This story actually occured last week. But a quick search of the diaries didn't turn up any mention of it.
It started last week when a man was accused of attacking an organizer at the DC May 1st immigration rally. Turns out that man is apparently both a member of the Minutemen and Free Rupublic. What happened next is after the flip.
The man that was arrested is named Tyler Froatz II. He is a 24 year old who has lived in DC for about 18 months. According to The Examiner:
Police say that on Tuesday, Froatz, was counter protesting at an immigration rally in Meridian Hill Park when he became embroiled in a fight with immigration rally organizer. According to police, Froatz bent the organizer's left arm and scratched her hand, before leaving the area to don dark camouflage clothing. Police arrived and arrested Froatz and found a host of weapons on him including a hammer, taser, and a loaded flare gun. In addition, Detective Robert Freeman of the U.S. Park Police testified that Froatz was carrying two knives including a "12 inch dagger-style knife."
A search of Froatz's nearby Jeep recovered a loaded M-1 rifle and ammunition. A map of a local embassy and a detailed, hand-drawn sketch of the park with lines pointing towards the center of the protest was found in the front seat of the Jeep, Freeman said.
And when Police went to Froatz' apartment, things got even more interesting. You can view the video report from the NBC affiliate, who shows the racist literature that was found here:

But for those that don't have dial-up, here is what police found according to The Examiner:
But those items were overshadowed by what investigators discovered in Froatz's apartment in the 5300 block of 8 th St. NW. Freeman described a home bristling with a variety of bladed weapons, 13 guns and more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition. Froatz did not have a permit for the guns which include a fully-loaded 12-gauge shotgun and a .45-caliber pistol.
Police also discovered an explosive resembling a Molotov cocktail. The cocktail was found in a Welch's grape juice bottle wrapped in a t-shirt and appeared to be a mix of gasoline with a jelly-like substance which if it exploded would stick to a person "like napalm," Freeman explained.
A quick google search shows Froatz is a member of the DC chapter of The Minutemen. While not explicitly saying in their article that Froatz is also a Freeper, it was implied. (It looks like it may have been included but was poorly edited.):
Kristinn Taylor, a friend of Froatz who attended the hearing, expressed shock that the "nonthreatening," and chatty 24-year-old could hurt anyone.
"Like a lot of people who feel strongly about the immigration issue, he was out protesting," Taylor said, who added Froatz was not working for Free Republic during his protest.
