I hesitated to write about this because, aside from the strong emotions it evokes in me, I strongly suspect that the young woman who hit this idiot is a victim of rape — and that’s why she snapped. We’ll probably never know.
“Brother” Dean Saxton is also known for his belief that yoga pants cause rape.
Glendale, Arizona preacher Brother Dean Saxton makes it a habit to stand outside local high schools and loudly condemn students and members of the LGBT community. ABC15 reports he often also holds a sign that reads, “You deserve to be raped.”
But when he embarked on one of his unsolicited missions this month at Apollo High School, Tabitha Brubaker, 19, responded to what she called hate speech by striking him over the head with a baseball bat, according to authorities. She has been charged with felony assault.
… He is approached periodically by students and a teacher repudiating him. Saxton accuses the teacher of trying to influence the students, who he called “evil.”
“I’m trying to influence the fact that you need to be gone,” the teacher says. “I think you’re a disgrace to Christianity. Why don’t you go and preach it to somebody who really wants to hear your message, like Westboro Baptist Church?”
On that particular day, a young woman decided to emphasize the disgust that so many unwilling listeners felt.
“Brother” Saxton likes to video himself when he’s doing these public hate fests at high schools (I picture him getting his jollies from watching himself over and over) and the video is available at the following link. The attack happens just after the 17-minute mark. Unsurprisingly, he then makes a big deal of videoing his face with blood on it. I’m sure he feels he’s now a martyr.
