University of Arizona student heckles girls on campus with “You Deserve Rape” sign

A University of Arizona student spurred controversy earlier this week after he marched around campus holding up a “You Deserve Rape” sign on campus to denounce Greek life and short shorts-wearing female co-eds.

Dean Saxton, who goes by “Brother Dean,” marched around the Tuscon campus shouting out insults like “God’s going to vomit you out on Judgment Day”, “All Muslims are pedophiles” and “Your dad hates you.”

“I’m sorry to say, most of your dads are ashamed of you,” Saxton shouted at passerby in a YouTube video. “Your dad hates you because they let you walk around this campus where there are rapists looking like a ho—looking like a whore!”

During a tirade on the school’s Greek community, he shouted “Greek life takes perverts and turns them into a professional perverts!”

“Go to a frat party, drink some alcohol, and you’ll get raped!” he added.

Saxton’s demonstration was eventually thwarted when one brave student held up a sign that read “Nobody Deserves Rape” and another held up a Jimi Hendrix poster receiving applause from the gathered crowds. A few men had tried to rip the sign away from Saxton earlier but were deterred by other bystanders.

“Brother Dean’s” sign-laden “sermons” have become commonplace for many UA students. Now a fixture on campus, Saxton is frequently spotted carrying signs saying “Rapists Deserve The Death Penalty,” “Frat Boys Are The Rapists” and “Sorority Girls Are Whores.”

Both campus police and the administration are aware of Saxton’s protests, but are unable to do anything about them because it’s considered to be protected speech.

“He has yet to, at this point, violate the student code of conduct,” White told the The Daily Wildcat, UofA’s campus newspaper, adding that she personally believed that Saxton’s protest was “vulgar and vile.”

But Brother Dean still continues to “preach” on campus and on Twitter.
