• The  orthopedic oncologic surgeon  of 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

In any strange case concerning the beheading of fathers, mothers, relatives, and friends, a gruesome and twisted individual is to blame, carrying a forty-five millimeter political motive—packed six rounds and sights aimed. Any man capable of such animalistic acts, should indeed blame his incoherent mental suffering on the foundation’s his forefathers paved. In doing so, he encapsulates a majority of the less important insane-o, whackjob conspiracy theory, while tackling the small caveats in our diminished democracy left unturned. A man points his finger broadly at the government—yes,  but he has accurately predicted the trajectory of the bomb, due to drop, headfirst on America’s newspapers and the wild, waste-landic freedom of the press.

The man being Justin Mohn and the killing of his Army Father. 

There’s never a bright day in the virtue chase, in fact, America hasn’t seen a puppy-saving hero on the Sunday Morning in decades. This is the generation of shock, the scared, and horrified. Who love the show, who kill for it too. 

White picket, sports-talking Americans are dead, gratefully. Remaining are the evolved-from generational urchins who suck the living life out of the accessible media;

Television, paper, hearsay.  

As debatable as criticizing the ‘Informed American’ may be, the truth of the claim lies in the evolution advertising; Specifically to an audience so infatuated with it all—the harsh reality of how desperate for attention it has all become. 

The killer on television is the magnificent star to a lesser bloom of depraved American citizen, but in a morally gray sense. He is always accountable for his actions, which in this horrible sense could be the killing of man, but his story leaves a door wide open for the opinion, the movement, the enemy of it all. 

To consider the less invested viewer who chews and spits his popcorn at the sight of the nightly news replicating the staunch and graphic fiction he has consumed, the desensitized novices who only know bad news, and the folk among the same genus that really agree with the guy. Ripe around all edges for anyone who may turn the television on, made just that way for any viewer, and America just loves the shit. 

Critiquing the poorly tamed animal is wrong. Any man will tell you that his animal bites because he starved it, he yelled at it, and it sleeps outside. You cannot blame the animal. 

But in the case of the animal being the American, the man brought the animal inside and ate others of his kind in front of him. Telling him that the food was exactly to its shape, its figure, its resemblance to his kind, every night. 

After month’s worth of coming inside, hungry, to watch his owner do this, the animal eats his kind. As if it was normal to do so. The dog doesn’t bite, but he completely disregards the life of his kind. I blame the man who has done this to his animal. 

In pursuit of finding who the culprit is for exhibiting the cannibalistic behaviors of man, it is easily—and I mean easily discoverable by just turning the damn television on. It’s in most cases, the larger outlets exemplifying the hedonism; CNN, the Post, Time, but the small runtish local broadcast stations could be held just as accountable for greatly desensitizing the idiot. Formulaic is such a small way to explain the giant equations these seemingly small organizations push towards an audience. But the credit, where credit is due, is definitely not given to these lesser ranking organizations. These formulas come from bigger shouts, and this monkey-see-monkey-do way of garnering a viewer’s attention comes from the much bigger reactionary behaviors America has exhibited over the last three decades, to tragedy, to conflict, to shock. We as people turn the Television on, when tragedy has struck, almost as a defensive mechanism. But the highs of anger and embellishment September eleventh has given to America, don’t happen every day. They happen few and far between. Years, months, in fact. 

But with viewing polls like these, as an organization, why wouldn’t you make a September eleventh every week. 

“At the end of the night, Nielsen estimated that at least 80 million Americans watched the evening news.” 

So, watch the correspondents run for this specific story, to Justin, and this freaked out ‘Call-to-arms’  Like flies to shit, in a wild chase to exaggerate the thing beyond the eyes of god. Each report inflating the story tellfold, as ‘new’ and breaking details unearth. As if every instance of a substanceless interview is a complete disregard for the yellow tape on a fresh crime scene. This has been done, repeatedly, for the last several days without any hesitation on making the tragedy of the event—forefront, on any headline. Instead? The brash and nasty coverage of the entrails covering Justin’s home and his odd ramblings, as any man would spout after mutilating a living human being. 

The catch in the ambulance chasing game isn’t the death or the accident, it's the romance of the story, and how this week’s car accident or shooting varies so differently from last week’s. The viewer wants Dickens and you can only read David Copperfield so many times. 

Yet in today’s industrialized journalistic economy, the heaps of trash, credibly published, sit almost indistinguishable from one pile to the next. Believe me, it wouldn’t take you but five minutes to sort.  In doing just about the bare minimum examination on any three reports, a reader could be perfectly set in the nature of the story told by his locally trusted press. As in good faith, they could be telling the same true story, or they could be telling the exact fucking same story altogether.

Police said the more than 14-minute long YouTube video, titled "Mohn's Militia - Call to Arms for American Patriots," showed Justin Mohn picking up his father's decapitated head and identifying him by name. Police said it appeared Mohn was reading from a script as he railed about the government

Outlets hire one thousand freshly graduated and doomed journalists, a fiscal quarter, who adhere to the dark and rotten side of the mind that craves an illustrious killing and the storybook reasoning on why so. Explaining rat blowouts like these, where two of the fuckers walk away with the same bone. The absolute absurdity of the plagiarism issue going on at ‘6-ABC’  is definitely due to the fact that it has gone completely unnoticed and plenty of these hodunk, folks-y establishments catered to the morning news consumption, get away with it all the time. Not a single eye would bat at the sight of duplicates, but nobody’s checking and nobody cares – even if articles shamelessly label the authors, the collective and the journalistic publication. The Associated Press, an organization founded on the idea that journalistic works should be ripped, duped, and replicated to high hell, must be scratching their heads at phenomena like this. 

If a writer plays with the ideas of morality, expending them to his will, deciding who the villains and the heroes are, he has written fiction. Yet, if his story is chronicled manifold, he has written history.
