In the YouTube video, titled “Mohn’s Militia – Call To Arms For American Patriots”, Mohn brandishes his father’s head in a plastic bag, later visible in a cooking pot.

They found Michael Mohn’s decapitated body in a downstairs bathroom, with a machete and a large kitchen knife in the bathtub. His head was found in a cooking pot in a nearby bedroom. Later, police apprehended Mohn near the National Guard training facility at Fort Indiantown Gap.
Mohn’s past social media activity includes promoting his self-released music and books, such as a nonfiction work claiming to lead a peaceful revolution if positive change did not come to America and the world soon.
