Dean Frederick Saxton, who made a name for himself by telling women they ‘deserve’ rape (Screen cap).
Finally, this asshole has been arrested. It’s about damn time. Unfortunately, this plague on the UofA campus saw a slap given, banning Saxton from the campus for one year, and he has 10 days to contest this. Why not go for a permanent ban, UofA? How about letting your students know they are most important, rather than supplying targets for Saxton’s brand of hatred and harm? Grow a bloody spine, and ban this asshole forever, take out a restraining order, whatever you have to do, because do you really want to be known as the adult leaders who thought it was okay to have a man on campus, yelling at students that they deserved to be raped? How about all the students who agree with him, and might take this as encouragement to act?
TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) –
A controversial street preacher known as Brother Dean has been accused of assaulting a University of Arizona student, authorities said.
Rene Hernandez, a spokesperson for the University of Arizona Police Department, said Dean Frederick Saxton was arrested around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20.
Saxton has been accused of kicking a woman in the chest and has been banned from the UA campus for one year.
Sgt. Filbert Barrera, spokesman for the UAPD, said Saxon was given an one-year exclusionary order and has 10 days to contest it.
Saxton was booked into the Pima County Jail on an assault charge. Bond was set at $641 and he is expected to appear in court.

yoga pants?
What’s he got against masturbation?
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t permanently ban someone for assaulting a student. Is it a freeze peach thing?
Also, i counted, and it looks like I’m 8/12 for eternal damnation. I’m wearing yoga pants right now!!!
Ha! I’m 8/12 too. See ya in hell!
Chigau:
There are a bunch of his tweets at the link. Apparently, yoga pants scream “Slut!”
Alas, I only score a five (or six, depending on definition of “thug” …).
Why does he/his god want to pick on one subset of mentally ill self-harmers?
And is that some sort of pseudo-feather fringe around Bro D’s hat in the top picture?
Marcus @2:
Must rub him the wrong way.
stellatree @3:
Well, he is white, Christian, male, cis-gendered and hetero, so he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

I am curious. If a black man, not a student (especially not an athlete) had kicked a woman in the chest (that really cannot be that easy to do . . .), would the bail have been that low?
Pierce, I’m pretty sure thug means black person to this jerkbag.
Caine, I look forward to seeing you in hell! Maybe we can start a craft circle! :-D

Ogvorbis:
Pretty sure in that case, it would be felony aggravated assault with intent to commit grievous bodily harm, with a very high bail amount.
Damn, I’m only 5/12 with a generous interpretation. Maybe I should buy yoga pants to get a passing grade.
Ice Swimmer:
That will definitely get you slut status. Good for at least 2 points, I’d think.
Thinking more on this (and, in a similar vein to your newest post), they probably would have shot him.
Good point, Ogvorbis @15. I wonder, though, would they even have let a black man on campus to yell at students that they deserve to be raped in the first place? I find it hard to imagine.
6/12 on damnation. Not bad, but I could up my game by getting me some yoga pants.
Wouldn’t Porn Freaks and Masturbators be the same thing? At the very least, there’s some major overlap between the two groups. Also, what’s his problem with cutters? Unless it means something different than it did in my day (people who cut themselves), I don’t understand why they get lumped in with yoga pants wearing, atheist feminists? Not very Christian of him. Personally, I’m 5/12. None of the other 7 things seem particularly interesting (especially cutting), so I guess I have to settle for 42%.
One of the best things about going to school in the deep south (besides broasted chicken and sweet tea) are the street preachers. They’re ever so entertaining. Of course, none of the ones at my school ever told women they deserved rape or kicked one, so I guess your milage may vary.
I’m trying to understand -- is everyone in yoga pants a slut? Does this mean I should be wearing yoga pants, too? Those look awful tight and I’m afraid it’s not going to have the intended effect.
So he disapproves of pot, but he’s OK with shrooms, LSD, opioids, and meth, apparently. Really, if there’s someone I’ve seen lately who looks like he could use a couple massive bong hits, some pizza, and a long sit on the couch, he’s it. Way too much anger, christ-boy, way too much repressed aggression.
Marcus Ranum @ 20
And he specifically mentions smoking pot, but not edibles.
Marcus:
Yes and yes. Or you could wear tight sweat pants, or leggings, or maybe even skinny jeans. Pretty sure all of them scream slut and hellbound!
Marcus:
Considering his targets, I’m really surprised alcohol didn’t make the sinniest of sins cut.
@Caine #23: I suspect he ran out of room. I bet if you listen to him talk that list grows like crazy.
Looks like I’m in the “eternal damnation” group. Hallelujah, brothers and sisters!
Kestrel:
Going by the tweets on the article, I’d say that’s about right. He is obsessive about weird things though, like the yoga pants. He must seriously like them, and that probably drives him a bit bats.
U of A Alumni here. U of A has a long ‘tradition’ of mall preachers, but back when I was a student there, they were a lot less outright hate and blatant threats like this guy. I will have to ask around some of the people that know this guy and see if he’s always been like this, or the current political climate has brought out the blatant sexism.
I’D think it would be pretty difficult to do some decent slutting while still wearing yoga pants…
I’m 9 for 12, and wondering how I can cram Atheist, Muslim, and Thug in to complete the list.
Wow, only 2/12.
By “cutter” does he mean people who self-harm? When did that become a focus for these people?
Saad
2? That’s pathetic.

Re: cutter
I think in his disturbed world people who inflict self harm are just doing it for attention and are therefore “vain”,which is one of the 7 deadly sins*
*A good day is measured by scoring 6 out of 7 as sloth and lust are not compatible when properly done.
Yeah, I score 3. 4, if you define ‘witch’ the right way. See y’all suckers from heaven and I guess have a good time down there? Eh?
2/12. Oh dear.
At least the sign tells me that I’m destined for eternal damnation anyway. Does a low score mean I don’t get to be in with the 10/12 totally depraved crowd? I don’t have to hang around in the waiting room for someone to give me a pass to join in the slutty dancing-knitting-crafting, do I?
mostlymarvelous:
I don’t think so, no. It’s obvious we’re all destined for eternal damnation, so…Party!

Don’t worry, hell is totally egalitarian. There’s no preferential access to the pits* just because you managed to scream incantations while masturbating to gay porn while you were wearing yoga pants.
