... my friend said that he was probably scared by the protesters who were really violent and angry.

The guy who was arrested for supposedly running over a couple of protesters was released and will not be charge after the police determined that no one was hurt and that the protesters had actually attacked the car. By the way the protesters were throwing soda cans filled with marbles at the people who were attending the lecture. So, I guess the claim is true, the Minute Men do promote violence. Strange thing though, the violence they promote is always against themselves.

I have heard that while still patrolling the border in Arizona several of the Minute Men were pushed by ACLU people who were trying to provoke a violent response.

This is an old tactic of the left. I attended a rally to kick off Ronald Reagan's re-election campaign. Some demonstrators were trying to provoke a reaction by screaming things about Reagan. Eventually, a huge guy, over 6ft tall and close to 300 lbs got a Reagan supported all riled up. Funny thing is the Reagan supporter was about 5'2". My friend, a girl, actually stepped between the two combatants and told the Reagan support to sit down. She probably prevented a riot that day.
