YouTube Video Of Levittown Beheading Posted For Hours

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —It was a 14-minute YouTube video that was viewed 5,000 times before it was taken down.

The gruesome video posted on Tuesday night showing Levittown murder suspect Justin Mohn holding up his father's decapitated head and ranting about the federal government remained posted for several hours before it was taken down.

The YouTube video, titled "Mohn's Militia - Call to Arms for American Patriots," showed Mohn picking up his father's head and identifying him by name. Police said it seemed that Mohn was reading from a script as he railed about the government.

The video was viewed more than 5,000 times before being taken down by YouTube at around 10:30 p.m. after being posted about five hours earlier, according to reports. YouTube later removed it for violating its policies.

"YouTube has strict policies prohibiting graphic violence and violent extremism. The video was removed for violating our graphic violence policy and Justin Mohn's channel was terminated in line with our violent extremism policies. Our teams are closely tracking to remove any re-uploads of the video," YouTube said in a statement.

Mohn, 32, faces first-degree murder charges and a charge of abuse of a corpse after his father's beheaded body was found in the bathroom of the family's home in the Levittown section of Middletown Township Tuesday night.

In that video, Mohn calls for citizens to attack federal workers, kill federal law enforcement, and attack journalists. He cited the name and address of a judge and ranted about President Joseph Biden and other high-ranking federal officials. He also complained about immigrants coming into the country illegally.

While YouTube removed the video, copies of it were made and circulated throughout social media Tuesday night.

One nearly minute-long snippet that remained on social media had Mohn calling his father a "traitor to the country."

Mohn's Facebook page was also removed early Tuesday morning.
