Controversial hate preacher attacked by students
A YouTube attention seeker who calls himself "Brother" Dean Saxton decided to turn up outside a school in America and preaching anti-gay slogans while holding up a sign saying "You deserve to be raped" (I think that one was supposed to be directed at the heterosexual girls, though, for some imagined infraction). Video below, the assault is at 17:10 but watch at least few minutes before to get some context
Many of the students tried to argue reasonably with him. A slightly older man came and warned him that what he was doing was highly inappropriate (a fully grown man creeping around outside a school harassing students) and he should probably leave. Then a female student hits him in the head with a baseball bat and he runs away with his tail between his legs, whining and crying. Now that girl has been charged with "felony assault" for which she could serve three years in prison.
Let me say first that this man wouldn't be able to do what he does in America (hang around outside schools harassing students) in England; he would be arrested and charged for public order offences, and there are obvious child protection issues. Second, I find it impossible to feel sorry for this man; he's an attention-seeker and a provocateur, and he provoked a reaction. Maybe not the one he wanted, but if you play stupid games then you win stupid prizes. "Brother Dean" has subsequently called the assailant an "LGBT monster"
Two funny comments from the video. "Why'd you run? You forgot to turn the other cheek" and "lol preacher scrub got rekt 420 hail satan"

Serves him right but you can't just smack someone around with a baseball bat because they offended you.
despite how foul the message violence in response is never the way
would have been better ff they just started laughing at him and phoned the police and let them deal with it

He had alot of warnings tbh.

attacking someone with a baseball bat is dangerous.
That's true, of course; even a punch to the head can kill someone, if it's in the right place or they fall in the right way.
I don't defend the violence and it's never the answer to offensive speech (though I think the man's conduct is probably a criminal offense in California even with the very high bar the US 1st Amendment places any such prohibitions). But equally, I find it impossible to have any sympathy for him and his ludicrous whining and self-pity
Look at his whining about how it was "attempted murder by a psychotic LGBTQ". There's no question why he preached his message at a school; I'd like to see if he'd go preach the same message outside Fort Bragg

Hopefully the culprit will be found and imprisoned.

He should now claim $$$$$$millions from the school board etc.
You're kidding, right? He should be arrested and charged with sexual offences against minors (US laws are extremely broad in that respect, shrieking about rape to minors will certainly be covered by some clause in the California code) and registered as a sex offender
He has no case anyway. Turns out the girl wasn't a student (not that he would have a case if she was)

Are you planning to turn up to support "Brother" Dean in this harrowing time for him? If you can't afford the plane ticket to California, I'm sure you could send messages of support for him and his ministry over Facebook

I hope the attacker gets found and gets punished

You can't blame me if I happened to pick up on a few of those Brother Dean vibes wafting off you. It simply occurred to me that you might well come to TSR for the same reason Brother Dean goes to high schools. But I think we should leave this conversation there,
I have the 1885 and 1886 yearbooks of the Thame Gazette waiting for me in the reading room at the British Library and given their substantial age, it would seem rude for me to keep them waiting with further procrastination.
Good day, all
