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 one of his demonstrations was cut short when Brother Dean got hit with a baseball bat

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
Sign
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.
This man is not behaving as a Christian. Claiming to be a Christian and being a Christian are two different things.
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.
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.

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.

Mark, you eserve to be raped.
Gosh, I hope she doesn't get in trouble. I mean why should 20 seconds of action ruin her entire future?
Ooh, brilliant. Best answer yet.

Oh, just so you know, your referencing the Brock Turner case... Brock didn't rape that girl... Look up Atheism is Unstoppable's video regarding the case... Almost nothing you heard in the media was correct about that case...
There were TWO witnesses, rapist fanboy.
Because of the Brock Turner case, California revised the legislation concerning rape, closing the loophole that prevented the rape charge. Were he to repeat his actions now, he would indeed be committing rape. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/07/26/brock-turners-sexual-assault-appeal-he-intended-outercourse-not-intercourse/?utm_term=.2e6a72bbdb8d
I think he forced himself on the baseball bat, and that's why it struck back.
That woman hitting him over the head was doing a public service. That lunatic ‘pastor’ should not be allowed in the general population. In fact, he should not be allowed in the gene pool.
I'll bet he even goes out sometimes with his ankles exposed.
woohoo!
All those fucked up comments saying he didn't deserve what he got... Rape is a crime and when he says 'you deserve to be raped' then he's encouraging a crime - and that has nothing to do with freedom of speech. So yeah, hit him ten times with a fucking baseball bat until he develops some common sense.
He deserved it 100%, but it is still bad for society if it becomes legal to hit him with a bat.

It might be illegal, but he was asking for it.
Oh it might very well be taken under the interpretation of “speech which invites violence”, and that is NOT protected speech. However, that would be challenged in court by the guy’s lawyers, and police & judges are all very careful about setting precedents (rightly so). Personally, I think this kind of speech should not be protected for the very reason stated above (it incites violence; both rape and bludgeoning). So far, this kind of speech is not classified as “speech which incites violence”. But watch what would happen if you said the same thing and directed it at a president... Actually don’t. You WILL get police on your case and you MAY be jailed. It’s extremely imbalanced when speech against your government is concerned. Yet, white male conservatives talk against the government all the time without consequence.
Agreed
"You deserve to be raped" is an anagram for "Doper eyes, overdue bat".
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Hahahhahahhha
He should get the death penalty for allowing his brain cells to be killed. Brain cells are life. He's responsible for his attack. He asked for it. Will someone please think about those poor brain cells?!
Lmao damn you guys are good at this
We've heard it often enough, usually from 'males' like him!
...what brain cells?
I think he had already killed off any brain cells he might have had....
They never existed. He never had any

He had a brain cell?
He should just stand there and take it. He'll start to enjoy it eventually
He wanted to be hit. He just regretted it later so he said he didn't.
Baseball bats have rights too. They were designed to hit dense round objects, right?
He deserves a bat, or a Boot to the head.
A steel-toed boot 🥾 to the head would be more appropriate.

As much as I dearly love boredpanda, this just ma be the best piece I've ever read here. And that is a very high bar reach.
Countries with hate-speech laws would have locked up this joker from day one. Citizens should not have to protect themselves from such agression.
Why do people like this assume a message like that is actually going to encourage people to join their religion or believe in their god? Like is anyone at comic con actually going to believe they are doing anything wrong?
Don’t assume these people are trying to convert anyone or that they give a shit about people’s “souls” or anything. It’s not about that. They are just afraid of what they imagine their god will do to them if they don’t obey and spread the gospel. They are acting fully in self interest and fear of some kind of bizarre, childish-ass punishment of “hell.”
Actually I believe he has a suppression, there’s a study that shows people like this are really trying to fight off their inner selves of wanting to be with the same sex, raping and wanting to do every possible thing he considers a sin. He hates because he hates his real feelings and thinks by doing this it will help relieve his pain from his real feelings.
Are they afraid for themselves, though, really? It seems more like they are acting out in vile hate that is justified by their twisted interpretations of their brand of religion. They seem to be gleefully exercising hate that is okayed by their fucked-up beliefs. If anything, they’re out to create fear, punish, and threaten. That’s how many religions actually work: the invention of sin was a tool to control people via religious FUD.
He will prove he wanted it by going back to do it again.. clearly asking for it to happen again. Girls will be girls..
How unprofessional. A priest/preacher should know that, according to what he preaches, he's a good candidate for hell, for condemning others and glorifying sin.
I think there is no hell, but sometimes I wish it would exist, especially for this kind of "Preachers"
I think people like these are the ones who bring hell on earth. No, but really, a preacher wishing rape on someone is like a medical doctor or a nurse wishing cancer on somebody.
If only he had kept his legs crossed.
...or his mother had.
"Shame she didn't stick that into his anus" my fiancee said xD I agree :D
What the hell in these days are going on!Like back in middle ages, woman don't have rights in to her own body, physical and mental health, life choices. How he can say that ?! Doesn't matter what are woman/man wearing, rapist is rapist. Why it's always woman fault if she was raped or even got pregnant after this? If she choose abortion, and then she will be killer and that's her fault again, because she didn't use birth control, and its all happened for her because of her dress or skirt length, or pants. I don't want to belong to world with view like this. If woman is wearing skirt, dress or what ever, non of these things does't give right to rape her, it's rapist choice. It's sounds like fighting, kicking, yelling, screaming, crying , begging not to do that, gone in the air and it doesn't count because she looked like she wanted to be raped. If this will happed to him, he could blame his pants, they were too tight for his ass.

Relax, this is just one nut case, not society in general.
Actually, there is a fairly (frighteningly) large group of psychotic assholes like this guy with the violence-inciting sign. Worst of all, these people are in our government and are making policy. There are very good reasons NOT to be “relaxed” about this.
Actually it is, so I don't want to''relax''. Like new abortion law in Alabama, woman is forbidden to choose abortion ir rape case even when rapist is her family member, it's something sick! ... It's already in society. Man, don't tell for woman how they should feel or react. If you where beaten, raped and forced to pregnancy, then you can say you understand but it's not that case. If this will happen for your wife, sister, girlfriend, mother, daughter I don't think you would react this calmly in to statement like this. And everybody who makes jokes out of feminism without real understanding what is real meaning behind this word, tell me, how not to be one of them in the world like this, where rapist have more rights then woman who experienced this horror and still going through it because of man like him. So NO I'm not going to relax.
Don't tell her to relax. Do you see what's happened in the US to women's rights. Horrible, sick men like this are being listened to and they have more rights than many, many women.
No one deserves to be beaten up but he WAS asking for it and this type of behavior should be a inside opinion but no he wants to spread it to the world!? Of course people won’t be happy with him. People do not DESERVE rape.
well vile scum like this fucktard asshole does
We can and have to be better than him though
Debrina: the guy is a piece of shit, but it’s a disproportionate response to physically assault someone because they’ve verbally advocated physical assault against others. I suggest the better course of action is to call the police on him under the complaint “the man is using speech which incites violence”. That is NOT protected speech. Let the court decide if they want to agree. The more times the society calls on government to interpret hate speech like this for what it is (inciting violence), the more likely the courts will adopt that interpretation. But beware: legally defining hate speech can go terribly wrong if done by those who have a vested interest in shutting down legitimate protest against injustice. Corporations are doing this all the time to shut down protestors and investigators of corporate malfeasance.
Nah, he deserved to be beaten up.
Unfortunate that she didn’t have a better stance when swinging.
Actually, it’s fortunate that she didn’t accidentally kill him. The consequences for her would have been horrible and would have gotten the “men’s rights activist” assholes all riled up.
Going by his own philosophy of "if you don't agree with me, you deserve humiliation, physical pain, and your rights ignored".... he literally got exactly what he was preaching. Must be so nice to have all your dreams come true, and the world follow your methods. ;) :P
He must have secretly wanted the bat. He must have been standing provocatively, using all the right words but possibly in all the wrong ways, wearing sunglasses. It all says Do Me...how could she contain herself? I would say it was a scream for attention.
Whatever this man is, he is not a Christian. And he was asking for it.
“No true Scotsman” fallacy. Christianity has formally carried out plenty of hateful acts such as this in its long bloody history.
All it takes to be a Christian is to believe that Jesus is the son of the god Yahweh and that he died for sins. He’s absolutely a Christian.
Ah, God's chosen want you to get raped... Good 'ol christian tolerance!
he should get over it. Society has seen much worse attacks
He *was* asking for it. Frequently people like this provoke confrontation to get two things: first they get confirmation that "I'm under attack, I'm oppressed!" Being an oppressed minority is a *huge* part of Evangelical identity. The second piece is financial: they will sue or settle for damages out of court. My old campus had a group of Baptists who did the same thing. This is how they funded their church.
Interesting comment. A couple of motivations that may not readily occur to everyone. Certainly the jollies some get from being a martyr to their beliefs can be highly motivating.
@Dee Hunter; I prefer this one: "he who lives by the sword will perish by the sword". It's also in the Bible. There's no reason for the meek to offer the other cheek. Never again. If he thinks he can encourage and justify rape he deserves whatever happens to them.
The little tease was just begging for it.
Usually I'm not for violence but I am 100% behind this beating.
Someone should follow him out in public everywhere he goes, carrying a sign that says 'racist, sexist, homophobic rape supporters should get hit with more baseball bats' and every time he yells out something vile, the other person should counter with vileness towards him. If you can't beat them, join them, and use their stupidity against them. I bet he wouldn't stay in public long.
Great suggestion!
Well, he SAYS he was hit on the head with a bat, but for all we know he may have done it to himself. Maybe he likes it!
I keep thinking about that idiotic judge who asked the rape victim in the courtroom if she had tried to keep her legs closed.... Whoever wielded the bat, I admire their restraint
well it's in their nature, men are the prey and women are the hunter well it's in their nature men are provocative and us women are weak, we can't resist temptation. oh but a hit on the head is nothing, there is stuff worse than that. this is what happens when a man talks too much, he should have remained silent, back in my day men stayed in the garage fixing cars. he shouldn't have protested with sunglasses on, that shows a mysterious side and women are just curious and attracted to mystery. good thing he was covered up because if he showed more skin, things could have been much worse than that, that's why men should cover up. naahh it's a lie, I bet my money it was an act, everyone knows men are liars and sluts. he deserves it for being a crazy menist, no one cares what these nazis have to say. if he stayed in his garage fixing cars and did his duty as a man, this wouldn't have happened, men shouldn't be heard but seen. ohhh but it's no big deal, c'on he's just being a drama king.
The First Amendment doesn't extend to "fighting words". He should be reminded of that repeatedly.
It also does not protect “speech which incites violence”. But he’s a white man, and he was physically assaulted, so the law will tend to side with him. Sigh.
Agree. And calling the cops on him would infringe on his various rights. Now if he happened to be black and grilling burgers in a park, or wandering around the lobby of a Quality Inn, or hanging out in some dorm common room, the cops would have been there in a flash and he would have had to prove to them that he wasn't posing a threat to others.
Bastard deserved what he got☺️
He was asking for it and honestly deserved worse.
He walked into her bat. He walked into her bat ten times. He had it coming, he had it coming. He only has himself to blame. If you'd a been there, if you'd a heard it I betcha you would've done the same
Had he been drinking?
One would find that a more tolerable reality, but probably not. (I get the rape victim blaming reference, but I was thinking “how can there be so many sober people acting like this guy...??”)
He's scary, but at least he's visible. I think the hoards that remain hidden or function behind the scenes are even scarier. The shock of finding out just how many ugly, hate-filled people there are in this country has been pretty soul-crushing.
"You deserve to be raped" is an ambigram for "Doper eyes, overdue bat". I assume this is a sign from God.
if he had a good male role model, this wouldn't have happened but nowadays men want rights and shit, as if they don't have enough already see men can't do anything they want! he wasn't able to dodge that hit, shows men are weaker than women and thus men are inferior by nature don't men say they're equal to women? bullshit, he wasn't even able to dodge that ball! see, this is why we don't need menism, I refuse to be part of a culture where men blame their sex because of their own actions menism has ruined families, if he stayed at home doing his man duties, this wouldn't have happened. well at least the one hitting him was cute, I bet he enjoyed it in the end. I refuse to believe this, the man is not macho enough to be hit by a ball, I bet it's all staged because men like attention. This wouldn't have happened if he accepted that compliment and that drink.
priceless barrage of spot-on comments, blessed post
PLEEEEEASE Bored Panda, take that video down, please do not give this bigot a stage to the world.
Oh, I love all those comments from Twitter, they are just priceless! =D
At min 17 his wildest dreams were fulfilled: He bacame a marthyr for Christ.
Why would you give an obviously deranged individual who needs serious psychological aka MEDICAL attention the title of "Street Preacher." A street preacher is presumably a functional human being with special interests and a desire to communicate them, similar to any one else who has a social/political agenda. If you stand on street corners advocating violence to high school students, you need help, not an adorable title nor a baseball bat to the head. You need meds, lots of them.
There’s no scientific proof that psych drugs do anything but cover/change symptoms. At best, an antipsychotic might sedate the guy. This is a job for intensive de-programming programs, such as are used to help cult victims.

And sometimes people are just assholes. I realize it makes you feel better to think that people like him are “sick”, because it means that you aren’t at risk of doing something equally nasty. However, that is almost NEVER the case. He knows what he’s saying, he knows that it’s wrong and he’s doing it anyway.
The odds of a rape preacher getting hurt from a baseball bat to the head are vanishingly small if it’s a legitimate baseball bat the the head of a rape preacher. The rape preachers body has ways of shutting that whole thing down. If you are a rape preacher and your getting hit in the head with a baseball bat you may as well just relax and enjoy it. Rape preachers getting hit in the head with baseball bats is God’s plan. That rape preacher had buyers remorse. That rape preacher was dressed like a baseball.
Love these responses!!
how come no one mentioned that she was really good at sports so she should get away with it?
She had enough power on that swing that she would have hit a home run.
Not all pastors are like this. I know many pastors who are accepting of all types of people groups and actually help counsel people going through this including my father. He is a disgrace for all people who call themselves Christians.
I missed reading "he should have just closed his legs"
Ya know...this whole 'free speech' thing is getting out of hand. What was supposed to allow open criticism of government has turned into something unrecognizable.
It’s a very delicate type of thing to legislate. If you create an exception for “hate speech”, be very careful that it does not get worded in such a way that it can be used to silence legitimate protest. We are currently experiencing an attack on the rights of protesters who are trying to stop corporations from destroying the environment and abusing people and animals. Look up “ag gag” laws, and “green is the new red” for more info.
People think that if an entity can stop speech they dont like that it will somehow magically stop THOUGHTS they don't like, when in reality all silencing does is internalize the thoughts into anger and martyrdom. Genuine social change does not come from simply silencing the speech/thoughts you find unacceptable, all that does is suppress. I for one would rather have the racists, bigots, sexist and generals assholes make themselves known to the rest of society to be dealt with naturally.
Stupidity takes different shapes in social networking era to gain visibility. Some need a banner.
Sooner or later he'll be arrested and jailed for something. Probably rape. Then he'll find out who deserves it and exactly how that feels.
Violence is never the answer. Even though I get every single comment, it's not ok to hit someone with a baseball bat. Better to get out there with signs like, "You first," or "I'm with stupid," or "You deserve therapy" or something. Or just mock the man en masse. Violence will never fix violence.
How would he feel if a female relative of his was sexually assaulted? Would he say she deserved it? I don't think so. Whoever clobbered him with a bat should have received a medal.
This all seems very suspicious. Not sure what the end game is here but he certainly doesn’t represent my Christianity.
Or mine. My Christianity follows a God who loved the world so much that he was willing to sacrifice himself, not one who would condemn half of his human creations for existing.
It was consensual he was asking for it.

Or that classic, “She didn’t do it, but he was asking for it anyway.” ...///.... And also the classic - why should he destroy her life over one little mistake....
The girl who asked him if he was okay toward the end of the video was far more christian than he was.
Why does she have to be Christian at all? Just being decent to fellow human beings, despite intense disagreements with them, does not require religion.

Freedom of speech comes with the responsibility of understanding the impact of your words. That is why hate speech can be prevented. If the words ask to hurt others or belittle the pain of others, you need to accept someone is incapable of grasping this responsibility and therefore will have his right to this freedom revoked. Because where would you stop? What if "your opinion" states someone needs to be physically punished and what if your influence on the people around you is large enough for it to happen? Is that ok? Doubt it. Sometimes an opinion is nothing more than personal frustration and that "opinion" needs to stay right between that person and his therapist...
It’s a very delicate type of thing to legislate.

why doesnt the police do anything first of all? that mas seriously seems mentally troubled...
Why were you voted down? Here’s a compensatory up vote. The police don’t see this guy’s actions as crime. They should, since it can be interpreted as “speech which incites violence”. Free speech laws are delicate and potentially risky things to change, though.
"seems"??? IS
Yes, you are asking for it.
Yes, the only correct answer here is to violently beat people you disagree with. What a progressive society we live in! It scares me more that this woman is out of jail and can go on a rampage at any point when she disagrees with someone. The worst part, is that we as a society encouraged this type of behavior. There are easier ways of resolving this situation. You just note that this person is entitled to whatever opinion they have, no matter how wrong it is, and move on with your life.
It’s really depressing how often people give into these provocations and violent tendencies. You are basically proving this guy is correct with this sort of response. Just say, you are entitled to your opinion, however incorrect it may be and move on. This isn’t a progressive society, it’s a downright terrifying one. Also, this was only okay because it was a man that got beaten. If it was a woman, everyone would be supporting the woman. Everyone would be praising how brave she was.
If like to hit the mofo. Dunk his face in a Porto potty after a chili festival in june!
that is not "free speech," it is assault.
just say "no"!
Did he expressly say that he didn't want to be hit by a bat? Was his head blatantly exposed and not under a hat? Did he try and fight back? Does he have a history of bat-related behaviour? Did he carry an anti-bat alarm with him? Was he intoxicated at the time? Girls with bats cannot be expected to control themselves around guys like this who are literally asking for it.
That guy must not be a real Christian. That way of spewing hatred is not Christike. Jesus would never tell women they deserve to be raped. Who is he to judge people anyway?
He should have been at the office, working to support his family, or at home, mowing the lawn, instead of being out on the street, begging for strange women to hit on him. He obviously loves the bat.
Did anyone bother to find out how many times he's been hit with a bat before this so-called "attack"? He certainly didn't act the way a normal man would after being hit with the bat. Why did he wait so long before reporting it? At this point, with no witnesses (how convenient), it's his word against the person with the bat. For all we know, it could easily have been consensual.
He totally asked for it. Sure wish I could have "given it" to him. I've got me a BIG bat.
I'VE READ ALL THE COMMENTS ABOVE...AND WE ALL KNOW...THE BODY HAS A WAY IN WHICH TO FEND OFF THOSE SORT OF ATTACKS. IT'S ACTUALLY SELF HEALING...AND YES...HE DRESSES SUGGESTIVELY...AND SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT ALONE INTO A MIDST OF WOMEN...HE WAS ASKING FOR TROUBLE. IF HE WOULD'VE HAD A REPRESENTATIVE WITH HIM FROM THE GROUP HE WAS ADDRESSING HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE. AND KNOWING HE WAS DRESSED SUGGESTIVELY, AND IN A DANGEROUS AREA...HE SHOULD'VE WORN A HELMET...HE WOULD'VE BEEN FINE. TRUTHFULLY...AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED...HE GOT WHAT HE WAS ASKING FOR...PERIOD!!!
This is a total embarrassment to Christianity. Period.
Comments. Are. Priceless!!!
It's obvious he was gagging for it. I mean - he has that look.
Remember everyone: “mob justice” is not actual justice. This guy should have been arrested for “speech which incites violence”, which is NOT protected speech. Assault is not proportionate to the crime. Our justice system is broken, but its mission is the correct one. If you want psychotic assholes like this to be shut down, talk to your representatives about carefully defining a law that unprotects hate speech. Be careful, though: as we are seeing with ag gag laws, any restriction on free speech might be used against you by the wealthy and the powerful.
Mob violence scares the crap out of me and it should everyone else. Mobs are rarely just. I’m also scared of all the reactions of people supporting violence. Have we turned into a third world nation?
Of course I’m being down-voted... [sigh]
It's cause people seem to think your comment means "you shouldn't hit the guy cause law" and people, well, violence solves everything(?) these days.
Too bad for the person that threw the bat. Missed the ass.
Just beautiful...

many of these are just what i would say!
I don't agree with the preacher's views. He was obnoxious. He didn't deserve to be battered. To do so was a crime.
Sadly, I agree with Frank. The correct course of action would be to call the police on this psychotic asshole for committing “speech which incites violence”, which is NOT protected speech. Assaulting him may feel gratifying but it is a greatly disproportionate punishment in context to his actual crime. I am not defending him. I am defending a system of justice that acts proportionately. People really need to consider why we have a justice system. As broken as it is, the MISSION is correct. Don’t further dilute it by promoting violence in response to lesser offenses. Overly aggressive laws can be used against perfectly decent sane people, such as protestors trying to fight for justice for the rest of us.

That whizzing sound was the point flying past you. The police wouldn’t do a thing to him over this. They’re thinking the same thing themselves.

Yeah...like rape, right? Remember kids, it’s not just a sin, it’s a felony.
Aunt Messy: yes, therefore the correct course of action would be to call the police on this psychotic asshole for committing “speech which incites violence”, which is NOT protected speech. Assaulting him may feel gratifying but it is a greatly disproportionate punishment in context to his actual crime. I am not defending him. I am defending a system of justice that acts proportionately.
Aunt Messy, the important point is flying past you. If the police wouldn't do anything it's because this man acted within the local legal limits. If you don't like this change the laws, but the violent woman you're defending right now had no right to hit him because she was unsatisfied with the situation. You really should grow up instead of arguing like a primitive moron like all the other libtards here on Bored Panda.
Total side issue: "she never got back the $10k bail money that was raised from a supportive community by her ex-partner who posted it." Why is this even added to the story? Her ex posted bail, her ex gets it back when she shows up to court until her case is disposed. She's not being wronged by not getting the bail money. If there is any justice, her ex returns it to the supportive community members, if the donations were designated as being for bail (and not for legal expenses, or whatever). I agree the "brother" was spoiling for a fight and got one, though. I also agree it's not good for society to condone getting into a fight with someone just because they are asking for it.
Oh how I love how they were giving him suggestions that girls are given to prevent rape
Lol he was totally asking for it
I agree with him and the acts of violence commited against him for simply excercising his right to free speech are disgusting, as are the people who cheer it on. What's wrong with you people? 1416862431...8292ab.gif
Honestly, I hope he has more baseball bat beatings in his future.
This man is not a true Christian for sure. As a Christian myself, I would know that a true Christian would never say stuff like this. At my church we help rape victims, prostitutes, drug addicts, women who are considering abortion, homeless citizens, and more! This is why Christians face so much backlash because of these so called, "Christians" hating on other people for no reason. This is disgusting and I hate it. This so called "Christian" had it coming for him and I am so happy that woman hit him in the head with a bat! I know it's wrong to be happy for others misfortune but I can't help it. This man is not a true Christian and real Christians don't hate on these types of people. We take them in and pray for them.
He asked for it, he got it. How would he like it if he got raped? And being male, guess how that would happen---
This miserable bastard is a vile misrepresentation of all Christians
This pathetic bastard is a vile misrepresentation ofvtrue Christians
A Small Comment From: [Κοβάλτιο][Grandmaster of the Infinity Cult] HE WAS SUPPORTING “NON-HUMAN RIGHTS IDEAS” AND HE WAS BEING A TOTAL F**KHEAD! HE DEFINITELY DESERVED IT!!! BUT AS AN PRO-RESPECT LEADER WITH A NEUTRAL OUTLOOK OF MOST THINGS, I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST PUNCHED HIM IN HIS BALLS INSTEAD! SORRY FOR THE RANT; I’M A LITTLE PERSON AND I HATE ARGUMENTS AND FIGHTS LIKE THESE!!! THIS IS NOT MEANT TO OFFEND ANYONE!!
I wonder how long it will be before we see a news report of Brother Dean in a hotel with an under age man (undercover cop) soliciting sex? Seems like those with all this wild hatred for homosexuality are the ones hiring young men to carry their luggage or are found toe tapping the next stall in a public restroom. Just a matter of time...
Why is he spewing hate? He is not a preacher of goodness. He would understand "peace".
At least the lump on his head isn't a fetus.
The man should be in jail. Women shouldn’t have to put up with this kind of discrimination while they’re going about their lawful business.
I would have hit IT at least 4 more times, ANOTHER ANOTHER OUT OF CONTROL 3 YR OLD MANIMAL.
I think, these comments, Minnie the names be sent to our law makers because it sounds exactly like what some men say about rape and women who get raped. But,, he really must’ve been very proactively dressed, so he must’ve been asking for it! If he didn’t want it, he should moved faster or run. He could’ve prevented it!
This POS must be detained under the Mental Health Act!
if i were there i would have done more than just hit him on the head with a bat *pulls out a pocketknife
Injured, huh? I certainty hope it was nothing trivial!
He should make the best of a bad situation
is he actually a preacher!? damn, all the preachers i know would have hit him twice with a baseball bat before burning that disgusting sign. what a horrible example, not even an example, just a horrible person.
Not worth a comment.
He should’ve gotten hit more. I mean, what do you expect when you’re some asshole who is holding a sign that says ‘YOU DESERVE RAPE’. He deserves more than just a baseball bat. There’s a difference between ‘freedom of speech’ and ‘hate speech’.
Y’all really must be bored this happened in like 2016 and already got recycled in 2018

They're both in the wrong, but imo it is a wash... after all we are all emotional creatures when confronted with something that we feels specifically targets us, and suggesting a crime be committed on a college campus that already has issues with said crime, that's like going to a trump rally promoting violence towards the media and some nut job later on acting on it..like...with...Bombs... oh wait... :/
Much to many priest in the USA,
I really mean just his unsympathetic face screams for a massive blow !
loved reading this--while i don't advocate physical violence (unless it's self-defense), sometimes ya gotta wonder why people walk around with signs like that...if there ever was a case of someone "asking for it," this is definitely it!
He asked for it nobody should have a sign saying rape is good or you should be raped he had to see it coming
Did you hear the one about a preacher who walked into a club?
What an awful way to make a statement about women being raped! Guys in prison are raped - do the prison clothes they have to wear incite rape? No. Rape is a way of domination.
CAPS ARE FOR PHYSICAL REASONS. AM NOT YELLING. SOMEONE SENT THE RELY, 'SLOW DOWN ON THE CRAZY PILLS." FOR A REPLY TO MY COMMENT. THE NOTICE WAS SENT ME BUT NOT THE WAY TO REPLY BACK SO AM TALKING TO MYSELF MORE OR LESS. I DIDN'T LIKE THE SIGN THAT MISCALLED CHRISTAIN HELD UP NOR THE ATTACK FROM BEHIND BUT SAID IT DID SERVE A PURPOSE. SOMEONE DIDN'T LIKE MY COMMENT SO CALLS ME CRAZY. I DON'T NEED PILLS TO ACHIEVE CRAZY. THIS PLANET AND THE CREATURES CALLED MANKIND ARE QUITE ENOUGH. BETWEEN SATAN AND THE EVIL AND THE GOOD PEOPLE WHO CREATE THIS HELL ON EARTH: A HELL DANTE COULDN'T IMAGINE AND HE TRIED. WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO CALL PEOPLE CRAZY WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING THEM FOR ONE. WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE LAWS ARE MADE LIKE YOU CAN'T MURDER SOMEONE AND THEN A SPECIAL LAW IS MADE TO LET A PRIVILEGED FEW KILL ALL THEY WANT AS IN WOMAN WHO is ALLOWED TO KILL BABIES INSTEAD OF USING THE BIRTH CONTROL THAT STOPS LIFE FROM BEGINNING. NOTICE THERE IS THE WORD CONTROL AFTER THE WORD BIRTH.
DOES THIS MEAN IT IS EASIER TO KILL BABIES THAN TO STOP LIFE FROM HAPPENING WITH THE BIRTH CONTROL? THEN THERE IS THIS MAN WHO WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND. A LOT OF OF SARCASM FROM PEOPLE WHO READ THE ARTICLE THAT MADE ME LAUGH BECAUSE IT SAID A LOT AND ALL TRUTH. THE MAN IS NOT OF GOD AND JESUS CHRIST. THE JESUS WHO SAID, "WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE ETC", IS NOT GOING TO TELL SOMEONE THEY DESERVE TO BE RAPED. A GOOD MAN OR WOMAN WILL NOT TELL SOMEONE THEY DESERVE TO BE RAPED. IT DOESN'T MAKE ME CRAZY BECAUSE I LAUGHED AT THE SARCASM. IT MAKES ME A 70-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO HAS SEEN BABIES STOMPED TO DEATH ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND THE GROUND SO RED WITH BLOOD SHE STILL CAN'T SEE THAT COLOUR WITHOUT THE IMAGE OF DEATH AND MY LAUGHTER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MIRTH OR BEING FUNNY.
...should go viral. retard-mem...4cd960.jpg

These are funny in a "haha, ow my soul" , kind of way.
The ladies comments are so appropriate! Obviously, with a sign like that, the boy was asking for it! Turnabout is fair play.
To paraphrase Danny DeVito' character in "Ruthless People": "The only thing I don't like about this story is that it wasn't more violent!"
I think men harbor a fantasy of multiple women hitting him in the head with baseball bats when he's out in public. I mean don't all men? Women can hardly be expected to control themselves when he sends these mixed signals.
He's lucky a baseball bat to the head is all he got. And to be a preacher!! WOW!!
And his underwear! He was so asking for it.
I’m disgusted that he would be allowed on ANY school campus and even more disgusted that this happened in Arizona. This is inciting violence and should not have been allowed because of it.
Sadly, I could not stop laughing at the comments. And sadly, he really did deserve this and so much more! Aren't Christians supposed to be like Jesus and be accepting of everyone? And non-judgemental? When I saw that sign I stood up so fast I knocked my chair over. Shocking! And a preacher??? Has he even read the New Testament??
He'd better start wearing a helmet if he's going out in public because now that women have seen him in blood their lust will be unstoppable!
I wouldn’t have stopped with just one hit..what an asshole 😡 He was definitely asking for it and I’d have given him plenty!
Wtf ?? I think this guy took to much drugs.. that's the explanation for such a fucking stupid speech .. or we was looking for Baseball Bat on his face hahaha. But , people shouldn't be affected by his words .. we all know how crazy people are , I'm not complaining or criticizing , I was abused , and obviously it make angry when I see this post .. maybe If I saw him , I would hit him too ... but we can let words to affect us ..
He is an obnoxious idiot but that does not justify assault let alone one that could easily have left him seriously injured or worse.
Was he examined by a physician? That line of gore looks a little fake. The time I got hit with a tire iron (not by a woman) it was pretty gruesome in the literal meaning of that word.
why give this asshole his own Bored Panda entry? Does every wack-o get one if they do something? Its bad enough with Trump... dont add to it.
who beat him?
Although I am a straight, white, Catholic male, and I do not agree with the Gay Pride, I think that this attack was totally provoked. This was incredibly stupid to hold that sign. However, she should not have hit him; he is obviously very troubled. :)
To call him a pastor is like saying all liberals are tolerant. He is far from being a Christian pastor. No woman deserves to be raped and no one deserves to be hit with a baseball bat.
This dude is a jerk!!! I’m a Christian, and I think he deserved to be hit!!
Has anyone tried offering him their “thoughts and prayers”?
