Woman arrested for hitting homophobic preacher with a baseball bat

By Fabio Crispim

19-year-old Tabitha Brubaker has been arrested after attacking a homophobic preacher from Arizona with a baseball bat, ABC reports.

Brother Dean Saxton normally demonstrates outside high Schools where he denounces homosexuality and carries signs telling women that they deserve to be raped for not “being true Christians.”

But this time, during his mission at the Apollo High School, Tabitha responded to his so called ‘hate-speech’.

Saxton uploaded a YouTube video of the incident and it shows him using a megaphone at the high school saying, “The Bible say it’s not OK to be gay.”

“You need to stop doing naughty, nasty things, Apollo High School. You need to stop looking up naughty, nasty things on the internet.”

Though you never see Brubaker in the video, Saxon gets hit with the baseball bat and the crowd around the preacher celebrate. Saxton was able to walk away but can be seen bleeding in the video.

Brubaker has been arrested for felony assault and possession of marijuana.
