Justin Mohn filed lawsuit against US for not getting job as 'overeducated white man': court documents

Justin Mohn, 32, who was detained for allegedly beheading his father, sued the US after he was turned down for a job as an "overeducated white man", as per the court records.

Following the discovery of a man deceased in a Levittown home around two hours away, Mohn was taken into custody on Tuesday night near Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. He was accused of first-degree murder, abusing a corpse, and intentionally possessing a weapon of crime, according to Newsweek.

The Philadelphia Inquirer was informed by sources acquainted with the inquiry that Michael, Mohn's father, was the victim and that his head had been amputated. Mohn is accused of sharing a horrific video of a decapitated head that he claimed belonged to his father on YouTube.

Mohn used student loans to pay for his bachelor's degree in agribusiness management, which he earned from Penn State University in May 2014. He said that after graduating from college, he had trouble finding and keeping a job.

Mohn claimed in August 2022 that he should receive over $10 million from the US because, according to court records filed in March 2023, his degree "did not lead to better jobs or higher pay, but rather disadvantaged him because he was perceived as an 'overeducated, white male' and 'affirmative action' policies hurt his career chances."

The documents said that Mohn "alleged that the obligation to make payments on his student loan led to mental anguish, emotional distress, financial strain, lack of savings, and debt, all of which allegedly impacted his quality of life."

Mohn attempted to sue the United States four times on the same allegations, but the courts have dismissed all four attempts. According to the records, a United States District Court dismissed the fourth action in December 2022 "for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a plausible claim for relief." Mohn subsequently appealed the ruling, but an appeals court upheld it.
