived in used to be racist and he worked for the government”.
I didn’t say he had it coming
You’ll have to forgive me if I’m not immediately sympathetic to people whose first reaction to hearing that their son beheaded them is to find a way to say they deserved it.
i didn’t say they deserved it. i said i’m not sympathetic.
Ok, then you’ll have to forgive me if I’m not immediately sympathetic to someone whose first reaction to hearing that their son beheaded them is to say they’re not sympathetic.
You are a huge piece of human filth
do you need a tissue?

Most sane republican
It’s not about republicans, it’s about mental health.
Also when mental health problems’ reception in the society marginalizes you, you tend to seek for cults\sects and other such kinds of feeling of belonging to something without it being personal (because personal contacts are where your trauma is).
I didn’t read the article, but suspect he also lived with his father at that age.
I didn’t read the article
LMAO
He didn’t read it because he can’t read, be nice.
Damn, i am sorry. Anal phabets are really bad in life.
What? Does anything of what I said require reading it? Use your head for a difference
Dunno, didn’t read your comment
I wasn’t answering the article, you moron. And you were answering my comment.
Why are morons like you always so confident of being able to do irony?
Participation in a discussion requires your due diligence to at least familiarize yourself with the topic.
Does anything of what I said require reading it?
I think I’ve addressed that and you are playing dumb.
It’s not about republicans, it’s about mental health.
No, it’s about repoublicans. Trump specifically.

Wild guess with no backing in the article at all

Cool guess, but you could also have read the article.
Just shooting wild guesses and opinions under a very problematic topic helps noone and is lazy at best.
Do you remember when those couple people tortured a developmentally disabled guy on camera because he liked Trump? Probably not.
I don’t like Trump but there are definitely crazies everywhere. I think dehumanizing people with different opinions about how to create a healthy society is the dangerous thing. Saying the other side are all monsters tends to turn people with mental illness into monster hunters.
Wild guess
It’s not a guess, it’s a dependency connected to the wider subject.

It’s not about the article.

My guesses and opinions are definitely better than those of apes throwing their own shit at another bunch of apes with weird red headwear.
It’s not about republicans, it’s about mental health.
Republicans are actively making it as hard as possible to receive help for or pro actively address mental health issues. They also actively shame people for such problems and want them to just shut up about it. So no, Republicans definitely bear quite a lot of guilt for such “tragedies”!
I was answering an opinion about republicans being more likely to cut off heads and spew stuff about immigrants destroying Murrica (because they all are secretly tribesmen with pipe and feathers hidden somewhere safe).
What you say is orthogonal to that.
Yeah, surely they do.
What you say is orthogonal to that.
How so? The primary audience for violent propaganda are republicans. The worst you can find on the democrat/left side are people saying you should beat up Nazis. And even that is hardly done by “official” news channels.
So yeah, currently fanatic republicans are a lot more likely to commit murder than anyone on the other side. Their fetishisation of guns to “defend them self” against the government alone makes sure of that.
Welp, the violence is starting sooner than I thought.
Mental illness and right wing conspiratorial fear-mongering, like peas and carrots.
Mohn is the author of books listed on Amazon.com, including one called “America’s Coming Bloody Revolution,” and another titled “Poems I Wrote While Stoned.” He called for the impeachment of FBI director Christopher Wray last February on his Facebook page. In 2020, he wrote on Facebook, “#Yeezy for Preezy twenty-twenty-feezy! 2024 may be the first year I bother to vote.”
When touting the “America’s Coming Bloody Revolution” book on his Facebook page, Mohn wrote, “I believe the time has come for action.” He also wrote a book called “The Revolution Leader’s Survival Guide,” according to his Facebook page.
One of his book captions says that Justin Mohn’s “four year stay in Colorado caused multiple lawsuits and changed the possible outcomes of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election by exposing 3 Presidential candidates as corrupt which forced them to drop out of the race.” A 2017 book description says he wrote then-President Trump a letter, according to Levittown Now.
In 2023, he filed a lawsuit against the federal government that reads, in part, “Justin Mohn, a 2014 graduate of Pennsylvania State University, returns for the fourth time pro se to sue the United States for allowing him to borrow money to attend college without advising him he may not find satisfactory work as an overeducated white man almost ten years later.” …
He said that “the traitorous Biden regime” wants to send “America’s military overseas to fight for Ukraine and die in a Russian winter.” He also claimed without evidence that electors from both the Democratic and Republican parties wanted him to be president in 2020. He also claimed that there is belief that he is “the Messiah.”
https://heavy.com/news/justin-mohn-youtube-video-father/There are real dangers to spreading conspiratorial disinformation, it’s a call to violence for many mentally ill people.
Trump should give him a medal. This is how a perfect Trump fanboy looks like.
This is what right wing talking points do to a motherfucker. These people are not well to begin with, and when they mainline toxic propoganda 24/7 they go absolutely insane.
Sounds like schizophrenia to me. Fear-mongering by politicians only exacerbates existing mental health issues.
Sad day.
