Trolling for violent reaction was one of the reasons the Westboro Baptist Church would post up outside of funerals. So far as I know it rarely worked, if ever.
"As protesters took to the streets in Indiana on July 6 to decry an alleged hate crime at Lake Monroe, a red Toyota Corolla sped toward them, dragging two protesters along, on the hood and on the side of the car. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries. A few days later, a 66-year-old white woman was arrested and charged in the incident."
It was a point of pride for many right wingers to threaten to crash their cars into non-violent protestors.
