Preacher Carrying ‘You Deserve To Be Raped’ Sign Gets Hit With A Baseball Bat And The Comments Are Priceless
How far is too far when it comes to stopping someone spreading hate speech? Hitting them over the head with a baseball bat, apparently. Controversial street preacher Brother Dean Saxton spends his days cheering homophobia and holding signs telling women they deserve rape for not being true Christians. A while ago, Brother Dean posted a YouTube video of his demonstration at Apollo High School. There, he used a megaphone to tell students they’re going to hell. A couple of minutes into the video, you can hear him being hit from behind. Brother Dean was able to walk away, but he was bleeding from a gash on his head.

The assault itself was not filmed nor was the alleged attacker. Several weeks later, however, Tabitha Brubaker, 19, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. In her statement to police, she “advised that she had no involvement with the incident.” In spite of that, Brubaker was held on a $10,000 bond at the MCSO 4th Ave Jail facility for more than a week.

But supporters quickly put up two different fundraisers, and the combined funds were sufficient to get Tabitha released on June 3rd. As she was awaiting trial, several lawyers offered to represent Tabitha pro bono. In the end, however, Tabitha got 60 days of jail time. Unfortunately, she never got back the $10k bail money that was raised from a supportive community by her ex-partner who posted it.

Later, Saxton kicked Mackenzie Brandt, a University of Arizona criminal justice studies sophomore and was given assault charges himself. This got him banned from campus for a year. When the ban was lifted, Saxton returned to patronizing about how Muslims are terrorists, homosexuality is a sin, and students who wear yoga pants “deserve rape.”

Well, TBH. He asked for it. Dressing the way he did and carrying that sign. It's just an open invitation to anyone to hit him with a baseball bat, hockey stick, car jack, forklifttruck, or anything other you might accidentally be having handy at the moment. They should vaccinate him with Round Up.
He was asking for it. He was going around and yelling. Attracting the wrong kind of attention. Don't even get me started on what he was wearing. I would not even wear that in front of my grandmother. Shame on him for having no standards. Does he really think that he is safe from hell? I bet he's doing this to cover up a secret gay agenda. Guys like him gotta be desperate for attention but can't let his church now he's sleeping around. (This part is all sarcasm) But honestly though, "you deserve rape" I am actually speechless. How dare he say that. What on Earth?
He should have just laid back and enjoyed it, you know, it’s still a gift from god!
It was an aggravated blunt force collision. He shouldn't have put his head in the range of the bat's trajectory. Plus, I think they were really going for his sign and he instinctively put his head in the way to protect it.
I think he was faking it. That’s just red paint. You can’t believe all these baseball bat “victims.” If it’s a legitimate baseball bat, the male body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.
I agree the you deserve rape will get anyone a punch in the face even something worse

Wil VanderheijdenI have to agree, but thanks for the laugh I really needed it today

Just playing Devil's Advocate here. He "asked for it by the way he was dressed?" Going by that logic, if a woman dresses sexily and provocatively, she's asking for rape. And we all know how stupid that idea is.
That's the whole point. All of those are paraphrases of things said about women being raped.
Yeah there's ALWAYS just THAT one dude who wants attention.

To be fair Wil does not deserve rape. Nor a bat to the head.
I have absolutely no sympathy for him, he deserved that and much more. He is a vile piece of sh*t, I understand the freedom of speech but seriously where is the line drawn? What he is doing is illegal in most of Australia. BTW doesn’t the bible state MANY times not to judge and that God is the only one to make judgement?
It does, but a lot of Christians conveniently ignore those parts, sadly.
That man is not a Christian. Christians are people who follow the teachings of Christ. I don't recall at all where Christ said to be hateful and hurtful to others. You can say you're anything you want, but your actions show who you really are.
And people wonder why atheism is the fastest growing 'religion' in the U.S....
Oscar: Atheism is not a religion and it’s not “the fastest growing” affiliation. The fastest growing affiliation is “none”, but that still includes people who believe in magic, ghosts, reincarnation, chakras, healing crystals, and anti-vax myths (among all kinds of other nonsense). People who self-describe as atheist is still quite a minority in the USA and there’s a lot of bigotry against atheists (including some places that still have “no atheists in government” laws on their books).
a LOT of christians completely forget the NEW testament. preach about Jesus, until people want to puke on them, and then start quoting the OLD testament. so... really, people like him are NO BETTER than the Muslims that follow the Quran that these dark age jack offs pretend to hate. and yet.... nope, same shit, same pile. it all smells in the summer.
Not real Christians then. False christians.
This man is not behaving as a Christian. Claiming to be a Christian and being a Christian are two different things.
Not true Christians then. ''You shall know them by their fruits.''
There’s a difference between freedom of speech and allowing hate speech. He should have been shut down and he should be permanently banned from campus.
There’s a difference, yes, but not legally. There are only a few types of speech that are excluded from the freedom of speech rights in the USA and this psychotic asshole, with his hate speech, was still covered under free speech. If someone arrested him for “inciting violence”, that might’ve worked to shut him down, but judges might not agree with the arresting officers and declare that the psychotic asshole’s rights were violated. It’s rare to get white men arrested for this kind of thing; Trump was inciting violence in one (or more) of his campaign rallies and the cops did nothing. However, the school, as a private property owner, could have had him removed from their property. If he was technically standing OFF their property or on public property, then it again becomes a case where there’s no law to send him away or stop him.
Amber, do you seriously believe he's not legally protected from assault while engaged in his first amendment right, as looney as it is?
Freedom of speech gets a line drawn when it becomes hate speech.
No it doesn’t; not legally. It’s a very dangerous path to go down. Who defines what hate speech is? How might someone in a position of power abuse that definition to silence legitimate peaceful protest? (There’s already a huge assault on protest rights, by corporations) I’m on the side of human rights here and I firmly believe this psychotic asshole should be prevented from engaging in violent speech like this (advocating rape is, IMO, speech which incites violence, and that IS illegal), but the law currently doesn’t share my opinion on this and I’m aware of how risky it is to meddle with the definition of acceptable and unacceptable speech. That’s WHY free speech cuts both ways.
Tommy Walker is correct in his statement about speech rights, yet he was down-voted into oblivion. This is where the left-wing (where I stand) falls down on the job of rational discourse. Sigh.
Yes it does, I'm a Christian and it saddens me so deeply when I see someone claiming to be a Christian and believes it to be ok to say these things or pass judgement. He may be a believer, but he is truly lost. Someone who reads the Bible and wants to live by all of it, including the new testament should know better. Please do not think all Christians are this way, because we aren't. Unfortunately the crazy ones are the ones who get noticed! 😒
Same here.
Truly God's heart is grieved also. He is most strict with those who spew what is false about him. Misrepresenting him is serious.
There will always be crazy people like him. Just be thankful he has no power thanks to a separation of religion and state in this country. If he did, the West would be no different than the theocratic Islamic nations that exist today where women, men, and children are raped for every reason under the sun and they can't do anything about it.
That isn't what separation of church and state means,rather it means that a Muslim president can't make it illegal to be a Catholic,and that you can't be exempted from a law simpily because of your religion
That's what I always say, when it crosses the line into hate speech it's NO LONGER free speech & the gov't & social media sites shut down THE TRUTH, but they won't shut down hate speech UNLESS it's towards Israel. The hypocracy & double standards are TERRIBLE worldwide.
#45 incites hate speech at his rallies all the time, it just depends who and it depends where? If he was a middle age or young educated Black man we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
Put him in a black room!
God isn't responsible or emotionally stable enough to make judgments. More than once he's had temper tantrums and bestowed death and destruction on humanity and the world. Floods, locust plagues, ordering the death of people, the list goes on. The dude is a complete nutter.
God says many things: ''Love one another.'' ''You shall not murder.'' Speak the truth in love.'' ''And the servant of the Lord shall not quarrel, but be patient with all men, in meekness teaching those that opppose themselves, if per chance they may be delivered from the enemy, who are taken captive by him at his will.'' And yes he even says to judge between right and wrong but we are not the ultimate judge for people, like you said. This man was in too much error. He could ''speak the truth in love'', but he was not even doing that. Saying a woman deserves to be raped is way off the chart in the wrong. If a person didn't discipline him, God would eventually and it would be far worse. It is better if we keep ourselves in check.

There isnt a line when it comes to free speech. His right is the one that needs protection the most. I dont agree with anything this scum says but what happens if his type becomes the majority then your speech is in jeopardy...
Well ACTUALLY, freedom of speech only means the GOVERNMENT can't punish him for what he says. A university though? Can. Freedom of Speech isn't freedom from repercussions, only freedom to not be jailed by the gov for things you say. He ABSOLUTELY deserved to be hit like that since it didn't kill him, and he'd absolutely deserve to be permanently banned from the university, and it wouldn't be going against his "right" since it wouldn't be the Government doing it.

He deserves to be hit with a baseball bat because he has opinions you don't like and he is obnoxious about it? You are a way worse person than he is.
Obviously by saying that a women is just asking to be raped he was giving the subconscious message please beat me up the side of my head I really really like it

He was no more asking to be potentially killed for being a dickhead than a woman is asking to be raped for wearing a mini skirt. Your logic sucks. Two wrongs don't make a right.
If he didn't want to be smacked i the head with a base ball bat, than he shouldn't have worn clothes that expose so much cranium! He was just asking for it so what is he crying about?
It was sarcasm.
