A troubled teenager was arrested and fired from his job after his vile racist rant went viral on social media.
Brandtbert Brudenell, 19, apparently had too much to drink at the WM Phoenix Open in Arizona on February 6, when he confronted a group of women and started making the racist and sexist remarks, the Arizona Republic reports.
‘You god**** b***ers should be sliced at the throat at the border,’ he told the women in the video, using a derogatory word for Mexicans.
‘You wanna know why you god**** b***ers should be sliced at the throat, because you guys are god**** border hopper n****rs.’
He then tried to make a reference to the white supremacist hate symbol 1488, but butchered the last two numbers.
‘You know what 1444 means? Hail Hitler,’ he said.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, the first two numbers of 1488 are supposed to represent the ’14 Words’ slogan: ‘We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.’
The two eights, meanwhile, stand for ‘Heil Hitler’ because ‘H’ is the eighth letter of the alphabet.
When the women recording Brudenell’s remarks eventually started to confront him, he responded with even more insults.
‘You guys, dumba** b****es don’t know s**t,’ he said, before calling them ‘fat girls.’
The woman who recorded the video wrote in a caption that she and her friends ‘were doing our own thing and he approached us and started making comments about Mexican men so we started recording.’
Unfortunately for Brudenell, he was wearing a hat bearing the logo of his employer, home security company Vivint, at the time – making it easy for Internet sleuths to figure out where he worked.
As the video then went viral, Vivint announced Brudenell was fired from his position.
‘We have identified the individual and terminated his employment,’ it said in a statement.
‘This behavior is abhorrent and in no way reflects the values of our brand.’
Brudenell had only worked at the company for less than three months, according to the Independent.
If that wasn’t bad enough, Brudenell was also arrested on unrelated charges shortly after the video was taken.
Police say he was caught walking the grounds of TPC Scottsdale, where the tournament was taking place, shortly before 8pm.
He was caught walking near the course’s second hole after the grounds had closed, AZFamily reports.
When officers first approached him on the course, he allegedly refused to leave.
Event security at the course also said he ran from their guards when they first noticed him walking on the grounds.
Brudenell was charged with criminal trespass, refusing to provide a truthful name and being under 21 with liquor in the body.
Following his arrest, officers were also notified about the abhorrent video.
They said they then filed an incident report, launched an investigation and are in contact with the woman who posted it.
In the meantime, the Phoenix Open has banned Brudenell from any future events – and he will be treated as a passenger if he were to ever return.
The event staff also condemned his hate speech as ‘unacceptable and not representative of our fans, players and organizers’ who it said ‘have a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech in any form.’
