Justin Mohn reportedly described a struggle between himself and Michael Mohn when the younger man told his father that he was placing him under a “citizen’s arrest.”

According to the AP’s reporting, Justin Mohn stated that his father told him he would kill him before he allowed him to do that, and a struggle ensued. Justin Mohn told the court, “Unfortunately, he resisted. I was hoping to perform a citizen’s arrest on my father for, ultimately, treason.”

Local news outlet WFMZ reported that Justin Mohn stated that he believed killing his father was legal under Pennsylvania law because he was defending himself while his father was resisting arrest.

    This happened a while ago, the son was waving his dad’s severed head around on YouTube after bragging about it. All because his dad had been some low level federal employee.

    But especially with how “ice” refuses to show ID, I’ve been worried we’d see more of these “citizen arrests” where crazy people try to arrest someone then “stand their ground” when their commands aren’t followed.

    We can’t count on Trump’s FBI keeping tabs on this shit.

      It’s been impossible to compete with reality since Trump first came to power. Actually even before that. Roughly one year before the elections in 2016 it was already getting pretty wild.

      By the time COVID rolled around, it was 100% clear the onion was no match to the kind of insanity real life is capable of. Remember that 5G thing? Yeah, that’s the level I’m talking about.
