Man posts disturbing video after decapitating father
A 32-year-old man from Pennsylvania, Justin Mone, posted a disturbing video on YouTube in which he brandished the decapitated head of his father. In the now-deleted video, Mone ranted about several conspiracy theories, including those involving Black Lives Matter, taxes, the LGBTQ community, and the Biden administration. He also urged viewers to kill all federal employees and seize federal offices, claiming to be the head of an American militia network known as Mone's Militia. Mone was later arrested after breaking into a state National Guard facility. He has been charged with first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and possession of an instrument of crime with intent.
