The guy called MAGA a cult, threatened to sue Donald Trump and called him a bitch. Probably safer bet that what he did came from real mental illness than the weird, binary idea of politics shaping every component of a person's life.
Yeah, this guy was a real MAGA hater and totally not 100% sucked in by their nonstop obsessive conspiracy bullshit rhetoric. 🙄
"During the online tirade, Mohn describes his father as a federal worker and rails against the Biden administration and the border crisis while declaring himself the new acting US president under martial law. The video was removed over its graphic violence, YouTube said. "
In the YouTube video, the man identifies himself as Mohn and apparently reads from a written statement and at one point holds up what appears to be a bloodied head inside a clear plastic bag. He says his father, who was a federal employee for over 20 years, was a traitor to his country.
“America is rotting from the inside out as far left, woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities,” he says in the video.
This is the 'guns don't kill people' argument all over again. Yeah, dude was a danger regardless, but it was Republican propaganda that enabled and brought that danger to the surface. Pretending anything else happened would be a slap in the face to that poor man Mike, who lost his head to fascism.
His friends said he went bug fuck 10 years ago in college. While our political discourse was nuts back then, 2014 was nothing like today, not even close.
The man is likely schizophrenic and would have latched into something, even if the GOP didn't exist.
Having said that, it is not a pass for the right-wing machine. Prepare for more and more violence after the next election.
Mentally ill for certain.
I mean, he cut his father’s head off and made a video with it.
Not only that, he led off the video by showing it off. Fucking yikes.
This will be schizophrenia. Reminds me of the bus decapitation in Canada a bunch of years back.
What political side was he on tho?
“America is rotting from the inside out as far left, woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities,” he says in the video.
I blame antifa.
Excuse me, excuse me. He didn’t put himself -- and you have some very bad people in that group, but you also have people that were very fine people, on both sides. You have people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same video as you did. You have people in that group that are there to protest to them, a very, very important issue.
Ima go with bath salts.
Bath salts will fuck you up- in exactly that way.
Whats the appeal of bath salts surly if ur gonna do drugs do somthing worth it.

It’s cheap and it’s still a high.
When you’re needing a fix and you can’t afford anything else…. People do incredibly dumb shit out of desperation.
Same goes with alchoholism and Isopropyl alcohol or methylated ethanol (aka paint stripper,).
Or they’re kids who heard a thing and tried it cuz it was the only thing they can get. Remember, kids. If it was actually fun, your parents would warn you about it.
.. Does it matter? Does he gets a pass if he votes for the right candidate?
Nar i feel ita just kinda critical to the situation.

"They're the same picture."
