The Hate Preacher's Comeuppance

(upbeat music) Hey, I'm Tara Sarabhan, and you're listening to World's Dumbest Criminals. If you're keen to hear about the most ridiculous, bizarre and downright stupid criminals and crime stories in the world ever, you've come to the right place. In today's episode, you'll be hearing about a hateful street preacher from Arizona who likes to batch a people into reacting negatively to him. He pickets high schools and universities yelling through a megaphone and holding up wrong-headed signs saying things like, "You deserve rape." For such heinous sins as wearing yoga pants. Not only did he get done multiple times with trespassing, but the police were often forced to protect him from people he deliberately provoked to the point of violence. Sorry for the missed episode the other week. I was down with COVID for a while, but I'm feeling much better now. Alrighty, let's get cracking. - Hello, this is Brother Dean. This is Apollo High School. It's 235 and it's time to preach. - Apollo High School. Attention Apollo High School. I am out here as a Christian to represent Jesus Christ to you guys today. I realize that there are a lot of students here who are confused. You don't know Jesus. You worship Satan. You worship your idols. You worship false religions. Only Jesus Christ can help you get into heaven. - Those were the dulcet tones of self-proclaimed brother Dean Saksden from a video he recorded himself in April 2016. He was spewing his judgmental bile through a megaphone outside Apollo High School in Glendale as he was often want to do. This Arizona-based hate preacher likes to refer to himself as "bro Dean" because he's cool and down with the kids yo. Except he's the opposite of cool and most of the kids don't like him because he lurks outside their schools yelling at them that they're all going to hell. It's surprising he hasn't been smacked upside the head more often and he knows it. In this video, the camera was focused on the people he was harassing, not himself. When a teacher approached Dean and told him he needed the student's parents permission to film them, he responded, "This is for court, just in case." Dean is like a one-man Westboro Baptist church. You know there is so-called Christians who go around picketing soldiers funerals with big, colorful signs about God hating homosexuals and well, pretty much everyone else that isn't them. Some of his pet hates include feminists, homosexuals, Muslims, pot smokers, premarital sex, masturbators, witches, women wearing yoga pants or just pants in general and women going to college. He's a bit like, "Get back in the kitchen "and birth my baby's bitch." His ammo is to go around all the dog wants to leave. (laughs) She's tired of my shit. All right, sweetie, just a sec. Oh, I'm sorry. His ammo is to go around to high schools, universities, pride marches, feminist protests and mosques, deliberately trying to provoke people to respond violently to him so he can act like a victim. For example, he told a bunch of feminists they deserve to be raped and when they responded by saying, "Fuck you," he talked about how terrible and vulgar they were and how much they hated God. Which is rich coming from a guy who goes around yelling at women, "God hates hauls like you." He's also a fan of casual fat shaming, telling feminists, "Lose some weight, you fatty." And you women need to get back on weight watches. Hmm, I'm not sure which verse of the Bible that's from. He wears a collection of t-shirts with wrong-headed homophobic racist and anti-feminist slogans, including one with a drawing of a hand pointing at the person in front of him with the words "you're a whore." So he's more like even in-sell and the Westboro Baptist church had a baby. No. He holds up signs spewing similar bile, gaining the most attention for his "You deserve rape" sign. Unsurprisingly, a lot of his stuff is rampantly misogynistic. He sometimes refers to women simply as "camel toes," which there's nothing about them but speaks volumes about him. Like many before him, he uses religion as a convenient shield to try to hide his misogynistic and homophobic ass behind. But we see you, Dean. You're showing your ass all over town. You're ingrown camel toe hair. According to Phoenix New Times, he was inspired to become a bigoted hate preacher after seeing a street preacher named Brother Jed. Dean wrote on his poorly spelled "now-defunct blog," open air preaching with Brother Dean, that he admired the way Jed battled the atheists and brushed off seductive college women by saying, "I realize what a temptation I can beat to you girls." (laughs) And Dean wrote, "I thought, hey, I could be a temptation too, but I becoming a real man like Jed. I started to feel this need to preach this fire. It was like a fire locked up in my bones." Jesus best call the fire department to put this toxic dumpster fire out. In 2014, Dean put his time and energy into protesting a documentary about a Miss World winner and rape survivor called Brave Miss World. Of course, he took his "You deserve rape sign with him." Dean's hot take on the documentary, which he told Vice was, she's a beauty pageant contestant and there's a lot of provocative seductive pictures of her that she has put out of herself. I believe if she was at home and she had kept to her orthodox Jewishness, that rape really probably would not have happened. Oh, he's such a heartless fucking idiot. His point of view on rape is very confusing. He says women in yoga pants are asking for it. Ergo, rapist punishment is fine. Muslims will come to the US and rape women, so now I guess rape is bad. But then he has another sign that says, "Forgive rapists" and the worst one in my opinion, "God laughs at your rape." So now not only is God inter-rape, but he finds it funny. Jesus, fix it. Dean is hell obsessed with rape, but not once has he ever held up a sign that stated God hates rapists or said anything about them going to hell unless they're Muslims. He's just another hate-filled little man hiding behind God to try to control and condemn women and anyone else he fears and doesn't understand. It's not powerful at all. It's weak and desperate and incredibly transparent. Dean got his ass arrested regularly for trespassing and boasted about it on Facebook, so his p.s. ant little mates could congratulate him about it. His Facebook status on April 1, 2015 reads like an April Fools' Day joke, but it wasn't one. He wrote, "I was arrested or cited Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday I spent the whole day in jail. The cops on Sunday put cuffs on me, then destroyed my sign and took $500 of camera equipment and personal stuff on the spot, then put me in jail." Some of the comments included the following. "You most definitely are doing something right." Matt 510, "Blesser are they which are persecuted for righteousness's sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." And another, "What courage you guys have? Amazing! You remind me of the prophets of old." Dean totally gets a heart on from being hated. A hate on if you will. It makes him feel like a very special boy indeed. Another of his posts read, "After listening to the Heathens radio, I have come to the realization that I may be the most needed man ever to live." (laughs) "He's so deluded." "South awareness is not his strong suit." In a post from July 15th this year, he said, "Woe unto. " attention seekers. That's not just dripping with irony. It's drowning in it. Dude is a total attention whore. I think it was the megaphone that gave it away. Dean did a lot of his hate spewing on the University of Arizona campus. It was convenient for him because he studied classics there. University pleased always had to be on guard when Dean was on campus shouting his usual crap about Muslims being pedophiles and sorority girls being sluts. He even reportedly spat at a woman wearing a hijab. Sergeant Barraira, a public information officer for the University Police, told PhoenixNewTimes.com, "Deen is a mall preacher who says disgusting things to women and others that most find offensive. Pretty much everything that comes out of his mouth is filled and tends to rub people the wrong way. And this is why it's usually Dean that they're forced to step in and protect." The students got so sick of hearing about how they deserved to be raped and are all going to hell that they petitioned for ages to have him removed from the campus due to his hate speech. What finally got his ass kicked off campus was when he assaulted a female student. That's right, little Lord Hayan Mide considered it Christian behavior to kick a woman in the chest. At around midday on a Tuesday in September 2016, 25-year-old Dean was ranting about how gay people are destroying the country when a woman approached him and tried to engage him in conversation. Instead, he kicked her in the chest so hard that she had his bootmark on her skin. Dean, who happened to be dressed in a purple t-shirt with a red "no-home" old symbol on the front, clasped his Bible in his hands as he was handcuffed. The crowd who had gathered to watch the drama unfold all cheered as he was arrested and taken away by the police. He was charged with Mr. Mina assault and banned from the school's Tucson campus for one year. I'm going to play you more of Dean's recording from outside Apollo High School on April 26, 2016. He was banging on for about 15 minutes with his usual hateful crap about how Jesus Christ hates sinning students and they're all going to hell blah blah blah blah. People like him seriously overestimate how much the rest of us want to spend eternal life with them. Like, dude, no. A father of one of the school kids comes up to try and reason with him and get him to move along before someone knocks him on his ass, but trying to reason with Dean is like trying to teach a fish out a rider bicycle. During this audio segment, you'll hear a loud metallic crack followed by a cheer from the students. That's the sound of 19-year-old Tabitha Brew Baker hitting Dean outside the head with a baseball bat. See that? That's what I'm telling you. Though you can't see former Apollo High School student Tabitha in the video, she was identified by a teacher and arrested for felony assault. Online fundraisers were created to help Tabitha cover the cost of her legal fees, raising over $10,000. Some lawyers even offered to represent her pro bono. PhoenixNewTimes.com reported that the outcry on social media over the incident was predominantly pro-Tabitha. They can file some responses that I'll share with you now. A Facebook user commented, "If your rhetoric involves telling women that they deserve to be raped, ask yourself this. Would my time be better spent lighting myself on fire?" Another said, "Yes, what she did was wrong, but it's understandable. If I was a woman and a victim of rape, I would have stuck the bat where the sun don't shine." Others focused on the irony of the situation, with one saying, "Tabitha Brew Baker was certainly wrong to respond with violence, but when you think about it, it was really sacked and spelt by his own logic. Like men who can't resist raping those dirty, dirty hares who go outside looking like sluts with their elbows and knees showing, the ones he says deserve to be raped. We really can't blame Brew Baker for giving into her inability to deal with misogynistic bullshit and acting on her natural urge to bus this smarmy mother fuckers head open." After all, by preaching hate in front of a high school, didn't he place himself in a scenario where he was likely to meet someone who wasn't willing to deal with this particular brand of awfulness? When Dean tweeted about the incident, he received a barrage of responses that made the hashtag "Free Tabitha Trend." Someone tweeted to him, "If they deserve to get raped, you deserve to have your head bashed in." Now, I'm not a defense lawyer, but if I were, I'd probably have said something like, "Dedicated baseball player Miss Brew Baker was innocently practicing her swing when the hate preacher accidentally backed into the bat, causing himself to be hit on the head." Tabitha ended up spending 60 days in jail and becoming something of a folk hero. Dean is still up to his old tricks, wielding revolting signs and spewing hate through a megaphone in public places for the express purpose of pissing people off. He's not trying to save anyone. Incidents like this just make Dean feel like he's being persecuted for doing the Lord's work. His takeaway from this is that people hate God, not him. On July 15th this year, he posted the following on Facebook. Too much makeup can lead to faulty character ladies. Ah, it's just a shame this microphone can't record my eye rolling. To finish up, I have some punchline crimes for you. These are cases with hardly any information available, and they sound more like jokes than something that actually happened. A fetty criminal named Wayne Wade was robbing a house in Hollywood when he accidentally left his mobile phone on the victim's bed. After it fled the scene, he couldn't find his phone or remember where he'd left it, so he dialed his own phone number. The officer investigating the burglary answered the call. He pretended someone had found the phone and handed it into the police station. At the officer's prompting, Wade told him his name and address. In court, Judge Hurley was rather baffled by this sequence of events. He said, "So the allegation is you burgerize the home. You left your cell phone. You realize you left your cell phone and then called back and the police answered the phone, and you told them what your name was over the cell phone. I'm just trying to absorb that." At about 11.45am on a Saturday morning in September 2014, an armed robber burst into a news agency in South Manchester. He was wearing a Halloween mask and a wielding an 8-inch machete. He confronted the shop assistant and demanded they hand over the contents of the till. When they took too long for him, he went behind the counter and helped himself to it. As he was doing so, his trousers repeatedly slipped down, revealing his underwear. When he tried to run off with the money, he tripped over his pants and dropped all of the cash and his machete. Detective Constable Andrea Holden Column told the media, "Watching this CCTV is like watching a comedy of errors. After slipping over and spilling cash all over the floor, the thief then spends a good 60 seconds trying to pick it all back up." And in doing so, exposed part of his face and his backside, potentially identifying himself. Do you recognise this ass? That would make an interesting wanted poster. In July 2014, a Chinese man named Lee tried to smuggle his pet turtle in case an KFC burger rapper on a flight to Beijing. As Lee tried to board his flight, the security guards became suspicious about the X-rays reading of his luggage. See, the KFC chicken burger looked alarming to them as it clearly had four legs. When confronted by the security guards about his leaky burger, Lee tried to continue the charade. He told them, "There's no turtle in there, just a burger! There's nothing special to see inside." Obviously that didn't work and Lee had to continue on to Beijing, turtleless. This brings me to the end of the episode. Thanks so much for listening.
