The Spotify account of Justin Mohn, a man who reportedly killed his father and displayed his severed head on YouTube, may illustrate his controversial political beliefs.
According to the Bucks County District Attorney's Office, Mohn was arrested near Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night. An investigation is ongoing, but there is no threat to the public.
In a now-deleted YouTube video, the 32-year-old Mohn claimed to be holding the decapitated head of his father Mike Mohn, before launching into a 14-minute anti-Biden tirade.
Mohn also ranted about "far-left woke mobs," the Black Lives Matter Movement and the LGBTQ+ community in the clip, while urging people to abuse journalists, law enforcement and federal employees.
He described his 68-year-old father, a long-time federal worker, as a "traitor to his country," claiming he is now "in hell for eternity."
Mohn's Spotify account contains music alluding to his political leanings. Created using a combination of a synthesizer, electric drums and sound effects, he has released three albums. The lyrics attack women, the media and the political left, and include references to his father.
Mohn rages about parental figures in "Mommumist the Communist," accusing his dad of being jealous of him and saying he doesn't want to "live at home forever."
In "They Came for Justin Mohn," from the 2021 album Cold War Waste Town, he complains about the state of his life, singing "he had no real dad and was often very sad." He also laments "trusting the people closest" to him, and asks why "Jesus gave him life with no friends and no wife."
Nevertheless, he also describes himself as "different" to others and "so perfect" in the tune, liking himself to God.
Mohn rages against globalists in Cold War Waste Town. Describing America as a former world power with its "atomic missiles," he asks "Who wants this place? Not Americans," before declaring "we've lost the fight."
He claims America has been "bought" in the song "Stealin and Buying," rallying against "traitors" and asking "what happened to our rights?"
Mohn declares "this is a woman's world" in the track "Judge Kathy Toilet." It's unclear if the song is inspired by a real person, but Mohn says she "will change the world" by "imprisoning men who are innocent."
"I Miss Lauren" features a photo of Mohn in bed. The tune appears to be a sort-of love song, with Mohn saying that he misses "Lauren," but that she doesn't miss him back.
"Every time I go to sleep I think of her," he sings, before saying he'd "forgive her" if he knew "what he knows now."
Mohn also self-published an essay in 2020 called America's Coming Bloody Revolution. Described as a "short easy to read pamphlet" on self-publishing website Booksie, it claims to explain how a likely revolution in America "can be successful."
