Police nabbed the deranged sicko hours later, gun in hand, at a National Guard base.
The horror unfolded on YouTube, racking up over 5000 views before being yanked off. Mohn’s now banged up without bond, slapped with charges including murder and abuse of a corpse, as per Pennsylvania court dockets.
In his disturbing online spiel, Mohn slammed the Biden administration and the border crisis, bizarrely declaring himself the new acting US president under martial law. YouTube yanked the video for its graphic brutality.
This chilling case emerges amid a tense political climate in the States. Social media bigwigs, already getting a grilling by Congress, are under the cosh for letting violent videos linger on their platforms.
CNN’s ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe called the broader picture “extremely concerning” as the political temperature soars.
Here’s how the ghastly discovery came about
Police in Middletown Township rushed to the scene at 7pm Tuesday after a call from the victim’s wife. They found Michael F. Mohn lifeless in the bathroom. The son, and alleged killer, had fled the scene in his father’s car.
A machete and a big kitchen knife were in the bathtub, and the dad’s head was stashed in a cooking pot in a bedroom, as per a police affidavit.
In the gruesome YouTube video, Mohn shows off a blood-soaked head in a bag, branding his dad, a long-serving federal worker, a traitor.
“America is rotting,” he rants, blaming “far left, woke mobs.”
Investigators found bloodied gloves. The video matched the scene, confirming the sickening act.
YouTube, in damage control, said it yanked the video for breaking its graphic violence policy.
After doing a runner, Mohn broke into a National Guard base in Pennsylvania, over 100 miles away, armed to the teeth. He was collared at Fort Indiantown Gap base, not resisting arrest, but the puzzle of his connection to the base remains.
It’s not known if Mohn has a lawyer; CNN’s reaching out for comments. He appears in court on February 8, and is currently held without bond.
Bucks County District Attorney’s Office is set to give more details of the crime in a news conference.
Mohn’s ex-roommate, Davis Rebhan, told CNN he’s been paranoid about the government since 2016. Rebhan described Mohn as a “weird kid” with “clear issues” and a self-claimed undiagnosed PTSD.
