A ranting right-wing YouTuber who allegedly murdered and beheaded his dad could have been stopped, his boss has tragically claimed. It turns out that Justin Mohn's former boss attempted to inform the local police about his bizarre behaviour in the last year, but they never registered the complaint.

According to Middletown Township Police Chief Joe Bartorilla, they could not continue an investigation because the employer was "seeking legal advice" on how to fire Mr Mohn. Additionally, cops revealed Justin Mohn bought a gun just a day before he is thought to have killed his dad and broadcast his dismembered head on YouTube.

Mohn allegedly used this firearm to shoot his father in the skull, behead him, and film a manic video. He was then caught a few hours afterwards nearly 100 miles away at a state National Guard facility. Mohn had with him a 9 mm Sig Sauer handgun missing one bullet.

At a news briefing, Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn, Middletown Township Police Chief Joseph Bartorilla, and the FBI unveiled the new information.

Mohn did not previously have a diagnosed mental illness and legally purchased the 9mm handgun. His mother said he even gave in his medical marijuana card so he would be eligible to buy the weapon.

DA Schorn confirmed that the victim of the horrific attack was 68-year-old Michael F Mohn. He lived in the house with his wife and adult son and worked as a "federal employee with the Army Corps of Engineers."

When officers arrived, they discovered the father's decapitated head with a bullet wound in their kitchen pot. It seemed he read from a prepared script, promoting violence against authorities.

She described the video, saying: "The video is a 14-minute and 34-second video of Justin Mohn, is titled 'Mohn's Militia' and 'a call to arms for American patriots.'

"The video seems to have been filmed in the same bedroom of the house where bloody gloves were found. In the video, Justin Mohn is holding a human head detached from the body that is wrapped in plastic. Justin Mohn advised that the head is Mike Mohn's head.

"In the video, Justin Mohn claimed that Mike Mohn is in hell for being a traitor to his country. During the video, Justin Mohn provides his identity and advises that he is the commander of America's national network of militia, also known as 'Mohn's Militia.'"

"During the video, Justin Mohn advises that he is giving the following order for all militia and patriots across the USA to kill federal employees. He also ordered that individuals from the FBI, IRS and other federal law enforcement officers and those who work at the courthouse be arrested."

"That all federal agents, US marshals, judges and border patrol be captured and tortured for information and then publicly executed. Justin divulges the home address of a federal judge and puts a bounty on his head and the heads of high-ranking federal officials. He demands violence against all federal employees but exempts state government, state governors and state employees."

To find Mohn, his phone was tracked to a National Guard training centre. Mohn had driven past the barriers in a Toyota before getting out and climbing over a barbed wire fence to enter the "secured military installation."

Mohn told police he went to the military base "in an effort to mobilise the PA National Guard to raise arms against the federal government." Schorn added that "he also indicated he wanted to speak to Governor Shapiro to join forces."

More info has come out about Justin Mohn. DA Schorn said the sudden murderer went to Penn State and used to live and work in Colorado. He had a job with "a contractor for Microsoft Corp" but does not have one now. She also claimed he does not have mental health problems.

"It was evident to us that he was of clear mind in his purpose and what he was doing, aside from what his beliefs are," DA Schorn explained. She mentioned he seemed "proud of his actions."

But when people asked about the neighbours' calls about Mr Mohn's strange actions, officials didn't answer.

Chief Bartorilla shared: "Me and our entire police department, our hearts ache for the Mohn family." He said they talked to the family and will help them through this super tough time.

He said the family is "well known" and has lots of "close friends and neighbours who really cared about them."

John Mohn, the father, was a 20-year federal employee branded a traitor by his son Justin. Justin also discussed assorted conspiracy theories and criticised Biden's administration, immigration policies, fiscal policy, crime in cities, and Ukraine's conflict.

During a briefing today, officials expressed their shock that this gruesome video stayed online for six hours and was viewed over 5,000 times before it was eventually removed.

The video, titled "Mohn's militia, a call of arms for American Patriots," sees Mr Mohn venting frustrations about the government and the issues about Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+, while urging others to "kill federal employees."

Mr. Mohn claimed to lead "America's network of militia" and ordered his followers to attack workers from the IRS, FBI, courthouses, Border Patrol, and US Marshall offices and to extract information before publicly executing them. He also leaked a local judge's private information and promised money to anyone who could reach the judge.

"He demands violence against all federal employees but exempts state governors and state employees," said Ms. Schorn.

Ms Schorn mentioned that the authorities got the video but were worried about how long it stayed online. "It's quite horrifying how many views we understand it had before it was taken down," she noted.

Police discovered bloody rubber gloves in an upstairs bedroom. Denice Mohn reported her husband's car and their son missing when she called to tell them about the gruesome discovery of her husband's head.
