The suburban Philadelphia man charged with decapitating his father and posting a video online in which he held up the severed head had a device with photos of federal buildings and apparent instructions for making explosives when he was arrested, authorities said Thursday.

Justin Mohn, 32, faces a dozen new charges, including terrorism and theft, in the death last month of his father Michael Mohn, the Bucks County District Attorney’s office said Thursday.

A woman who answered the phone at the Bucks County Public Defender’s office, listed as Mohn’s attorney, declined to comment on Thursday.

According to prosecutors, Justin Mohn fatally shot his father with a pistol he bought the day before and then used a kitchen knife and machete to decapitate Michael Mohn at the Levittown house where they both lived.

    Wasn’t it only like a week or two later that a Florida man killed his father for getting the covid shot?

    I’d keep spamming the notion of not rewarding the banner of right-wing extremists who take the cake in causing the vast majority of political violence and homicide.

      I feel we’re sitting at the intersection of several risk factors… too many uncontrolled guns, not enough healthcare (including mental healthcare), a very stressed society, and an entire political and media infrastructure telling people not to trust their doctors, not to trust their medicine and not to trust their neighbors. I’ve got my own opinions about who is responsible for most of that, and I’m sure everyone else here does too.

      I think we’re in for a long time of random act of violence, some from deeply unwell individuals, and some calculated and planned by rational, if sociopathic, actors.

        Dont forget the toxic, brain-damaging lead in the air and soil!

          And rampant substance abuse, and traumatic brain injuries (eg, football).

            traumatic brain injuries (eg, football).

            This just made me think about a news story I saw a few years ago talking about how the Marines used to use a rocket launcher that gave the troops who fired it concussions and maybe/probably permanent TBIs, and I was just about to comment about how they used to use those…

            2018 - “Marines Who Fired Rocket Launchers Now Worry About Their Brains”

            2023 -“U.S. Troops Still Train on Weapons With Known Risk of Brain Injury”

              As soon as you mentioned these launchers, I immediately thought about the Carl Gustav launcher. I didn’t see these formal investigations by journalists but I heard veterans (in the context of seeing these launchers given to Ukrainians) recounting just how jarring it was to fire these.

              It’s tragic you can see the culmination of all these debilitating forces on peoples’ brains at a national scale.

                  A group of alt-right 4chan users eventually went on to create the rxxit sub /r/BanVideoGames for the purposes of diluting rising sentiment against gamergate.

                  They deliberately mirrored legitimate arguments and amped it up to satirical levels so that any time anyone tried to search about the unsavory and often times illegal actions of gamergaters, instead of getting actual info they would get pages of /banvideogames memes.

                  On top of that, they actively harassed several early users who called them out for what they were.

                  They pretend to be a satire sub, but have you noticed anything unusual about most rxxxid satire subs?

                  You guessed it, 4chan fascists.
