Anti-gay preacher with ‘you deserve rape’ sign gets hit with baseball bat (VIDEO)

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/05/29/anti-gay-preacher-with-you-deserve-rape-sign-gets-hit-with-baseball-bat-video/





An anti-gay preacher carrying a “you deserve rape” sign, has been attacked with a baseball bat.
Brother Dean Saxton, who lives in Glendale, Arizona, was hit with the bat while he stood outside a school with the “you deserve rape” sign.
Known for spreading hate speech, Saxton often preaches anti-gay sermons, and is seen in this particular video outside the Valley high school.
Saxton is seen in a video published on YouTube saying: “The Bible says it’s not okay to be gay”.
He goes on to say: “You need to stop looking up naughty, nasty things on the Internet.”
As he makes the hate speech, various students and teachers approach him and denounce what he is saying, peacefully challenging him on his views.
One 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?”
Then a student attacks Saxton while he is still on camera.
Students and staff nearby are seen celebrating as Saxton is clearly dazed by the blow.
He is later seen walking away with blood dripping from his head
Tabitha Brubaker, 19, was arrested and charged with felony assault and marijuana possession after the attack.
After the attack, Saxton denied that he was responsible for the attack by inciting the violence. He called the attacker an “LGBT monster”.


I don't condone violence, but I also don't have much sympathy for this piece of shit.

...I do not condone it, but I sure as hell UNDERSTAND it.

I used to do Clinic Defense in DC (Washington Area Clinic Defense Task Force) and spent many mornings shadowing (basically stalking) Anti-Abortion leaders like Randall Terry and his ilk. This was to try to gain insight into plans and to generally harass them. Confess that it was actually fun...I LOVE verbal sparring and can quote the bible as well as any fundie.

There were SOOOOO many times I wanted to punch them in their smug, hypocritical faces....but had to restrain myself as that is NOT the way to win an argument.

I didn't like typing that, but that is the exact reasoning he would hurl at a rape victim.

But Mr. Saxton will now probably sue the school district and the fellow who clocked him, and get a nice little payday for finally pushing someone to the breaking point.
